Infant development usually refers to 5 main areas of development: gross motor (large body movements such as walking), fine motor (small body movements such as using your hands), speech and language, cognitive (ability to learn and decipher information), and social-emotional development.
A child's development can depend in part on their early life experiences. You are your child's first and most important teacher!
