Keep in mind for developmental milestones …
- Milestones occur within a range of time
- Infants develop in various ways, but tummy time is essential
- Toddlers are egocentric and think everything belongs to them
- Preschoolers engage in pretend play, running, climbing
- With each stage, speech and language grow more complex
