How do I know if my child isn't developing like they should be?
CDC has milestone checklists from ages 2 months through 5 years
You notice your child is not hitting their milestones as fast as their older siblings did
Yes, all children are different. But this could be a sign.
Other family members, friends, childcare workers, etc. have expressed concerns for your childs development
You know your child best, but sometimes an outside perspective can see things we don't as parents.
