When your baby is a newborn, it will stay in the fetal position. This is the beginning of the sensorimotor stage when the child learns about the world through senses, actions, and direct experience.
In this stage they are learning object permanence and stranger anxiety. The child develops schemas or mental categories for objects that include knowledge about features or characteristics of the objects. One important feature is object permanence or the recognition that the object has a physical tangibility and it continues to exist even when the child does not have direct sensory experience with the object.
In the first month of life the child relies on reflexes. The infant is dependent on reflexes, rigid patterns of behavior, and they can learn. They will not search for an object that leaves their visual field.
Newborns have a lot to learn!

About Me
- Angelia
- I am a survivor of abuse and assault. I started out by accident helping other women I met through workplaces, the neighborhoods I lived in, and through our children meeting. They all told me when I helped them that I should be a counselor. I did not have the money to go back to school at that time, so I just sat on that until later. I heard about Life Coaching, looked into it, and now I've been doing it since 2004! Everyone that I meet this way tells me what good work I am doing for the women I help, so I'll continue to do it as long as I can! My business has grown over tenfold in the past year, and even though I'm still not "making a living" at it, I have confidence that things will continue to grow, and I have plans on many ways to expand, and help as many women as possible here, and around the world if I get my way!
