Teaching Your Child-Developmental Ideas

Before our children started school the parents were given a list of things the child should know before starting kindergarten. Children learn from those they are around very quickly. What a responsibility to bring children into the world and nuture them to adulthood. To me that means you should teach them everything possible from development skills and life skills so they are prepared to function in society as an adult. We should all be balanced in our lives emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually and socially.


Babies depend on others to care for them. By 3 months your child should be able to follow moving objects with their eyes, turn head toward bright colors and lights, move eyes together in the same direction, rocognize the breast or bottle, respond to loud sounds, make fists with both hands, grasp rattles or hair, wiggle and kick arms and legs, left head and chest while laying on their stomach, smile and make cooing sounds.

My mother use to say, "If a baby cries they are either wet, hungry or tired." If the cry continues they could be ill.

By 6 months the baby should be able to reach for objects and pick them up, smile or try to touch themselves in a mirror, roll from stomach to back, transfer objects from one hand to another, play with their toes, help hold the bottle during feeding time, recognize familiar faces, babble sounds like dadada or bababa, respond to their own name and enjoy playing and singing games.

By 12 months your child should get into a sitting position, pull to a standing position, crawl on hands and knees, drink from a cup, enjoy peek-a-boo and patty cake; turn head when spoken to, show interest in other children, hol out arms and legs while being dressed, put objects into a container, have a 5 to 6 word vocabulary, imitate people and gestures like bye,bye, respond to "no".

By 18 months your child should like to push, pull or dump things, follow simple directions like "bring the ball", pull of shoes, socks and mittens, look at pictures, point with finger to show or ask for something, feed themselves, make marks on paper with crayons, use 8 to 10 words they understand, understand what others say, walk without help, begin to play make-believe.


By 2 years your child should be able to use 2 or 3 word sentences, recognize familiar picture, carry an object while walking, feed self with spoon, play alone, pretend to talk on the phone or feed a doll, turn 2 or 3 pages at a time, look at things others point to, identify hair, eyes, ears and nose, build a tower of blocks, gives hugs or kisses, become excited to be around other children.

By 3 years old your child should walk up steps with alternating feet, put on shoes, open door by twisting know, turn one page at a time, play with others, seek attention, repeat common rhymes, use 3 to 5 work sentences, name at lease one color, use the toilet, express affection openly, express a wide range of emotions and take turns in games.

By 5 years old your child should know their name, address, phone number, age, parents names, siblings names, how to use money when making purchases, understand a check or credit card is money, know their basic colors, know how to use scissors, paste, etc., know how to tell the time, understand about talking to strangers, how to watch for cars when going across the street and obeying signs at crosswalks, know the basic nursery rhymes, how to lose and win at a game, how to bounce a ball and how to count to ten.

Children should be taught how to work by learning basic skills of making their bed, emptying the garbage, feeding an animal, loading and unloading the dishwasher, setting the table, clearing the table, picking up toys, dusting, etc. Children are happy when they are learning everyday skills.

Parents have a responsibility to nuture their children and prepare them to be responsible adults. The more we teach our children to be self-sufficient when they are young the more independent they will be when they are an adult.

Many children in today's world spend too much time in front of the TV or Video Games being intertained instead of being taught life skills that prepare them for the future. Emotional, Physical, Social and Intellectual needs should be balanced in our everyday life. A child who is physical may be lacking in social skills. A very intellectual child may be lacking in physical needs. We are all different and need nutured in different ways.
