Introduction to the growth and development rules of children

The laws of children's growth and development are what parents want to know in detail, because only by knowing the laws of baby's growth and development can they know what to pay attention to at each stage of the baby's growth. Knowing the laws of baby's growth and development can reduce the blindness of parents in the baby's growth process. The following is a detailed introduction to the laws of children's growth and development. Interested parents can come in and take a look, learn more about the baby-related knowledge, and better help the baby during the baby's growth stage.

(1) Continuity and stages Growth and development is a continuous process, but the growth and development speed of children of different ages has stage characteristics. The weight and height increase rapidly during infancy, with the fastest growth in the first six months after birth, followed by the second six months. The speed then gradually slows down, and it grows steadily after one year old, and then suddenly accelerates during puberty.

(II) Imbalance in the development of organs of various systems. Each system develops at different speeds and in different orders of magnitude. For example, the nervous system develops earlier; the reproductive system develops later; and the lymphatic system develops rapidly at first and then shrinks.

(III) Sequence of Growth and Development The growth and development of each organ function in children follows a specific expected sequence:

① From top to bottom, the baby can lift his head more steadily at 3 months old, roll over at 4 months old, sit alone at 5 to 7 months old, crawl at 8 months old, stand at 9 to 10 months old, walk at 1 year old, and run and jump at around 2 years old.

② From near to far, such as first raising your shoulders and stretching your arms, then holding the object with both hands, and then picking up the object with your fingers.

③ From uncoordinated to coordinated. For example, when a baby is 3 to 4 months old, he can only move his hands and feet but cannot get the toy. But after 5 months, he can grab it with one hand.

④ First there is a positive action, then there is a reverse action. First learn to move forward, then learn to move backward. First you will grasp things, then you will put them down, etc.

(IV) Individual differences Although children's growth and development are predictable, there are significant individual differences within a certain range due to the influence of internal and external factors. For example, the variation in physical growth is very significant. When evaluating whether growth and development are normal, different factors affecting the individual must be considered, and continuous dynamic observations are required.

Through the article's detailed description of the laws of the baby's growth and development stages, I believe that parents will be more aware of the various stages of their baby's growth and development. They can also accurately know the period when the baby needs the most nutrition, reduce a lot of blind operations, and help the baby grow up quickly. I hope the content of this article can help parents who don’t understand the growth and development patterns of their babies.
