What Are the Key Milestones in Visual Development?
Several key milestones mark the progress of a child's visual development:
1. Birth to 1 Month: Newborns can focus on objects 8-12 inches away from their face and prefer high-contrast patterns. 2. 2 to 4 Months: Infants begin to track moving objects with their eyes and develop improved color vision. 3. 5 to 8 Months: Depth perception starts to develop, and babies can see more clearly and further away. 4. 9 to 12 Months: Babies can judge distances well and have better hand-eye coordination. 5. 1 to 2 Years: Toddlers gain improved depth perception and fine-tune their hand-eye coordination.
