An in-depth understanding of developmental milestones in infants and toddlers will help families and

educators collaborate to promote healthy cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language

development in young children.

For this assignment, you will create a digital handout for each of the ages listed (birth to 12 months; 13-

24 months; 25-36 months; and 37-48 months) that could be emailed to families. The handouts should be

professionally presented and visually appealing.

In each handout, you will explain developmental milestones children should achieve at each of the

following ages. The handouts must include:

 Description of cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language development characteristics and

needs of a child at that age

 Description of at least one milestone in each developmental area

 Explanation of the long-term importance of each milestone 

 Two strategies families can use to help their children with development
