Movement is more than just play, it’s how children explore, learn, and connect with the world around them. From crawling and climbing to reaching and grasping, every motion helps build coordination, strength, and confidence.

When movement is challenging, it can affect daily routines, communication, and participation in activities. That’s where pediatric therapy comes in, supporting growth through guided, purposeful movement.

🖐️ Fine Motor Struggles – Challenges with grasping objects, using utensils, or manipulating toys.

😞 Sensory Sensitivities – Overwhelmed by certain textures, sounds, or movement, or seeming disconnected from their environment.
🧸 Play & Social Skills – Trouble engaging with others, limited pretend play, or difficulty with transitions.

🎉 Happy Friday from Pediatric Therapy! 🎉

As the week winds down, it’s a great time to check in, especially after days filled with playdates, routines, or holiday bustle. Even everyday activities like lifting littles, decorating, or running errands can add extra strain to the body.

Gentle stretches, movement breaks, or posture resets can go a long way in supporting comfort and energy as the weekend begins. Small, consistent actions can make a meaningful difference over time, especially for growing bodies and busy caregivers.

12-Month Milestones: What to Watch For ✨🧠

As little ones approach their first birthday, exciting developmental milestones often begin to emerge! Here are three key areas commonly observed in many 12-month-olds:

👣 First Steps
Many children begin to take their first wobbly steps around this age. These initial movements help build confidence and coordination, marking the start of greater independence in mobility.

🧍 Standing Solo
Standing without support, even briefly, shows developing strength and balance. This skill lays the foundation for walking and gives caregivers a glimpse into the child’s growing stability.

🎨 Playful Learning
Through play, children at this stage start to explore cause and effect, imitate actions, and express curiosity. Whether stacking blocks or flipping pages, these playful moments are key to cognitive and motor development.

At Pediatric Therapy Physical & Occupational, our team supports families through every stage of growth, offering tools and guidance that empower development in a nurturing, play-based environment. 💚

By 10 to 11 months, many little ones are finding new ways to move, explore, and interact with their surroundings. From clapping during playtime to bouncing with excitement, this stage is full of movement and discovery.

🧍♂️ Mobility milestones expand: It’s common to see babies sitting confidently, cruising along furniture, or even taking early steps. These movements help build strength, balance, and coordination.

👐 Fine motor fun: Many can pick up small snacks with a pincer grasp and may start feeding themselves with fingers, exploring textures and tastes along the way.

💬 Communication takes shape: Gestures like clapping, pointing, or waving help support early expression. Some begin to understand simple directions or respond to familiar routines.

❤️ Emotional awareness grows: Many little ones show stronger attachments, enjoy games like peek-a-boo, and respond to the emotions of those around them.

Each milestone reflects how movement, communication, and connection are developing together.

Between 8 and 9 months, many little ones are busy exploring, moving, and interacting in new ways. This stage often brings a blend of motor, sensory, and social growth that sets the foundation for more complex skills ahead.

🧠 Cognitive curiosity grows: It’s common to see little ones search for hidden objects and enjoy cause-and-effect play—like dropping toys and watching what happens.

💬 Early communication builds: Babbles begin to carry tone and rhythm, and many babies start to respond to familiar words or gestures, like waving or reaching.

🧍 Movement milestones expand: From crawling, to pulling, to standing, and picking up objects with tiny fingers, many are gaining strength and coordination each day.

❤️ Emotional awareness deepens: This age may bring stranger caution, strong caregiver attachment, and clear emotional expressions—smiles, giggles, and sometimes protests.

Every child moves through these stages in their own way, and noticing these shifts can offer insight into development.

By around 7 months, many little ones are developing a range of new skills that reflect growth in motor control, sensory processing, and communication.

🧍♂️ Motor Milestones: It’s common to see babies begin sitting without support, rolling in both directions, and pushing up with more control. Some may bounce while being held upright and begin transferring toys between hands—signs of growing coordination and strength.

👀 Sensory & Cognitive Growth: Exploration is big at this stage. Many infants are reaching for objects, bringing them to their mouths, and tracking movement with more precision. Early signs of object permanence may emerge as they begin to notice when things disappear and reappear.

💬 Communication Foundations: Babbling becomes more rhythmic—think “ba-ba” or “da-da.” Many babies respond to their name and are attuned to changes in voice tone, reacting to excitement or calm with interest.

🤝 Social & Emotional Milestones: There’s often a stronger awareness of familiar faces and voices, along with increased engagement during play. Many begin showing preference for caregivers and may express hesitation around new people.

Every child develops at their own pace—but understanding these patterns can support early awareness and confidence.

At 6 months, little ones are discovering the world in exciting new ways—reaching for toys, exploring with their hands and mouths, sitting with support, and beginning to roll with more ease. Some even start dabbling in independent feeding!

By five months, many infants begin to show exciting progress in physical development and sensory exploration. This stage is often marked by noticeable gains in strength, coordination, and curiosity. These early changes help lay the foundation for future milestones - setting the stage for more active engagement with the world around them.💫

🧠 Evolving Head Control – Improved head stability often means more confidence during tummy time and play.

👐 Interactive Play – Hands and feet may become more engaged with toys or nearby objects, a key step in refining early motor patterns.

🎯 Reaching & Grasping – Movements start to look more intentional as reaching and grasping skills emerge, supporting fine motor development.

🪑 Sitting with Support – Some may begin to sit for short periods while using arms or cushions for balance.

Pediatric therapy services are designed to support developmental stages just like these, through play-based strategies that encourage motor skill progression and sensory integration.
