Our 2nd and final day at Chiranjeev Clinic.
As I mentioned before, children also come to this clinic for testing of developmental milestones. Upstairs, a small office and play area is used to conduct these examinations. As per a photo shamelessly taken of a poster, listed below are just a few of the capabilities expected of children at a certain age (give or take):
1st Month - The newborn is able to turn their head from side to side. The ability to fix their gaze on a certain point is also expected.
2nd Month - The child is able to hold up their head. Smiling and co-ordination of eye and head movement should also crop up around this age.
4th Month - The child is able to raise their feet and open their hands. He/She will also tend to feel objects.
8th Month - The child can sit unaided. Object transfer from hand to hand is also possible.
12th Month - The child begins to walk, play, and speak (~5-6 words, as well as the repetition of certain syllables).
After returning from our shift, we got ready for our long-planned fancy dinner at Nimantran Restaurant with the host family. Pictures below!
2 more days until I depart Pune...
