So the long-awaited moment has come: your baby celebrated his first birthday. This year was filled with excitement, anxiety and unforgettable moments of happiness. How pleasing to parents the skills acquired by the baby! Nevertheless, every attentive and caring mother to this boundary asks herself questions: “What does a child do in a year? Is anything important missing? ”
Do not worry if your child’s indicators do not correspond to the list below by 100% (these are average data). Perhaps your baby will be slightly behind or vice versa ahead of this list of norms. The skills and abilities of a child at the age of one year depend on many factors, including the characteristics of character, heredity and how much close relatives give him much attention.
Engage with the baby - soon he will succeed. Children whom they strove to develop from birth are often ahead of average, which is a special pride for parents.

- Crawling up and down stairs;
- Walking stairs with an additional step with the support of an adult;

The emotional and social development of a child aged 1 year should correspond to the following indicators:

- Knows and responds to his name.
By the age of one, a baby should master the simplest household skills:
- Bite and chew slices of bread, crackers, cookies;
- Drink on their own from a bottle, a drinker, some babies drink from a mug, holding it with their hands (When they start drinking from a mug);
- Make the first attempts to eat with a spoon (some children cleverly prick pieces of soft food on a fork, but more often babies take food with their hands);
- Pull the handles under the faucet for washing, wipe your face and hands with a towel;
- When dressing, some babies help themselves to dress: they stretch the handle into the sleeve, insert the leg into the shoes, but many do not like this process and express their displeasure with a squeak (scream);
- Signal with characteristic sounds that the pants are wet or dirty (if the baby is not wearing a diaper most of the day), sometimes it happens that babies at this age already begin ask for a pot.
In general, dear mothers, evaluating the development of a child per year, remember: all children are different, with unique character traits, individual characteristics and differ both in physical data and in intellectual abilities. And everyone develops according to his schedule 😉

Thank you for the article. I think it can be used as a “start-up”, a little in advance until the age of 1 year has come, and try to develop in a kid those skills that he has not yet mastered or does not work out well.
The main thing here is that the parents do not pursue the performance of their child, wanting to prove to themselves and those around him that they are exceptional. After all, we all consider our child more unique than everyone else? It can only do harm. The main thing is that the child should spend time with you with interest ...
We are now 9 months old, we already know a lot. How do you want to quickly learn other skills from the article. Now I can’t believe that he will be able to do all this - he will comb his hair, wash himself, speak his words!
My son missed the “crawl stage”, but also went really relatively early - at 10 months. And so, everything that is described here - we can. The only thing is that not everything is so good with speech. Except ma-ma-ma, and pa-pa-pa - only mooing. But the kids are really all different! And everyone develops according to their individual “schedule” :)
This is such an interesting age. My daughter is now actively interested in everything that is happening around her, so I need to constantly monitor when she is awake, she should not be left alone for even a minute. It's time to think about the safety of the children's room.
He will try to speak (but so far only “mother” is more or less meaningful). We do not add the pyramid and cubes yet.
My son knew almost all of this in a year. Only difficulties were holding a bottle and eating with a spoon. Lazy, used to being fed always! Well, I haven’t yet gone to the pot myself, it was difficult to accustom.
Right now, especially impressionable parents will read the article, see that the child doesn’t know everything and will begin to “develop” it intensively. And in vain. This is when at the age of 5-6 the child lags behind in development, it is necessary to “sound the alarm”, and in a year it is too early to draw conclusions.
My daughter didn’t go a year yet, but she just got up and a half and went. At first they were worried about not walking, but crawling actively, hoping that everything would work out and really, everything was resolved.
You listen to your parents, so many people have "nano-genesis." Only for some reason, their genius disappears when they grow up, replenish the detachment of cattle teenagers.
Ilya wrote about himself ...
I completely agree with Ilya. I’m saying to my husband myself: all the mothers brag about the skills of their children, then at seven months they already speak with might and main, then at ten they know all the animals on earth) really, then where do all these unique things go?)) They die out, not otherwise
my son has been almost a year old, he also knows a lot
Do your children know how to kick, break, tear books, pluck toys from the Christmas tree, scatter food? Our hooligan knows everything!
well, reject and our girl will be your nightmare
I didn’t understand why this video was in the article. Child's skills it does not show.
My son is almost a year old and almost half of this we do not know how. Goes to the pot with a cry, then he climbs himself. It's hard with toys, basically we chew and throw everything. From the sounds we say only: “Mom, Dad, Dada, Woman” and that’s all. Do not walk, lazy, manual at all.
All children are different, and for these indicators there is nothing to strive for .......
Thank you for the article! I’ve read it and thought it over now, my little son knows how to do it! We’re 11 months old, don’t walk, with support, yes! Show animals or, at the request, give toys, no, we don’t know how to dance for that and sing in your own way, don’t feed this bread! And by the way about food, he eats only with my help and there is no desire to take something in the pen and chew ((But they wrote correctly above, all the children are different and everyone develops in my own way, for example, I waited for teeth at 5, then at 6, and so I thought, well, why did my child have no teeth? At 9 months, 4 teeth climbed right away, now we have 7!) on the 20th day of life, and then with the help of a pediatrician, she unscrewed it! In general, at each stage of life, something new, and every time very scary, and suddenly, but you never know 🤔) Learn everything in due time!) Someone earlier, someone later!) Do not try to be better than others, the most important thing is that the baby is Healthy !!! Health to you and Your Kids !!!!
