About

developmental milestones and their importance

Your baby’s first smile, first word, first step – as a parent, these are all special moments that you will treasure for a long time. Did you know that these little moments of joy were also important markers of your baby’s development? Your paediatrician or child care specialist would call them by a more sober name – Developmental Milestones.

  • Developmental milestones are a set of functional skills or age-specific tasks that most children can do at a certain age
  • They are behavioural and physical checkpoints in a child’s development.

 

These milestones can be used as a framework to identify children who may be at risk for developmental delay. Developmental delay occurs when a child exhibits a significant delay in the acquisition of milestones in one or more domains of development. Early detection of developmental delays allows for early interventions and support.

Download our mobile app to access ‘The Milestone Tracker’ and check whether your child meets the milestones in the relevant age-group. If a risk of developmental delay is detected, you can opt for expert support from our clinical team and start an early intervention program.

 

Read on to know more about the milestones in the age-group you have selected. Please note that even within the broad confines of milestones, each child is unique and the timelines can vary.
