Human development occurs across the life-span, prenatally to late adulthood. Understanding the milestones of development at each stage can support development and assist in managing developmental challenges.
Children develop in a multitude of ways in the first years of life, from physical growth to the development of new cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Development occurs as a child matures and is exposed to any number of environmental factors: early interactions with parents and siblings, and later with other children, factor into the development of social skills, just as visual, aural, and touch stimulation factor into the development of cognitive and language skills. Though children are born with the potential to master all of the skills they need to develop healthily, parents and childcare providers can support children’s development by becoming aware of a growing child’s motivations and the unique ways in which children learn about themselves and the world around them.
The resources available here will help teachers, caregivers, and parents become more knowledgeable about key developmental milestones. Although every child develops at his or her own pace, all children learn to stand, walk, point, and recognize their own name; caregivers need to know when to seek out help when certain developmental goals are not met.
