Thanks for the link.

Anybody have ideas for how to keep it all straight?

Anybody have ideas for how to keep it all straight?

I'm in Pedi and OB right now and I just made a 93 on my first Pedi test. I have found that relating ages to something familiar to yourself helps. For instance, this works for me:

12-16mo - I think of 12-16 years and pictured "preindependence" of a teenager. They are learning to do things on their own, imitating what other people do, and starting to walk (a teenager is learning to make own choices).

16-18mo - I think of 16-18 years and pictured "perception" phase a teenager goes through. They are learning to think for themselves, walk independtly and becomes curious. A teenager in this age bracket is expressing thought via clothing, moving closer to independence with self and becomes curious about careers.

24mo - I think of a 24-year-old and pictured "independence." They are thinking for themselves, running full speed ahead and expressing various thoughts.

Hope that helps, just an example of how I associate things. I'm 21, so my teen years were almost literally yesterday, hence my connection of the age in months to age in years. Do what works for you.

And, of course, some of it you'll just have to flat out remember. Although there ARE shortcuts, a state board question won't ask you at what age did you buy a phone, lol.

The mistake I made in pedi was thinking of my grandchildren when considering a developmental age in children. BAD idea, as my babies were advanced and I kept getting the ages wrong on exams.
