Introduction to Infant Development
In the critical stage of infant development (12 months to 18 months), babies begin exploring their world through sensory experiences. This stage is vital for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. At this age, trust-building with caregivers is essential for a strong foundation in learning.
Course Highlights:
📍 Sensory Activities for Infants
Infants learn by exploring different textures, sounds, and visuals around them. Sensory activities at this stage are crucial in stimulating cognitive development and improving their understanding of the world.
📍 Building Beginner Literacy and Language Skills
Reading to your infant, singing, and interacting through simple language games help introduce the world of literacy. Early literacy experiences support language development, listening skills, and vocabulary growth.
📍 Developing Fine Motor Skills: Pincer Grip
Encourage your infant to use utensils and play with small objects to develop their fine motor skills. The pincer grip (using thumb and forefinger) is an important milestone for infants, allowing them to gain independence in feeding and exploration.
📍 Outdoor Play for Gross Motor Development
Infants begin to develop their gross motor skills through activities like walking with assistance, crawling, and playing with push toys. Outdoor play is a vital part of strengthening muscles, improving coordination, and promoting physical activity.
📍 Safe and Stimulating Environment
Creating a safe environment for infants is crucial. A well-organized, child-proofed space provides opportunities for independent exploration while ensuring their safety. Providing stimulating objects and spaces encourages curiosity and learning.
