Cevap
The correct findings for a 9-month-old infant include sitting without support, striking toys together, and displaying stranger anxiety.
By 9 months of age, infants are expected to achieve specific gross motor, fine motor, and psychosocial milestones. Sitting upright without support is typically achieved by 8 months. Banging two objects together is a fine motor skill expected around 9 months. Additionally, psychosocial development at this age is characterized by stranger anxiety, which peaks at 9 months and causes distress when unfamiliar individuals approach.
