CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At six months or seven months your baby will turn quickly to a familiar voice from across the room, and turn to the source of sounds on either side (Sharma et al 2022).

Detailed explanation-2: -Between about one and three months of age, your baby will reach some fun hearing and speech milestones. These include smiling at the sounds of your voices and turning their head toward the direction of sound. They’ll also begin to babble and imitate some sounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cooing – This is the baby’s first sound production besides crying, usually occurring between six to eight weeks of age. Laughing – Usually at around 16 weeks, your baby will laugh in response to things in their world.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your newborn has been hearing sounds since way back in the womb. Mother’s heartbeat, the gurgles of her digestive system, and even the sounds of her voice and the voices of other family members are part of a baby’s world before birth. Once your baby is born, the sounds of the outside world come in loud and clear.

Detailed explanation-5: -Newborns can localize sound accurately to their right and left sides. Eye movement or a slow head turn in the direction of the sound source can be observed if your newborn is awake, alert and quiet. Between 1 month and 4 months of age, your baby may not exhibit the same type of head-turning or orienting behavior.
