Each child develops in their own unique way, however, certain critical needs and milestones are relevant to all. Courage has summarised these developmental stages as follows:
17 – 32 weeks in-utero: Growth & Care
0 – 12 months: Love & Routine
1 – 2 years: Personality, 1st Steps & Words
2 – 3 years toddler: Independence, Observing & Imitating (illustrated in the picture)
4 – 5 years: Planning & Making Friends
6 – 8 years: School, Projects & Problem Solving
9 – 11 years: Accomplishment & Friendship
12 – 18 years teenager: Puberty, Hormones & Early Adulthood
The Courage developmental charts are useful in helping to understand the child you are caring for or assisting, to meet their physical, mental, emotional and social needs. They will also help you to assess whether a child is experiencing any basic developmental or behavioural delays.
