T he journey of your child’s early years includes many developmental milestones for how he or she plays, learns, speaks, and acts. Look inside to learn what to look for in your child. Talk with your child’s doctor about these milestones. Not reaching these milestones, or reaching them much later than other children, could be a sign of a developmental delay. Learn the Signs.
