As a parent, watching your baby or toddler hit those major milestones—the first smile, first word, first step—is exciting. But developmental milestones aren't just moments to capture on camera or cherish in your heart; they are key indicators of your child's overall growth and development. Paying attention to these milestones gives you valuable insight into your child's physical, emotional, cognitive, and social development. Observing them helps ensure your child is on track, and it can offer early warnings of potential issues.
As a parent, you might think of playtime as a fun way to keep your baby or toddler entertained, but it's so much more than that.
