Developmental milestones, such as taking a first step, smiling for the first time and waving “bye-bye”, offer important clues about a child’s developmental health. Monitoring each child’s milestones will help determine if his or her development is on track. If there are potential signs of delay, early treatment is important to improve a child’s skills and abilities. With regular well-child visits, parents can work with their child's pediatrician to learn about next steps and any recommended services.
