Growing up, he will use his eyes to collect a great deal of information about the world around him, which will stimulate his brain development and lead to physical accomplishments such as sitting , turning , fours , and walking. #### How does baby begin to see well?  [source](https://goo.gl/images/CGxfSY) The sight of your toddler develops gradually, unlike your hearing , which is completely mature at the end of the first month. At birth, his vision is a little confused, although he can distinguish light, shapes and movements. His visual field is limited to 20 or even 30 centimeters, just enough to clearly distinguish the face of the person taking care of him. Which suits him because your face is what interests your child at his age, as well as very contrasting things like the black and white pawns of a chess game. Try to spend a lot of time eye to eye with him. https://youtu.be/T0rrS51ry2s ##### At 1 month At birth, your baby did not know how to control his eyes in a coordinated way, so that they sometimes went off in all directions. But at about 1 or 2 months, he can fix both his eyes to follow a moving object (it is possible that he has already managed to do so for brief periods since birth). A simple rattle that passes in front of his face will nail him on the spot. You can also play slowly moving near his face, one side then the other: often his eyes will focus on yours. ##### At 2 months Babies have seen colors since birth, but have difficulty distinguishing similar tones like red and orange. As a result, they often prefer black and white or high contrast colors. But between 2 and 4 months, they better distinguish between colors and especially between almost similar shades. Thus, it may show a preference for bright primary colors and more detailed and complicated shapes and patterns. Encourage him by showing him brightly colored pictures, photos, books, and toys. Over the next few months, he will also try to perfect his abilities to follow objects of the eyes. ##### At 4 months From now on, your child will develop his perception of reliefs and better understand the distance between objects and him. He will also better control his arms, which will allow him to catch objects, such as hair or earrings, with more precision. ##### At 5 months At this point, your child spots small objects and looks at things in motion. He can even recognize an object by seeing only part of it. This is the principle of the game of hide and seek that you can play with him over the next few months. Most 5-month-olds distinguish between bright colors. They will now focus on differentiating pastel shades. ##### At 8 months The sight of your baby, so far 2 / 10th at best, is now almost comparable to that of an adult in terms of sharpness and perception of relief. Although his near vision is always better than his view from afar, at 8months, he will be able to recognize people and objects in a room. At this age, his eyes will have acquired their almost definitive color, although you may still notice some slight changes thereafter. ### Understand words, behavior and concepts in children  [source](https://goo.gl/images/H8w3wR) Newborns are like tourists from a foreign country: they do not speak our language and do not understand what they are told. But they learn quickly, they are permanently awake. Studies have shown that babies begin to listen to their parents' voices during pregnancy. As soon as they are born, they settle on your way of speaking and try to decipher what you say. They also use their observation skills to learn more complicated things about the physical and emotional world such as love, trust, time, and cause-and-effect. #### At what age does a baby begin to understand words, behavior, and concepts? Decrypting what others say and do already begins before birth. At first, he will not know the meaning of the words you say, but he will detect your emotions (such as love, worry, anxiety and anger). ##### 2 to 3 months Your baby continues to absorb everything in his environment. He loves to watch what's going on around him. He knows now that you will calm him down, feed him, and play with him when he needs them. His first real smile comes at this time, for your pleasure. He understood that it was a way of letting you know he is happy. He also likes to see your reaction to his smiles. At three months, he'll add a few tweets, starting a kind of primitive conversation with you. ##### 4 to 7 months Your child knows his name and understands that you are calling him when you pronounce him. He will answer you by turning to you. He also gets used to better and better the tone of your voice. If you look happy, he will react happily and if you talk to him harder, he will certainly start crying. He also begins to differentiate between faces he knows or not. He may start crying if you put him in the arms of someone he is not familiar with. ##### 8 to 12 months Your child begins to understand simple orders. If you say "no" when he tries to touch a power outlet, for example, he will pause and look at you. He may even do "no" to the head in return. He also tests your reactions to his behavior. He'll throw food on the floor just to see what you're going to do and then record that answer in his memory. He will also try to throw his glass of water to see if you react in the same way. ##### 12 to 18 months At 18 months, your baby should be able to understand and use at least 50 words. He will be able to follow your orders even if they involve two separate actions, such as "pick up those cubes and put them in the toy box". ##### 19 to 23 months Your child begins to understand that his wishes may not match yours. He will try to assert himself by crossing his arms in a decided way when you want him to give you his hand https://youtu.be/FhqBuSXeKyw ##### 24 to 36 months Now your child understands his language. Development experts say that most 2-year-olds have at least 150 words and add ten more to their vocabulary every day or so. As the acquisition of language has become second nature to him, your child can now focus on more complicated concepts that involve his emotions. ##### Between 2 and 3 years old , your toddler will understand the basic principles of relationships: love and trust. He knows that his family is on his side and that she takes care of him. He learned these important concepts through the way you cared for him the early years of his life. The fact that you showed him affection, that you answered his needs and that you took care of him, made him become a solid and optimistic child. ##### References : - [Babies speech developmental milestone](https://www.google.com.ng/url?url=https://www.parenting.com/article/baby-speech-milestones&rct=j&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjfxa2U3M7aAhXCVhQKHUllBNUQFjANegQIBhAB&q=stages+of+when+a+baby+talks&usg=AOvVaw2rvN1mty2eTEprQbgWMG-6) - [sensory development](https://www.google.com.ng/url?url=https://www.babycenter.com/0_baby-sensory-development-sight_6508.bc&rct=j&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwisuNje3M7aAhUEWBQKHcqZAoQQFjAAegQIBxAB&q=Baby+stages+on+seeing+&usg=AOvVaw0XboUmIMllgINoU8aWtvz-) - [speech and language development](https://www.google.com.ng/url?url=https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/speech-and-language&rct=j&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwich-H63M7aAhVCxxQKHR5WCAEQFjAGegQIBxAB&q=baby+stages+talking&usg=AOvVaw2C-iU053z-NbqXIGwBC8wA)
