Body: From birth to adulthood, babies are constantly developing and growing physically and mentally. Understanding the growth and development patterns of infants and toddlers is very important for parents and caregivers as it can help them better care for and nurture their children.
In the first few months of a baby's life, their motor abilities are mainly focused on the control of the head and neck. At around 2 months, the baby begins to be able to lift his head and can remain there for a short period of time. This is the first milestone in their gross motor development.
By around 4 months, babies begin to learn to roll over, which is the second milestone in their gross motor development. At this time, the baby can flip from the supine position to the prone position and can hold it for a while.
At around 6 months, babies begin to be able to sit up, which is the third milestone in their gross motor development. At this stage, the baby can sit up independently and can remain there for a while.
At around 8 months, babies begin to learn to crawl, which is the fourth milestone in their gross motor development. At this time, the baby can crawl forward with the strength of his arms and legs, and he can explore his surroundings.
At around 10 months, babies begin to be able to stand, the fifth milestone in their gross motor development. At this stage, your baby can stand up with his hands on furniture or other supports and can hold them for a while.
Around the age of 1, babies begin to learn to walk, the sixth milestone in their gross motor development. At this stage, the baby can walk independently and can maintain balance.
Around the age of 2, babies begin to learn to run, which is the seventh milestone in their gross motor development. At this stage, the baby can run with two ** and can maintain balance.
Around the age of 3, babies begin to learn to jump on one foot, the eighth milestone in their gross motor development. At this stage, your baby can jump on one foot and can maintain balance.
To summarize the rules of gross exercise, the mantra is "two lifts, four turns, six sitting, eight climbing, ten standing, one-year-old walking, two-year-old running, three-year-old one-legged jumping" It should be noted that every baby's growth and development rate is different, and some babies may reach these milestones faster or slower than others. Therefore, parents and caregivers should assess the growth and development of babies according to their individual differences, and give appropriate support and assistance. At the same time, parents and caregivers should also pay attention to the safety of their babies to ensure that they do not get injured while learning new skills.
