If you have a one-year-old child, you are well aware of how active they are at this age. Your child’s developing life will undoubtedly be filled with activities that entail discovery and learning on a daily basis. Are you still unsure what constitutes normal and deviant behaviour in children of this age? 

Continue reading to learn how a 1-year-development old’s is typical.

Growth

By the 12th month, your kid has grown by 50% or 9 to 11 inches, and their brain has grown to roughly 60% of adult size. As your baby’s activity level rises, his weight gain will begin to decline after an extraordinary one-year growth spurt.

Sleeping habits

Your infant will inevitably receive less sleep during the day and more sleep at night by the age of one. A substantial number of youngsters this age still require daytime sleep, however, the duration may be different than in the past. Due to exhaustion, they may prefer to conduct activities during the day and sleep longer at night.

 Social interaction and development

While you may notice that at this age your child becomes warier of unfamiliar individuals, you will also notice his or her incredible desire to interact with others, especially their siblings and caregivers. Your child will most likely be excited to see other children. In general,1-year-olds prefer to play next to other children, rather than playing together. However, there are occasions when kids begin to play with other children after becoming more comfortable with strangers.

Babies are normally more social by the age of one. They begin to comprehend what is being said to them and will begin to employ their linguistic abilities to attract the attention of others around them. By the 12th month, your baby will start to push your boundaries, such as starting to say “no” to your demands or fidgeting excessively. As a result, be firm and remind your youngster that such behaviour will not be tolerated. Meanwhile, if they are behaving well, respond positively by praising or rewarding them.

Cognitive development

At this age, you will most likely observe some significant changes in your child’s cognitive development. Your youngster may be able to recognise named objects, such as cats or dogs, between the ages of 12 and 24 months. Between the ages of 12 to 24 months, your child may be able to recognize named items, such as cats or dogs.

They’ll be able to play the game and they’ll be better at following your instructions.

Let’s look into the details of the aspects listed below. 

– Conversation and language

By the end of your baby’s first year, your kid is likely to rely on nonverbal communication strategies, like pointing, gesturing or throwing objects to convey feelings or communicate with you.

However, you can separate babble sounds like “da”, “ba”, “ga” and “ma.” from the babble and screaming of a baby’s early speaking. Your child will gradually integrate these simple syllables into identifiable words, allowing him or her to comprehend more of what you say.

Furthermore, kids will most likely be able to pronounce short sentences with two up to four words and point to simple items when you mention them, such as balls, cars and more.

– Play

Play activities are critical for your child’s growth at this age. Your child’s enhanced agility will make them want to investigate adjacent objects.

Children this age like rocking or banging a musical instrument, as well as playing with toys that include levers, wheels, or other moving parts. When your child is pulling down the towers you made with them, block toys are generally a good solution. It is not so dangerous as it only has regular shapes but keep an eye on them while they are playing.

Other toy alternatives for 1-year-olds include push-pull toys, which are also a lot of fun.  As your child begins to explore new motor abilities, look for firm objects that will assist them in maintaining their balance.

– Emotional state

Your one-year-old will try to be independent in a variety of ways. They may insist on trying on their clothes and putting new physical talents to the test. But, at the same time, they also tend to be very spoiled and ask you to take care of them when feeling tired, scared or lonely. However, they tend to be spoiled and will beg you to look after them when they are weary, worried, or lonely

Movement development

Now that your baby can walk, it’s time to think about getting them their first shoes. While you may be tempted to get shoes because they are attractive and cute, the most crucial consideration for a pair of baby shoes is comfort and fit Make sure you purchase them from a baby store and have the salesperson measure your baby’s feet. Also, be sure that the shoes have enough room for your developing baby’s feet. As a result, it should be neither too tight nor too loose. Because your baby’s feet will continue to expand in the next two or three months, you may need to go shopping again.

Nutrition

You can go from breast milk or formula milk to cow’s milk at the age of one.. Begin with a large glass of milk. Extra fat is required for your baby’s brain development and growth. So, until your infant is two, avoid changing ordinary milk for low-fat milk or other low-fat items  Seek the advice of a baby paediatrician on this, as each baby’s needs may vary.

If you are breastfeeding, you may decide to stop when your child reaches the age of one year. It makes it simpler for both mother and baby to gradually quit direct nursing, even if it takes some time. Breastfeeding at night is frequently the most difficult. At this age, you can give your child a cup of milk, a snack, or something to drink to replace regular breastfeeding.

Your baby will eat more food now, so keep an eye on them to make sure don’t choke. Avoid giving him entire grapes, ‘hot dogs’, ‘popcorn’, or other foods that may get stuck in his throat. Always keep a watchful eye on the infant while they are eating. You can also now feed foods that contain honey. Eggs and peanut butter in small amounts are also acceptable.

What you can do to aid your child’s growth

·         Read a story or anything to your child every day.

·         Ask your baby to find objects for you or name parts of objects and bodies.

·         Play games that suit your toddlers, such as arranging shapes and simple puzzles.

·         Encourage him to explore and try new things.

·         Help your child’s language development by talking to him or her and adding the words that are started.

·         Encourage your child’s independence by letting him help when dressing and feeding himself.

·         Give a positive response to good behavior more than punishment for bad behavior. Always tell or show your child the right things to do.

·         Encourage your toddler’s curiosity and ability to recognize objects by taking a field trip to the park or taking a bus.

Signs of developmental issues (Things to watch out for)

Although all babies develop at different rates, you should consult your doctor if your kid does not reach a certain milestone or if you notice any signs of a developmental delay.

Talk to your doctor if your child:

·         Can’t walk.

·         Not pointing to show something.

·         Loss of previously possessed skills.

·         Do not imitate the actions or conversations of others.

·         Cannot say at least six words.

·         Didn’t acquire new words.

·         Not realizing or reacting when you or someone else leaves.
