Create a developmental milestones chart in the
child from birth to the second birthday. This chart should
discuss three milestones and environmental strategies to target these milestones in
each of the following domains from birth to two years of age keeping in mind that there
is overlap between many of the developmental domains:
physical and motor development- include fine and gross motor milestones,
and physical development milestones
social and emotional development
cognitive and language development
behavior: behavior overlaps in many of the developmental domains. You
should discuss typical behaviors of the child including temperament and
attachment, and how this can affect behavior. In addition, think about crying,
eating, sleeping, and play of the young child.
When creating your chart, you must include at least three developmental milestones for
each domain and three strategies that the adult can do to help that child reach the
milestone you are describing. For each developmental milestone, you will describe an
environmental strategy that an early childhood professional could use to address that
milestone.
Remember a milestone describes a skill the child can do or is learning
to do whereas a strategy describes the action an adult does to help the child
reach the milestone
.
To recap, EVERY box in your chart should contain 3 milestones and 3 strategies.
Milestone 1:
Strategy 1:
Milestone 2:
Strategy 2:
Milestone 3:
Strategy 3:
This will help make sure you have completed each box with 3 milestones and 3
strategies
.
Expected developmental milestones are based on the idea that children tend to follow
similar developmental patterns.
Must include a one-page discussion addressing the fact that individuals develop at varying rates and how biological and environmental factors influence development
. You should include specific examples of how both biological and environmental factors influence development. When doing this activity, keep in mind that current thinking about expected patterns of growth and development tells us that multiple biological and
environmental influences affect both the sequence and timing of motor skills.

At least 3 sources are required.
