Explain developmental milestones, including brain functioning and physical development, from birth to school age.

You are working in an early childhood program at your local daycare. One day you are approached by a mother who has a 6-month-old baby girl named Kaylee. The mother is concerned that she does not know how and when her baby should be developing. She is seeking your advice about developmental milestones that her child should experience from now until entering kindergarten and what she can do to assist her baby in reaching these milestones in the areas of nutrition, health, and safety.
Write a 750-1,000 word narrative informing the mother of the different developmental milestones, including brain development, which her child should go through from ages 6 months to 5 years. Include guidance on how she can promote development successfully, especially focusing on the areas of nutrition, health, and safety.

In addition, include 3-5 resources for the mother that depict both typical and atypical development and help to explain how nutrition, health, and safety can promote healthy brain development, for future reference.
