Sharing buttons:
if you're joining us for the first time
welcome if you're returning welcome back
your baby is now 12 months old and today
we'll be exploring all of the wonderful
new skills your child has developed I'd
like to introduce you to McKinley
our 12 month old I'm McKinley her mother
and father and also Jade an occupational
therapist who will help demonstrate
McKinley's emerging developmental skills
by one year your child is more
independent in her motor skills she gets
in and out of sitting without help pulls
up with the help of stationary objects
in order to stand and may walk holding
onto furniture your child might even
stand without help and may take those
exciting first steps
your child's communication is also
improving and she has now responded to
simple requests like find your kidding
can you get it good job man yeah she
also uses gestures such as shaking her
head no or waving bye-bye you will
likely hear your child say mama or Dada
or exclamations like oh you get daddy's
nut she is trying to repeat words you
say and puts together sounds that mimic
your speech emotionally your child may
be shy around strangers and may cry if
you leave the room she probably has
favorite toys or clothes and may have a
preference for certain people at the
same time your child is becoming more
social she may hand you a book when she
wants to hear a story and engage in
social games like peekaboo or pattycake
toys no no thanks man when getting
dressed
she helps by putting out her arm or leg
your child is learning a lot about her
world and likes to explore objects by
shaking
banging throwing or poking them she
likes to put things in and take them out
of containers and may start to use
objects correctly like drinking from a
cup or using a brush to comb her hair as
you have seen your child has gained a
lot of skills over the last three months
so please join us again when we will
look at all the skills your child is
gained by 18 months remember if you have
any concerns about your child's
development please contact your primary
care provider or multi care Mary bridge
