Developmental Milestones
Put simply, developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Children reach these milestones in how they play, learn, speak, act, and move. It can be anything from taking a first step, to smiling for the first time, to waving “bye-bye”, or to saying their first words. The following resources can help you see if your child is on track in where they should be.
