Developmental milestones (motor, sensory, communication, feeding, social), are key skills that follow a fairly predictable pattern as a child ages. They are behavioral or physical “checkpoints” as a child grows. From birth to age five, a child’s brain develops more than any other time in their life, creating millions of connections that stimulate their development.
Knowing and properly identifying these milestones are important to measure if your child is on track. There is a “range” of typical development, however, you should always follow your instincts and discuss any concerns with your pediatrician.
