AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -By 3-4 months of age, a baby recognises the parents, and the vision keeps improving with each passing month. If you notice that your baby is not recognising people and places by 4 months of age, you may want to mention it to your paediatrician.

Detailed explanation-2: -5 to 8 Months “Around 6 months, they will probably recognize family members they see and interact with once a week. If they see members of your family or friends infrequently, it can take them longer to recognize these individuals.” Around 6 months, your baby will also start to recognize and respond to their own name.

Detailed explanation-3: -The period that a baby uses to select a primary attachment figure stretches from 2 to over 12 months, with most infants making up their minds in the period between 3 and 7 months. The baby will focus on the person who is most often there for them when needed and who most often gets it right.

Detailed explanation-4: -By 4 to 6 months, they will turn to you and expect you to respond when upset. By 7 or 8 months, they will have a special response just for you (they may also be upset by strangers). Your baby may also start to respond to your stress, anger or sadness.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your baby might show strong attachment to you and other close family members or carers, but they’re still a little afraid of new faces. This might show up as separation anxiety and fear of strangers, which are typical parts of children’s development around this age.
