On Track

I've been there.

Trust me, you are not alone.

As a parent, we all want our child to be perfect.

Are you wondering if your baby's development is "on track?"  Are they developing as they should? You may be watching their response to you and others, their ability to grasp and focus on various objects, and movements they make with their body.

Are you comparing notes with friends or family or observing your child in a playgroup setting?

If so, chances are you are finding that there are differences between each child's abilities and interests. Differences are okay.

The bigger question is what is "normal" (or typical) development?

Although development varies from child to child, there are milestones which children typically meet at each age.

A recent statistic noted that nearly 1 in 6 children are diagnosed with some sort of behaviorial or developmental disability.

The eariler a delay is detected, the better support you can provide to your child.

Don't know where to start?

Here's one good place...
