Define human development index?
· According to the UNDP, human development may be defined as "a process of enlarging people's choices." At all levels of development, the three essential choices for people are, to live a long and healthy life, to acquire better knowledge and to have access to resources needed for a decent standard of living. If these essential choices are not available, many other opportunities to improve the quality of life will remain inaccessible.

What are the Gross and fine motor skills at 2 months old?
the fine motor skills at 2mts old are pretty simple! The baby/babies should be opening and closing their hands, grasping objects, watching objects from left to right, as well as up and down, using their arms to TRY to sit up, moving arms when rolling over, kicking legs often, noticing hands and feet, and cooing and gooing a lot(even laughing and "screaming")..Coordination brings all aspects of motor skills together. Over time the baby will learn to internalize the connection and interaction of the different body parts(as the hand-eye-coordination develops.) Within the first year your baby should learn his/her hand-eye coordination and YES it can take up to a year for that to happen. Don't be alarmed if it takes a little longer than some others, that is very normal. If at ONLY 2months old your baby isn't up to "STANDARDS" don't be worried.. he/she will find his/her time to work everything out! Good Luck!
What is the average age that a baby starts walking?
The average age would be somewhere around 12 months. But average for babies across the world has nothing to do with it. What matters is what is average for your baby.
You have babies that are pulling up as early as 5 months and walking as early as 7 months, or even earlier. You have babies that began pulling up earlier than you thought he or she would, but refuse to take that first real step until they are 14 months old.
Does your baby enjoy his or her independence or are very active, and did he or she begin scooting or crawling early? Chances are, your baby will start walking earlier than "average also." Or does your baby enjoy taking it easy, playing with toys that are in reach more than chasing after an out-of-reach toy, or content staying within one general area (not begging to be picked up and transported from one area to another much)? Your baby may not start walking until later because he or she is happy just where he or she is.
So it all just depends on the baby. Believe me, your baby will walk when he or she is ready to walk. Babies are naturally motivated to learn a new task.
At what age should children talk?

How do teenagers change as they grow up?
girls:
Get boobs, and their arms and legs get longer. the torso grows later. they start to grow pubic hair, and have periods when the female sex hormonee oestrogen is released by the ovaries. when periods start a girl will probably grow no more thatn 6cm taller.on average between as soon as periods start and two years after they develop armpit hair. hips widen and continue to grow until late teens allowing passage for a baby.hormone levels changing are partly responsible for mood swings. you spend less time with family and more with friends, you mix more with the opposite gender and you become more self concious.
boys:
grow pubic hair, and sperm and testosterone are released by the testes. you get a growth spurt around the agof 13, making you grow up to 12cm in a single year. first hands and feet, then arms and legs, and then your torso. bones grow faster then muscles making you gangly and uncoordinated. surges of testosterone give you spots. up to a third of boys developlarger breasts in their early teens, before testosterone levels rise. the voice deepens, often suddenly and abput two years after pubic hair develops you get facial hair, and on your legs, arms and underarms.the chest and shouldrs broaden, and the face changes shape, the jaw becoming more square. you become more muscular.
this comes with mental and emotional changes, and you start to understand ethical concepts more easily, and become more matue

Is it genius to learn alphabet and count to 10 at age of 2?
That's impressive to hear about a child who can do that. You'd have to see if he knows what the numbers or letters look like when you print them. Put five items on a table and ask him to tell you how many. If he can count them without help, he would be extemely smart. Print a letter of the alphabet and ask him what it is. Kids can memorize stuff at a young age but they are just wordsunless he know what the words mean.
