By The End of 1 Year (12 months)

Today, I will be sharing some important milestones I have read from articles on the internet.

There are developments in a certain age of a child and it is good to know these things as a mom so we could see our child’s performance. And if the child is not doing well, we could somehow help him to improve.

I am very glad to share that my son already mastered and accomplished all the things listed below even before he reached 1 year old. Do not worry if your child did not master everything yet. Always remember that each baby has his own pace and we cannot force him to do it just then. The main role of a mother is to guide the child and not force him.

This is just an additional information for those who have babies of months old - 1 year.  For two years old, I will be posting in a couple of days.

(NOTE: Things written below did not come from me and I do not own the copyright to whatever is there. I just copied this so I could share this to all moms and newbie moms out there. )

Enjoy!
