sequencing from one stage of physical and mental development to
another-"Each child sits before he stands; he babbles before he
talks" (Gesell). It's a marvelous process to watch and a marvelous
opportunity for parents to foster and implement important periods
of growth. http://childdevelopmentinfo.com/health_safety/physical_development.shtml
