Milestone’s What Have Your Child's Personal Been

A child not arriving at the milestone corresponding to the age is considered as a late bloomer. There is nothing alarming in being a late bloomer. Infact a number of child prodigies like Braille and Mozart were late bloomers. A personal Milestone is a reference chart every parent needs to keenly follow and anticipate for their child. The line between a late bloomer and a child showing no signs of reaching the milestone is very thin and easy to cross over.

This is the reason why parents fail to detect symptoms of autism, or hearing loss, or even vision loss and other mental disabilities, because they consulted a pediatrician, late and in the process lost on precious time which could have been used to consult a pediatrician to put the child on to an Early Intervention Program. Normal development is all about developing basic functional skills like:

• Speech and Language: The ability to speak, using physical gestures, and to also understand what others say.

• Social and Emotional: The ability to interact with teachers, family and friends others and also responding to people’s feelings.

• Cognitive: These include all the skills involved in thinking: These include learning, understanding, problem-solving, reasoning, and remembering. • Gross motor: These skills emphasise on the ability to coordinate the limbs to balance oneself, stand, sit, walk, and run.

• Fine motor: The ability to use hands for different functions like eating, writing etc.
