Children often use a transitional object to self soothe in stressful or new situations. Often the transitional object is a blanket or stuffed animal. The attachment to these objects usually start at around eight or nine months. The attachments that children make with these objects are usually extremely important. Personally, I never had a transitional object but my son has a yellow blankie that he is strongly attached to. His great aunt made it for him before he was born and I began using it as a travel blanket at around six months.

In addition, at 3, 9, and 12 months of age, infant recognise the training object in a different context after all but the very longest test delays. Between 12 and 24 months of age, infants will also imitate an action that they saw in one context (e.g., the day-care center) when tested with the same object in a different context (e.g., laboratory) a few days later. Taken together, these findings reveal that infants can remember what they learn in one place if tested in another except after relatively long delays. Parents, educators, and public policy experts will be comforted to know that infants can transfer

Toddler Learning and Development Introduction Unlike adolescents and adults, growth and development is different in infants and toddlers. Observations from the physical, cognitive and perceptual development show that toddlers and infants grow and develop at a faster rate than adults. The physical, cognitive and motor development in infants and toddlers is higher than the same development in adults. This paper is an analysis and interpretation of an observation conducted with an aim to understand the growth and development of toddlers and infants. It explains an observation of an infant boy named Taylor who is 8 months old.

The first year of a child’s life is spent communicating entirely through nonverbal means. Infants use every part of their bodies to convey their wants and needs as their parents and early childhood educators respond to meet them. Examples of this are reflexes, such as opening their mouths when hungry. Also, crying and whole body movements to demonstrate feelings. Another way that is interesting in infant nonverbal communication is allowing infants to play with each other.
