They are increasingly feeling the surrounding atmosphere and their own body, and the limited mobility and inability to grasp everything that the child sees around, causes vexation, tears, scandals. Nevertheless, the child becomes more and more sociable, the spectrum of his reaction to stimuli is being replenished. What should be the development of the child after 6 months, find out in the article on "Development of the child after 6 months."
Physical development
At first the child moves crawling, the next stage of development is movement on all fours. Gradually the child begins to control the movements of the head more and more confidently. The child sits alone or with a little support. He grasps the cheeks, ears, glasses of the man who holds it in his arms. Sleeps at night 8-10 hours.
Mental and mental development
The child looks closely at all the objects he is playing with. Exact motions choose exactly the object that interested him. A change of mood usually indicates an attachment or dislike to someone present. Continues to pronounce syllables and gukaet in the process of communication. It reveals that he has a voice, and has fun, listening to him.
Sensory motor development
Holding the object in one hand, the child can grab another object with his free hand and at the same time pay attention to the third. Music calms him, distracts him from crying. The child plays with edible objects (slices of food), enthusiastically takes them by hand. He twists and turns objects, moving his hands in his wrists. Usually these movements are rather sharp. The child likes to play and communicate with others, but not with everyone; he is suspicious of strangers. He demonstrates his feelings (joy, discontent) with the help of babbling and gurgling sounds. The child smiles at his reflection in the mirror and plays with it.
Development of a child at 7 months of age
If a child needs a bottle to fall asleep, it should be filled with water. Water does not cause caries. Caries creates serious discomfort, hurts and requires emergency action. Teeth of the child should be protected before they appear. Gently clean the gums once a day with a soft clean gauze. Begin to teach the child to drink from a glass or a cup. He will be accustomed to using utensils and will eventually disaccustom from the bottle, because of which the teeth will deteriorate. Caress the child before going to bed, give him more attention. You can offer the child to hug a soft toy to calm down and peacefully fall asleep. By the age of 7 months, many children are already crawling and exploring the world themselves. They are constantly in motion, do not sit still, so the risk of accidents increases. Children should be constantly looked after and taught to discipline, gradually explaining what can and can not be done. At 7 months begins an important period in speech development and an understanding of the meaning of certain words and gestures. Another milestone in development is the appearance of the first tooth, because of which the child can become irritable and nervous.

Demonstrates the location of familiar people: kisses, hugs, caresses. He prefers to be picked up by those who like him. At this age, the child can change some habits, for example, associated with food and sleep. Perhaps he will want to eat on his own, and when the first teeth are cut, he will lose his appetite, refuse to eat with an unusual consistency and taste. As a rule, children under the age of 14-15 months need 2 hours of daytime sleep each day. The child's movements become more confident and quick, his ability to move improves.

By the age of 11 months, the child can already confidently stand upright and can make several steps without the help of an adult, without for anything holding on. But while he prefers to move crawling. He quickly climbs onto the chairs and beds and descends from them, but still often falls. At this age, all children imitate postures, gestures and sounds. Perceptiveness and perception develop with astonishing rapidity, the arsenal of ways of self-expression is replenished not only in connection with the desires and needs of the child, but also as a result of the distinction between objects and people. At the same time, speech skills also continue to improve. The 11-month-old child is a notorious provocateur, demonstratively violating the prohibitions and denying everything and everything: these traits are characteristic of most children.

He is able to imitate the mewing of a cat, points to the sky when he hears the noise of an airplane. With noticeable ease, he imitates the speech and expressions of those around him, even when he does not understand the meaning. This is a very important stage of growth: a child who was only recently helpless and weak, gradually becomes independent and acquires its tastes, although in many respects still depends on the parents. He knows how to distinguish between good and bad, his consciousness awakens, but behavior is often unpredictable. At the age of over a year the child will act more consciously, begin to think and inform others about what he thinks.
