Understanding Child Development 0-12 Months

Identify cognitive, physical, and social emotional developmental domains. Use these domains to observe and describe growth from birth to twelve months. Recognize common milestones such as rolling over, babbling, sitting with support, reaching and grasping, and smiling responsively. Use this information to track progress and share clear updates with colleagues and families. Apply evidence based strategies during daily routines to support healthy development and to build confidence when discussing developmental needs.
