Most pediatricians track developmental milestones during regular check-ups. If you have specific concerns, discussing them with your child's doctor is always a good first step. They can offer guidance and resources tailored to your child's age.
What's the most important thing for a child's early development?▾
Consistent, responsive caregiving and a loving environment are foundational. Providing opportunities for play, reading together, and engaging in conversations all contribute significantly to their early learning and emotional security.
