| Child Developmental Milestones Although no two children develop at the same rate, children should be able to perform certain tasks at certain ages. Parents are in the best position to chart their child’s development, and can use these milestones described below as guidelines. If a child has not reached a typical milestone for his/her age, it does not necessarily mean that the child will never reach it or develop normally, but slow development should be a concern and these guidelines can help parents determine where their child is developmentally . Parents are the most important observers of their children’s development. If the child has special need(s), early intervention can make a world of difference. If you are a parent or a family member of a child that you suspect with Developmental Milestone Delay, you may ask the child`s legal guardian to contact TTS Pediatrics and make an appointment to one of a licensed therapist discuss the child possible need for physical and occupational therapy. Early intervention can make a world of difference!! | Age | Development Activities |
