Early Childhood-is a time of tremendous physical,cognitive,socia-emotional and language development

Hey, I'm back again to write this new blog regarding the next stage of growth development of the infant.  So the term is Early Childhood, depicting the period of childhood growth from 1 to 3 years old.  Early Childhood is a time of tremendous physical, cognitive, social-emotional and language development.  During this period, the growth rate of body size is much slower than the infant stage.  Physiological function development is heading increasingly toward perfection.  20 Deciduous teeth will erupt throughout this stage, in which 10 will be found on the lower jaw and 10 in the upper.  The sequence and arrangement generally can be depicted as per the chart and diagram are shown below.

Deciduous Teeth

20 Deciduous teeth are in the following order:

  • Incisor       6th month onward
  • Canine       16th month onward
  • Molar         26th month onward

So there should be a break around 10 months in between different categories. 



10 Upper Deciduous Teeth


10 Lower Deciduous Teeth

Some toddlers can arrive at this milestone earlier and again the rest will catch up later.
At the same time, language, social-emotional, sensory-motor and cognitive activities continue to develop rapidly.
Weaning should start now at 1 year old progressively.  How much your baby eats at the beginning is less important than getting the baby used to the idea to eat.  Always start with some soft and easy to digest food items, since the change over is progressive, illness on indigestion issues like vomiting and diarrhoea can be avoided.
It's far easier to look out for indication by observing your baby when:

As toddler progress, more outdoor activities is expected.  Therefore the exposure to infection is greatly increased.  Disinfection and hand hygiene should be practised to avoid sickness like

Parental Care

Parental care to guide a toddler to differentiate and how to avoid accidental poisoning and burn is imperative.

 

best regards,
