DEVELOPMENTAL
ACTIVITIES
FOR
CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 1
Babies grow and change dramatically during their first year. They begin
to...
-
Develop some control over their bodies. They learn to hold up their heads;
roll over; sit up; crawl; stand up; and, in some cases, walk.
-
Become aware of themselves as separate from others. They learn to look
at their hands and toes and play with them. They learn to cry when parents
leave, and they recognize their name.
-
Communicate and develop language skills. First babies cry and make throaty
noises. Later they babble and say mama and dada. Then they make lots of
sounds and begin to name a few close people and objects.
-
Play games. First they play with their hands. Later they show an interest
in toys, enjoy putting in and taking out games, and eventually carry
around or hug dolls or stuffed toys.
-
Relate to others. First they respond to adults more than to other babies.
Later they notice other babies but tend to treat them like objects instead
of people. Then they pay attention when other babies cry.
