Infancy and Toddlerhood
Explains at least two physical developmental milestones that typically developing children should attain during this period of development. The newborn’s physical characteristics are distinct from those of a slightly older infant. At birth, the skin usually appears wrinkled. Within the first few days, it will become dry and likely to peel. All infants have relatively light-colored skin that gradually darkens to a shade characteristic of their genetic makeup. The head may have an unusual shape as the result of the birth process, but it regains a normal shape within the first weeks. Hair color and amount may vary.
Explains at least two language developmental milestones that typically developing children should achieve in this period of development. The beginnings of speech and language development can be identified in several of the newborn’s reflexes. These include the bite-release action that occurs when the infant’s gums are rubbed, the rooting reflex, and the sucking reflex. The newborn communicates directly and indirectly by crying and fussing and reacting to loud noises by blinking, moving, stopping a movement, shifting eyes about or exhibiting a startle response.
Explains at least two cognitive developmental milestones that typically developing children should achieve in this period of development. The newborn’s perceptual-cognitive skills are designed to capture and hold the attention of family and caregivers and to gain some sense of the environment. The newborn’s cognitive behavior can be characterized as purely reflexive. They take the form of sucking, startle responses , grimacing, flailing of arms and legs, and uncontrolled eye movement, all of which overlap with perceptual responses. During the first month, the infant blinks eyes in response to a fast-approaching object and distinguishes some tastes, and shows preferences for sweet liquids.
Explains at least two social-emotional developmental milestones that typically developing children should achieve in this period of development. Delights in observing surroundings; continuously watches people and activities. Becomes more outgoing and social in nature; smiles, coos, and reaches out.
Explains at least two moral reasonings/self-regulation developmental milestones that typically developing children should achieve in this period of development. Compliance and delay of gratification emerge and improve. Benefits from adult-provided strategies for delaying gratification.
Identify at least one social factor that influences this stage of development. Social interaction – Social isolation or lack of socialization can lead to early childhood development issues.
Explains at least two signs that may signal atypical development during this period of development. If the infant does not gain in height, weight, and head circumference one month of age, then the parent or guardian should check with a health care provider. If the infant does not turn head to locate sounds check with healthcare provider.
Describes at least one strategy that families can use to influence their children’s learning and development during this period of development. Make eye-to-eye contact when infant is in an alert state and make faces or stick out your tongue, are activities that new babies often imitate.
Incorporates at least two images that relate to physical, language, or cognitive development for this period of development to enhance the visual appeal of your fact sheets.
