Babies have come a long way since their first days of birth. An 11-month-old baby can stand upright on his own for a while and walk on his own when leaning on objects. A small number of children are able to walk completely on their own, but most have to wait a little longer. Even knowing that being late is not necessarily a concern.
11-month-olds can do a lot of different actions, from clapping, waving goodbye, to banging toys together, raising hands to show they want to be held, drinking from a cup, lifting thumb and index finger small objects, imitate adult sounds and gestures...
Parents continue to stimulate the development of motor skills, cognition and language in children through toys, jigsaw puzzles, puppets, musical instruments, crayons, paintbrushes, books,... Children love role-playing games, because now children have the ability to imagine and master of imitation.
Parents should be aware that each child is an individual, so they may not develop equally. Let children freely explore, discover and develop their own skills. Children will achieve milestones in their own development when the right time comes for them. If parents feel there is something wrong, consult a specialist for the most accurate answer.
