Don’t Skip Stages!

Child development is an issue that requires a lot of attention, especially because it is represented in stages of vital importance to strengthen emotional ties and to guarantee the healthy growth of the child. Try to keep the fulfillment of the stages of your child’s growth and make sure that they do not skip any.

Many specialists have determined that the first stage of development, that is, the one that happens in the first months of life; It is the fundamental part for the baby to reach its full psychological, physical and emotional constitution. In this sense, it is advisable not to skip the stage corresponding to the first twelve months of life.

When talking about stages, we must consider that the promoter of this idea was the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget.  According to this expert, the structure that supports human thought is directly related to the social conditions in which a person develops from childhood.
In this sense, Piaget proposed that each cognitive capacity is typical of a certain age in the child.

Therefore, different problems and circumstances can be unevenly depending on their stage of development; To test it, he released the results of tests he did on children in age groups.

So, the changes that the baby experiences in a really short period, vary according to their size, weight and cognitive evolution. Do not skip the stage in which the child highlights his personality and begins the intellectual growth, it is a guarantee that the results are as desired or at least remarkable.

12-24 months

This non-consecutive period provides us with a lot of information about the child’s behavior, it is also the time for the personality traits to be consolidated. In the first twelve months, which for any adult could be almost imperceptible , the child goes from being a totally defenseless baby to becoming an independent being to express feelings and emotions.  In addition, he is able to oppose or express interest in various circumstances.
When 24 months have passed for the baby, its condition of being almost incomprehensible begins to gradually disappear. This allows you to be identified with a little person of defined qualities. This period of the first two years, progresses through different processes, which go through learning the basic elements of existence and coexistence, until they become the foundations of a next stage.
Consequently, each process of advancement, destined for the baby’s first birthday, needs to be completed and carefully observed. Prevent your child from advancing to other stages without having correctly completed the first one, so that in this way the integral being of the future is strengthened.

The Stages, Month by Month without Rest

To say that the first stage of child development is the most important does not imply that the others are not or are less significant.  This is especially due to the fact that babies change from day to day, which means that the care for each period is different.

Another aspect to consider in your baby’s month to month is that not all personalities are the same. This implies that even if the theory that reaches our senses is applied, many times it is necessary to improvise to ensure that stages in the integral development of the little ones are not skipped.

This situation is part of the main care that parents must have, because it is equivalent to the balance with which education is going to be carried out. For example, it is not necessary to rush the passage of a stage and it is not recommended that the advance be prolonged. Each baby responds at its own pace and has a different type of intelligence. If we are careful and observe with precision we can create a harmonic process.

Try to meet the needs of each period, this can be achieved by informing yourself well and, above all, following your heart. Learn to listen and understand your baby to provide the appropriate stimulus, but above this, remember that many times it is necessary to say no for the good of all.

As responsible mothers we must attend to the commitment to initiate a vital process for our families, since with each completed process, we get a little closer to laying the foundations of the man or woman we want to train to be a social, conscious, healthy and integral.
