Normal motor development of the child is an important segment in the child's further development. The baby begins its development from conception and continues to develop intrauterinely. At birth, the child continues its development and begins to adapt to external stimuli coming from the environment. Prerequisites for normal motor learning include: normal postural tone, normal reciprocal innervation, and differentiation of mass primitive, primary motor synergies into finely isolated, selective patterns of posture and movement. Through the spontaneous motor skills of the fetus and young child, general movements develop that enrich the central nervous system. The child's motor reactions are reactions: survival, primary and tonic that ensure the development of harmonious motor skills in the child. Pathological reactions and Galant's spinal reflex are also present. The primary reactions include: Moro's reflex, palmar and plantar reflex and others through which the child develops motor skills. Tonic reactions are essential in ensuring normal motor development and include: labyrinth tonic reaction, symmetrical neck tonic reaction, asymmetric neck tonic reaction, associated reactions and positive support reaction. Also, the child goes through the basic stages of development that allow the child to move around the space. They are divided into: flexion and abduction phase, extension and abduction phase, extension and minor abduction phase, rotation phase and verticalization phase. This completes the physiological motor development of the child in the first year of life. After that, this intensive process continues with the development of more complex patterns of movement. The aim of this final paper is to explain the motor development of a child in the first year of life and the conditions that enable it. After the description of the normal motor development of the child in the first year of life, deviations that may occur during the specified period of life will be listed.
