The ability to climb legs, crouch, move, holding the wall or mother's hand. Many children by the year can already stamp independently, others will need some more time.
Overcome obstacles, climbing on all fours up the stairs, climbing onto the sofa.
Add a pyramid, build a tower of cubes, collect toys in a box.
Imitate adults, rock and feed a doll, "read" a newspaper, scold someone by wagging a finger at them.
Show curiosity to various subjects. The kid opens the doors of the lockers, removes and puts the lids on the pots, opens the drawers.
She tries to eat with a spoon, can drink from a cup, bite and chew food, learns to use a pot.

During this period the child becomes more and moreindependent. There is no need to overprotect him, pick him up unnecessarily and transfer him to the sofa or sandbox. Let him try to reach the intended goal himself. Insure him, support him a little. This way the baby will master new skills faster.

How a one-year-old child can communicate and express his emotions

У подросшего малыша появилось больше opportunities, it is no longer enough for him to play with objects. Now the child is able to pronounce individual words quite consciously, supplement them with gestures, express emotions. Some mothers make a dictionary of first words, understanding the desires of their child. But the list of what a one-year-old child can do to express his desires is already quite wide:

His emotions can be identified by facial expressions and sounds, and not just by crying.
He learns to express his feelings by hugging his parents, rejoicing at his mom's arrival, feeling upset if a stranger addresses him.
The baby understands simple requests, determines the mood of the mother by the expression of her face, responds to her name.
Word vocabulary per year ranges from 2 to 10.

During this time, it is important to constantly communicate with the child,look at pictures with him and clearly name the objects on them, ask the baby to show them. New impressions, additional information, frequent walks accelerate the child's development. If your baby has not yet learned to perform standard actions for a one-year-old, this is not a reason to panic. Try to pay more attention to him, do not force him to do anything, consult a pediatrician. Many children, slightly lagging behind in acquiring skills before the age of one, later develop faster than their peers.
