An understanding of typical growth and development, including awareness of developmental milestones, will help families and educators collaborate to promote healthy development in young children in cognitive, social and emotional, physical, and language domains.

Create a 2-3 page digital pamphlet/brochure to be emailed to families introducing developmental milestones for the following age ranges:

Birth-12 months (Infants)

1-3 years (Toddlers)

3-5 years (Preschoolers)

6-8 years (Grade School/Middle Childhood)

Include the following in your digital pamphlet/brochure:

Briefly define developmental milestones, including the domains of cognitive, social and emotional, physical, and language development.

For each of the four age ranges, describe a typical developmental milestone for each domain (cognitive, social and emotional, physical, language).

For each of the four age ranges, provide an online resource for families to aid them in fostering their children's growth and development in the home, including a brief summary of activities and their developmental benefits.

Describe 3-4 local community resources (e.g., First Things First, YMCA classes) that families can access to support the growth and development of their children.  

Support your pamphlet/brochure with 2-3 scholarly resources.

Include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and uses space appropriately.
