Pediatric Milestones: Is My Child on Track?
All children grow and develop at different rates, though there are some important milestones to keep an eye on to ensure your child is on
track. Behaviors such as imitating sounds, clapping, and forming sentences are important parts of your baby’s development and start to happen at different points in your baby’s growth.
The most important time in a child’s life to develop motor and sensory skills is within the first three years of age. Some of these milestones seem like such natural progressions that they may go unnoticed. Consult our Pediatric Developmental Milestone chart to see how your child is progressing.
