Originally my dad wanted to name me Somia, however, my mom did not like the name and she came up with a creative variation naming me Saamia.

My parents were considering other Muslim names such as Zarah Aryana and Sarina, whereas they were set on the name Shayan (my brothers' name) if I ended up being a boy.

My birth weight was 6 pounds and I was around 18 inches in length.

I was 7 months old when my first tooth came in.

After a year of crawling, I took my first step.

Potty training came easily to me, and I could use the toilet in 18 months.

I lost my first tooth when I was 7 years old.

Compared to the average statistics of birth weight and first steps, I came close to the average matching my social clock to the best of my abilities.

My current vision is farsightedness, I started needing glasses during 7th grade when I was 13 years old.

Puberty is when adolecents mature not only physically but mentally. It occurs in girls sooner than guys and it makes ones hormies influctuate.

I was 12 months when I said my first morpheme.

A funny phrase I used to say was"Anda Mujhe Kaya" which is a phrase in my first language, Urdu. I was intending to say "I finished my egg" but I would say "my egg finished me" since the sentence was grammatically incorrect.

Growing up, I did not face any language barriers.

Imprinting is the certain attachment an organism gets during their critical period that occurs in the early development stage of the baby. Since I saw my uncle almost everyday I got attached to him.

According to Ainsworth and Hallow the lack of attachment can raise insecurity within the child having detrimental effects such as trouble making future bonds and handling stress. Early attachment is critical to avoid long term consequences of absent attachment. I was always close with my mother and uncle and I personally don't see these traits within myself.

The sensorimotor stage is when the child is experiencing the world through their sense of touch,hear,taste,feel,and smell. We can see an example of this on how babies love to put everything in their mouths.

The preoperational stage is when a child begins to play using toys and physical symbols. At this age, the child is encouraged language development and discouraged their egocentrism

The concrete operational stage is when a child developes logic and has learned to be less egotistical. The children are encouraged to discover experiences to reinforce logical thinking through hands-on tasks.

During the formal operational stage, the child has discovered creative solutions, and the ability to predict consequences. In addition, children are shaping their own morals based on past experiences.
