One week and eight months baby development indicators and standards

Many parents want to fully understand the developmental indicators of a one year and eight month old baby. Because if the baby at this time develops according to relatively healthy standards, the child will rarely get sick. Therefore, many parents want to fully understand its indicators and standards so that their children can meet the developmental standards of a one year and eight month old baby in all aspects as soon as possible.

Physical Standards

Weight: 9.5-14.6 kg for boys; 9-13.8 kg for girls.

Height: 78.7-91.6 cm for boys; 77.4-90.2 cm for girls.

Teeth: 16 primary teeth emerge.

Physical Skill Development

The baby can seriously practice threading a string through beads with eyes, stick a piece of paper with glue on it to an object, and build seven or eight building blocks. When the baby can pick up very small objects on the ground and accurately pinch them with his thumb and index finger, it means that the baby's vision has greatly improved and he has the ability to pay attention to tiny objects.

The ability of balance develops in a coordinated manner, and students can squat, stand up, and bend over to pick up objects. Various abilities cooperate with each other and gradually learn complex movements. The baby can already turn the doorknob and open the door and walk out of the room by himself. If the door is closed again due to wind from the window, the baby may be injured. It is best to install safety protection facilities to prevent the baby's hands and feet from being squeezed. If the baby sees his mother unbolt a door, he will learn to do the same.

Emotional development

If a baby yells, loses his temper, or throws things in front of mom or dad, it does not mean that the baby has a personality problem. When a baby's language expression ability is lower than his actual thinking ability, the baby cannot use words to express his wishes and ideas, and will shout or even cry in a hurry. On the other hand, babies can also attract their parents' attention in this way. When encountering this situation, parents should not ignore it or scold the baby. Instead, they should squat down and communicate with the baby kindly to show their understanding of the baby.

Social skills

Starting from this month, the baby gradually likes playing games with other children. The baby still has a strong sense of "mine". Not only does he not let go of his own things, he also likes to "devour" other children's things. It doesn’t matter. Once you learn to “appropriate” children’s things, you will be close to sharing your own things with children. To cultivate good moral character in your baby, you must start by cultivating the baby's habit of sharing happiness. It is not a sign of bad behavior for a baby to "devour" other children's things. We should let the baby learn to share food, toys and happiness with other children.

Language development

At this age, babies learn vocabulary relatively quickly and can learn one new word every day on average. About 50% of babies can say 90 to 150 words, and most of the words they use are common words in daily life. Babies love to imitate the content and tone of their parents and caregivers' speech. Now my baby’s favorite word is “gone”.

By this age, about 30% of babies can speak in multi-word sentences. Although the sentences spoken by the baby are still very simple and many words are omitted, most of the sentences are easy to understand.

If mom and dad often tell stories to their baby, the baby may start telling stories to mom from now on. Most of the stories the baby tells are those told by his mother, but the baby will elaborate on some of the plots based on his own ideas. The baby will also replace the names of his favorite characters in the story with his own names and those of his parents.

Babies who can talk are no longer satisfied with just talking, but want to sing. At this time, babies often speak like they sing, and sing like they speak. Babies like to recite nursery rhymes. Nursery rhymes are catchy and can be sung like songs or spoken like talking. Babies can remember long lyrics with the help of the simple and beautiful melody of nursery rhymes. Babies may not fully understand the content of the nursery rhymes, but they can recite them word for word. The baby's interest is not in the content; what attracts him is the melody of the nursery rhymes and the time spent with his mother.

Cognitive status

A baby of this age not only has a strong ability to imitate, but can also combine what he sees, hears and feels, and create new content through his own integration.

The baby's memory improves, he begins to remember what happened, and can express his memory through association. For example, if mom and dad always take their baby to the zoo or amusement park on weekends, the baby will remember it and will go to the zoo or amusement park when mom and dad are not at work. If you don't go on a Sunday, your baby may express doubts.

The above content provides a detailed introduction to the developmental indicators and standards for babies aged one year and eight months. If parents want to fully understand the standards for the developmental indicators of babies aged one year and eight months, they must fully understand the above introduction. I believe that through the above introduction, you will be able to fully understand the developmental indicators and standards for babies aged one year and eight months.
