| A Note from the Medical Editor |
How children play, learn, speak, act, and move at any age provides important clues about their development.
Be aware of important
developmental milestones and celebrate all that your child is learning to do! Remember to share progress with your child’s pediatrician at each
well-child visit.
The best person to track your child’s development is you! If you ever become concerned,
talk to your child’s pediatrician. You know your child best. Don’t wait. Acting early can make a real difference!
