The Help Me Grow team can help with your child ’ s development
Below you will find a list of various skills children should be doing at certain ages . The Help Me Grow home-visiting team utilizes a developmental screening called the Ages and Stages Questionnaire . This screening looks at five different areas of development at specific ages . The home visitors then share activities from the curriculum called Growing Great Kids with parents to help promote growth and learning in children .
If the screening is showing a delay in a certain area , they will refer to the early intervention program . Early intervention can dive deeper into that specific area of concern and provide support to the family . The earlier the support , the better .
At 2 months : begin to smile at people , bring hands to mouth and suck on hand , make cooing sounds , turn head toward sound , begin to follow things with eyes and recognize people at a distance , and hold head up and begin to push around when on tummy .
At 4 months : watch faces closely ; copy some facial expressions ; begin to babble and copy sounds ; cry in different ways to indicate if hungry , hurting or tired ; respond to affection ; reach for a toy with one hand ; follow moving things with eyes ; push up to elbows when on belly ; and maybe roll from tummy to back .
At 6 months : know if faces are familiar or strange , respond to emotions , like to look at self in mirror , respond to their name , string vowels together and begin to say consonant sounds when babbling , show curiosity and motivation to get things that are out of reach , roll over in both directions , begin to sit without support , and pass things from hand to hand .
At 1 year : have favorite things and people , cry when mom or dad leaves and be nervous with strangers , repeat sounds or actions for attention , put out arm or leg to help with dressing , play games like peek-a-boo
or pat-a-cake , hand you a book to hear a story , try to say words you say , use simple gestures like shaking head no or waving goodbye , find hidden things easily , start to use things correctly ( brush hair , drink from cup ), put things into or take out of a container , follow simple directions like “ pick up the toy ,” and may stand alone or take steps without holding on .
If you find your child is not doing the tasks mentioned above , call Help Me Grow at 740-732-1775 or visit www . helpmegrow . org to learn more .
