Developmental Milestones

Developmental milestones are a set of functional skills or age-specific tasks that most children can do at a certain age range. Although each milestone has an age level, the actual age when a normally developing child reaches that milestone can very quite a bit, so don't be alarmed if your own child's development takes a slightly different course.. Please remember that every child is unique!
