Recognizing Early Signs of Developmental Delays

Early intervention makes a big difference. Know what milestones to watch for in your child’s first years.

Every child develops at their own pace, but some delays may indicate a need for professional guidance. Key milestones include:

  • Motor Skills: Crawling by 9 months, walking by 18 months
  • Language Skills: First words by 12 months, simple sentences by 2 years
  • Social Skills: Smiling by 2 months, interacting with peers by 3 years

If your child consistently misses milestones, discuss concerns with your pediatrician. Early support, therapy, and guidance can improve outcomes significantly.
