Physical development of a child up to a year
So, a newborn baby on average should weigh about 3-3.5 kilograms and be an increase of 50-53 centimeters. At birth, he has some congenital reflexes: sucking, blinking and a grasping reflex. And after a couple of days the baby begins to see the world around and hear better. For 1 month of his life the baby usually grows up several centimeters and gets better by 800 grams. He should already be able to independently hold the head in a vertical position for a few seconds and respond to sounds.
In the second month, the kid already concentrates on people, but grows up just as much. The cervical muscles become stronger, and it keeps the head better and longer, lying on the tummy and trying to lift the chest and head.
By the fourth month, the crumb becomes approximately 62-66 centimeters, and weighs 6-6.7 kilograms. Lying on his tummy, he already confidently rises, leaning on his elbows, and independently holds the head. Learn to turn over from the back on his tummy, grabs the handles of toys, developing this fine motor skills. The Kid already recognizes her mommy and smiles consciously at her.
Further, in 5-6 months the child begins to sit down, play with toys and speak the first syllables. At the next stage, the baby begins to try to stand on the legs, leaning on the crib, understands what the adults say to him and tries to somehow react. But by the first year of life the growth of crumbs reaches 74-78 centimeters, and the weight fluctuates around 10 kilograms. In a year he already begins to walk independently, can lift the subject itself, and in his vocabulary there are the first children's words.
Psychoemotional development of a child up to a year
In the period from birth to the year after the development of the child, it is necessary to closely monitor and pay attention to any little things. A feature of this time is the rapid pace of development of all mental and emotional processes, so to make sure that your baby develops normally, you need to identify the leading factors and compare them with your child's performance. For example, one of the reasons for the deviation may be a worsening of hearing. For verification, move a few meters from the crumbs and shake the rattle. As a result, the child must turn his eyes or head toward the sound. Up to a year the whole development of the child takes place in jumps.
Crises in the development of children under one year never pass easily and simply: babies are often capricious, coping with them becomes much more difficult than usual, and they literally "hang" on their mother. Difficult periods are observed in almost all children and at the same age. The stages of the child's development up to a year follow the following schedule: 5, 8, 12, 19, 26, 37, 46, 55, 64, 75 weeks of life.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the general development of children up to the year described above can certainly be slightly different, because all the kids are completely different. Parents should not be upset if the baby is a little behind, you just need to do a little more with him and play development games, and also do a set of physical exercises. There are also such kiddies who, on the contrary, develop much faster than standard norms, but this is also not a reason to be upset. Help the child to develop properly, play with it, communicate and pay as much attention as possible.
