Which item is listed as a 10-12 month milestone?

• A. Speaks in sentences
• B. Uses gestures
• C. Walks
• D. Eats with spoon

Answer: (B)

At around 10 to 12 months, children most reliably begin using gestures to communicate. They’ll often wave bye, point to show interest, reach to indicate wanting something, or nod in response—these nonverbal cues signal intent before they start speaking in words. This makes gestural communication the characteristic milestone for this age range.

Speaking in sentences is much later, typically well after the second year. Walking typically emerges around the first birthday but can vary, and using a spoon well is usually a bit later as well. So the gesture-based milestone fits the 10-12 month window best.
