Developmental milestones are skills or behaviors most children exhibit by a certain age. Assessing these milestones involves observing the child's ability to perform age-appropriate tasks such as:
- Gross Motor Skills: Crawling, walking, running, and jumping. - Fine Motor Skills: Grasping objects, drawing, and manipulating small items. - Language Skills: Babbling, forming words, and constructing sentences. - Social Skills: Interaction with peers, playing, and responding to social cues.
