Developmental Milestones
| What are developmental milestones? Developmental milestones are a set of functional skills or age-specific tasks that most children can do at a certain age range. Your pediatrician uses milestones to help check how your child is developing. Although each milestone has an age level, the actual age when a normally developing child reaches that milestone can very quite a bit. Every child is unique! Overall development—gross and fine motor, language, cognitive, and social skills. Find your child’s developmental milestones by their age, plus problems to look for that you should report to your pediatrician. This information is from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). |
