Physical Development
Your 15-month-old baby boy is likely to be on the move all the time. They may have already taken their first steps or be walking with support. They will also be more coordinated and able to sit, stand, and walk with more confidence. Your little one may also enjoy climbing, so it’s important to make sure that they are safe and supervised.
At this stage, your baby boy will also be developing their fine motor skills. They will be able to pick up small objects, turn pages in a book, and even drink from a cup on their own. Encourage their development by providing toys that require them to use their hands, such as blocks or puzzles.
Language Development
Your baby boy is now starting to understand more words and may be able to say a few simple words themselves. They will enjoy listening to stories and pointing to pictures in books. Encourage their language development by talking to them throughout the day and asking them questions about what they see and hear.
It’s important to remember that every child develops at their own pace. If your baby boy is not saying many words or seems to be struggling with their language development, don’t worry. Talk to your pediatrician and they will be able to provide guidance and support.
Social and Emotional Development
Your baby boy is becoming more aware of their own emotions and those of others. They may show affection towards you and other family members, and enjoy playing with other children. They may also become upset when separated from you or when someone they don’t know approaches them.
Encourage their social and emotional development by providing plenty of opportunities for them to interact with other children and adults. You can also read books together that explore emotions and teach them how to express their own feelings.
