Developmental Delay
If I meet with my friends who have kids about my kids age, most of the time, we will talk about our kids development. I seldom worry about my children’s development as I use the general development guidelines and they meet the milestones most of the time. If I have any worries, I will talk to their paediatrician. But some parents are worried if their children have developmental delay, and besides reading more about this, it’s best to consult a paediatrician for a proper diagnose.
Every child develops his cognitive and physical skills at his own pace, so it’s not easy to compare one child to another one. As long as the parents are open and willing to talk to the doctor about this, there are ways to help the child who might be slow in developing some skills.
