Developmental Milestones Flashcards
When considering GROSS MOTOR skills, how does the developmental line change with age?
1 week: eyes 2 months: Neck 4 months: Torso 6 months: Waist 9 months: Keens 12 months: Feet
What is means is that above the developmental line the baby has pretty good control. So at 2 months the baby can support its own head, and at 6 months he/she can sit up with little support.
In FINE MOTOR skills, how does development change with age?
Fine motor skills develop from the ulnar to radial part of the hand. So kids will scrape things with their pinky finger (6 months), and then transition to using their whole hand and eventually using the adorable pincer motion to pick up little Cheereos (only Cheereos and nothing else) by 12 months.
