Child developmental milestones
Children develop in lots of different ways. Through interacting and exploring their world, over time they develop skills such as walking, talking and getting dressed. These skills are called developmental milestones.
Developmental milestones by age
Understanding the different developmental milestones will help you support your child as they grow. Milestones should be treated as a rough guide, as each child is unique and will develop at their own pace. It is often unhelpful to compare a child with their siblings or peer group.
