12. Physical Development Average Weight at birth: 7.3 pounds (largest 19.2 pounds) 95% of infants weigh between 5.5 and 10 pounds and are 18 to 22 inches long

13. Maturation The internally programmed growth of a child Lift head: 3 months Smile: 4 months Grasp objects: 5 to 6 months Crawling: 8 to 10 months Walking: 11 to 15 months

14. Maturation vs. Learning Maturation just as important as learning (relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience) Parents should wait for their children to develop, not try to push or force them when they are not ready
