This age range is especially critical; any action that the parent takes on behalf of the child, thinking that the child cannot do it or with concerns about being a better mother, will damage his sense of entrepreneurship. He will become dependent on the mother. .
As of the age of 5;
He can fully dress himself, including buttoning up his buttons.
He can draw a human picture (A picture with the head, body and legs is considered sufficient)
It can stand on one leg (both right and left) for about 6-7 seconds without holding on to anything.
Generally, children who have developed normally until the age of 1 and completed their developmental tasks on time do not develop developmental delays later.
It is frequently encountered between 6 months and 5 years of age and may disrupt development; In external situations, the permanent effect of febrile/afebrile convulsion;
If children are left inexperienced by their parents, development may be considered as delayed. This is a case of false delay. It would be an appropriate attitude for the parent to give his child the opportunity to experience experiences by getting rid of his own concerns, not to do it on behalf of the child in order to approach the normal development level, but to give him the opportunity to experience himself with enough support and to ensure that the child feels the feeling of success.
If, despite your appropriate attitudes, your child's development is not as described above If it differs from general world norms, it is of great importance to have your child's development evaluated and followed up without delay in terms of early diagnosis and early intervention.
