Answer 3

You need to look up a theorist called Mary Sheridan. She has written a book with milestones and the norm of birth to 5 year olds.

Also, look into Birth To Three as there is a section called 'Healthy Child' which lets you know what childcarers work towards.

Answer 4

First year:

Birth-2 months: babies focus on your face when you talk; arm and leg movements appear to be uncoordinated; weak neck muscles mean that babies cannot control their head movements.

3-4 months: babies begin to develop head control and can lift their chests when placed on their stomachs. While you should let your baby have some supervised play time on her stomach, ALWAYS place your child on her back to sleep.

4-5 months: babies roll from side to back and/or from back to side.

6-7 months: babies can turn completely over (front to back and/or back to front).

7 months: babies can pull themselves up to stand but have trouble sitting down again.

7-8 months: babies can sit up steadily with the support of their arms.

8-10 months: babies can creep on their stomachs or begin to crawl on their hands and knees. (Some babies do not learn to crawl until after they learn to stand.)

9-11 months: babies can walk when led by the hands or "cruise" holding onto furniture.

12-15 months: babies can stand without holding on to anything and begin walking.



1-3 years:

18 months: toddlers are walking well, both forward and backwards; they can creep down stairs and get on and off a low chair; they can throw a ball without losing balance.

24 months: children are able to run and climb.

36 months: children are refining large motor skills; they can alternate feet while climbing stairs, ride a tricycle, jump and balance on one foot. They can throw a ball overhand.

36-48 months: children can run and skip well, play simple ball games, and are skilled tricycle riders.

48-60 months: children can hop, skip, run, play with a ball, and climb.
