Early Childhood physical, language, and cognitive developmental milestones Physical - from age 2 through 5, most children gain about 3 pounds to 5 pounds a year.  Children grow about 3 inches taller a year.
​
Language - by age 3 children can speak about 200 words and can follow two-part directions, such as “Wash you face and put your shoes away.” Most five year olds can conduct a
​conversation.

Cognitive – thinking and reasoning skills, progresses from a simple to a more complex understanding of time, letters, counting, and colors.  Children are able to follow increasingly more detailed commands.
​
An atypical developmental signal at this stage would being non-verbal and not turning to look when someone calls the child’s name.  The child may be autistic or have some form of hearing issue.
