YOUR OBSERVATIONS MATTER

Understanding your child’s development.

The ways your child plays, communicates, learns, and moves can start a helpful conversation with your pediatrician.

NOTICE. SHARE. ASK.

Bring your questions.
We’ll help with the next step.

If you are concerned about development or notice that your child has lost skills, discuss it with your child’s healthcare professional. A milestone checklist can help organize your observations; it does not establish a diagnosis.

Communication

Questions about responding to their name, gestures, speech, or other ways of expressing needs.

Play & connection

Questions about interactive play, sharing interests, or noticing and responding to other people.

Everyday development

Questions about sensory experiences, daily routines, or changes in skills your child previously used.

Explore age-based guides.

The CDC’s milestone checklists can help you track observations and prepare for a conversation with your child’s doctor.
