Child Skills Development Stages

Here's an overview of some of the skills that children typically develop at different ages:

  1. Infants (0-12 months):
  • Gross motor skills: Infants learn to control their head, roll over, sit up, crawl, and eventually walk.
  • Fine motor skills: Infants develop their grasping, reaching, and pointing skills.
  • Social & emotional skills: Infants learn to express emotions and respond to the emotions of others.
  • Cognitive skills: Infants develop their senses and learn to recognize familiar objects and people.

 

  1. Toddlers (1-3 years):
  • Gross motor skills: Toddlers refine their walking, running, jumping, and climbing skills.
  • Fine motor skills: Toddlers develop their self-feeding, drawing, and stacking skills.
  • Social and emotional skills: Toddlers learn to communicate with words and gestures, and develop empathy and self-awareness.
  • Cognitive skills: Toddlers develop their problem-solving, memory, and spatial awareness skills.

 

  1. Preschoolers (3-5 years):
  • Gross motor skills: Preschoolers refine their balance, coordination, and agility, and begin to learn physical activities.
  • Fine motor skills: Preschoolers develop their writing, cutting, and drawing skills.
  • Social and emotional skills: Preschoolers learn to make friends, cooperate with others, and regulate their emotions.
  • Cognitive skills: Preschoolers develop their language, math, and science skills, and begin to understand cause-and-effect.

 

  1. School-age children (6-12 years):
  • Gross motor skills: School-age children continue to develop their physical abilities and may become involved in organized sports.
  • Fine motor skills: School-age children develop their typing, crafting, and instrument-playing skills.
  • Social and emotional skills: School-age children develop deeper friendships and learn to navigate social hierarchies.
  • Cognitive skills: School-age children develop their critical thinking, problem-solving, and abstract reasoning skills.

 

Remember, these are just general guidelines and every child develops at their own pace. It's important to provide children with opportunities to explore and learn at their own pace, and to provide appropriate support and encouragement for their development.
