Normal Developmental
Milestones
An emphasis on anticipatory guidance
Ana Malinow, MD
Why we should teach
parents about development
Parents who understand their child’s
developmental state, are more likely to
have appropriate expectations.
Having appropriate expectations makes for a
healthier relationship between parent and
child.
Healthier relationships facilitate
development.

Principles of development
Primitive Reflexes
“Locomotion”: Gross Motor
“Manipulation”: Fine Motor
“Cognitive”: Language and Social
Behavior and Personality
Principles of
Development
• A continuous process
• Sequence of development is the same, rate of
development varies
• Not parallel
• Related to CNS maturation
• Involuntary movements give way to voluntary
responses
• Occurs in cephalocaudal and proximal to distal
• Progresses from dependence to independence
Development Occurs in a
Cephalocaudal
Direction
Development begins
in utero
Age
Responses/Reflexes
8 ½ wks
tactile stimuli (reflex arc laid down)
12 wks
sucking
24 wks
sound
26 wks
rhythmic breathing movements/
controls body temperature
30 wks
pupilary light reflex
35 wks
grasp/spontaneous orientation to light
All primitive reflexes
develop during gestation
and disappear by the 3rd to
6th month after birth
Primitive reflexes
• Tonic labyrinthine reflex
• Asymmetric tonic neck reflex
• Positive support reflex
Declining intensity of
primitive reflexes and
increasing role of
definitive motor actions
Gross motor development
“Locomotion”
Locomotion begins with
head control

Behavior
-continued• Cognitive, gross and fine motor

• Illness, separation, feeding issues
• Birth order, family size
• Secondary attachments
• Environment
• Gender identification

•
Factors that influence behavior
Create behavior
Through adaptability and flexibility
Produce personality/social behavior

Other “Personality”
Landmarks
• 2-year old independence/dependence
• 3-year old master of impulse control,
sharing, wants to please, guilt
• 7-year old ability to see another’s point of
view
• Adolescence begins identity formation
(idealistic)
• Adulthood completion of identity
formation
Conclusion
•
•
•
•
•
Development is a continuous process
Sequence is always the same, rate varies
Development does not run parallel
Intimate relationship with CNS
Generalized activity gives way to voluntary
activity
• Cephalocaudal development
• Dependence to independence
