Child 3 months: development and psychology

During the first year of life, the newborn child is incredibly rapidly developing and every day acquires new knowledge and skills. There are several exponential periods when it is necessary to compare the abilities that your child has with the generally accepted age norms.

So, the first evaluation of the child's psychomotor development takes place in 3 months of life. Of course, to attach too much importance to how your baby develops at this age should not be, since all children are individual and in some cases lag behind their peers until a certain time, but then everyone quickly overtakes.

Nevertheless, according to certain indicators, one can judge not only the correct development of the baby in 3 months, but also about his health, both physical and mental.

General development and psychology of the child in 3 months

The physical and mental development of children before fulfilling them for 3 months is based solely on instincts and reflexes, however, by this age most infant reflexes are already dying out, and many actions the child is already making consciously.

It is at this time that the kids become incredibly inquisitive. If earlier your child mostly ate and slept, now his waking periods become much longer, and he begins to show interest in all the things around him and people.

A three-month-old baby who lies on his stomach, is already able to raise the head high enough and keep it for an extended period of time. From this age, the little boy starts to lean a little on his outstretched hands, and very soon he will be able to hold this position of the body for a very long time.

Natural curiosity causes the crumb to try to turn over from the back to the tummy, however, the vast majority of the three-month-old children still do not know how to do this. Regularly lay the baby on his tummy, laying out bright toys before him, and do with him special gymnastic exercises, which you will show a neonatologist. All this will allow the child to quickly learn a new skill and strengthen the muscles of his body.

The mental development of a child at 3 months is characterized by flowering, so-called "revitalization complex". The kid clearly fixes his gaze on the face of an adult, recognizes his family and friends, smiles and rejoices every time his mother approaches him. With a child at this age, you need to constantly communicate and necessarily respond to any sounds that your child makes, but you should not overload it with your emotions - such small children are very quickly tired.

It is on the "revitalization complex" that a special attention should be paid to a three-month-old baby-goat, since his absence may indicate the development of early childhood autism or other disorders in the work of the nervous system.
