The first few years of a child’s life set the firm foundation for the overall development. A child’s development consists of a series of predictable changes. These impact the wholesome growth of the child – biologically, physically and emotionally. Parents both nurture and nourish a child by creating a conducive environment to ensure a healthy and happy childhood. Sometimes a major deviation from the typical growth curve can be indicative of developmental delay. The intensity and severity of which may vary from case to case. Hence, it is very essential to have early awareness of early signs of possible delays observed in the time course of your child’s development. Arming yourself with the right kind of information is important. It allows you to advance both investigation and intervention of possible developmental delays, if any, in different aspects of your child’s growth.
