GENERAL DEVELOPMENT

Child development is complex. Any “checklist” or calendar of developmental milestones can trouble parents whose child is developing normally or falsely reassure parents whose child should be evaluated for potential problems.

For every developmental milestone, there is a normal range in which a child may reach that milestone. For example, walking may begin as early as 8 months or as late as 18 months and be considered normal. If you have concern about your child’s development, call the child’s primary care provider.
