The facts about child development detailed in the article will help you reduce anxiety in the parenting process, thereby taking care of your child better and more scientifically.
No two children develop exactly the same way
Do you think that children's development always happens according to a common denominator? No. Each baby has its own development rate, and your baby can be faster or slower than your baby's brothers, sisters or peers. Doctors will set a limit of 9 months for each important baby's developmental milestone , such as having a baby walking at 10 months, but there are other children who have to wait until 19 months. Some babies give up this developmental milestone to move to another one, such as not turning over but still in time to know whether to crawl, or not to crawl and stand and walk. In most cases, mothers should not compare their baby with a neighbor or any other baby in order to produce futile anxiety.
Stimulate the senses is to stimulate the baby's brain
Giving your child many experiences related to the different senses will be very helpful for their development. Any activity, from smelling, tasting, touching, hearing, and seeing, motivates your baby's mind. So, read to your baby , play with your baby, let him taste many different flavors, take him to see the surrounding landscape to perfect his senses. Gestures of cuddling, caressing and love are also essential for babies to feel confident in their journey of discovery, and at the same time contribute to building emotional intelligence for them.

Hearing is the first to be perfected
The perfection of the senses occurs at different times. For example, when a baby is born, his / her vision is not sensitive and the baby can only see in close range. Hearing is the first to be perfected. Right from the womb, the baby can already hear sounds. Understanding this, you can create appropriate stimuli for your child's development, such as letting your child listen to music, sing a lullaby or talk to him from the very first days of his life.
Babies always squirm because they need to be exposed and explored
Every baby's clap, footstroke or head pick is to collect information about the surrounding environment, especially where the baby is lying. What babies collect through their senses will be processed by the brain, helping them get impressions and memories for later development.
Your baby's development goes from head, neck to limbs, so the bigger babies, the more skillful their hands and feet will be.
