When Do Babies Show Happiness to See Parents or Toys

Child development stages are the theoretical milestones of child development, some of which are asserted in nativist theories. This article discusses the most widely accustomed developmental stages in children. There exists a wide variation in terms of what is considered "normal," caused past variation in genetic, cognitive, physical, family, cultural, nutritional, educational, and environmental factors. Many children attain some or most of these milestones at different times from the norm.^[one]

Holistic development sees the child in the round, as a whole person - physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, morally, culturally and spiritually. Learning nigh kid development involves studying patterns of growth and development, from which guidelines for 'normal' development are construed. Developmental norms are sometimes called milestones - they define the recognised pattern of development that children are expected to follow. Each child develops in a unique way; nonetheless, using norms helps in agreement these general patterns of evolution while recognising the wide variation between individuals.

One way to identify pervasive developmental disorders is if infants fail to see the evolution milestones in time or at all.^[2]
