28 Chapter 4 Conclusion

In this chapter we looked at:

  • Physical changes during the first two years
  • Some common infant reflexes
  • How fine and gross motor skills develop
  • Sensory capacities during the first two years
  • Health and safety for infants and toddlers
  • The sleep needs during the first two years and ways to reduce the risk of SIDS

In the next chapter we are going to be taking a closer look at theories that help us explain the cognitive and language development during infancy and toddlerhood.[1]
