may even become quite talkative. They will sing and play with other children,
but still may be shy around strangers. They are also learning how to follow rules.

Each activity your child is doing is typical of their age.
If your child isn’t doing all of the activities, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Children can vary by as much as six months in some of the things that they are able to do. If you do have questions about your child’s development, you can call the CONNECT Helpline, a program of the State of Pennsylvania.
