What social-emotional abilities should my child have at 7-9 months?

Social-emotional growth takes time. Early experiences with family, caregivers, and peers greatly impact social and emotional development, but throughout our lives we will continue to be shaped by our experiences! These experiences can include meeting new people, overcoming difficult situations, or even raising children. Be on the lookout for these abilities as your child grows. They are encouraging signs that your child is making progress in their social and emotional development.
