Most parents wonder at times if their child is growing and developing like other children the same age. Each child develops differently.
Babies Can't Wait...
If a child's growth or learning is slower than that of other children the same age, it is best to check it out as soon as possible. The same is true if a child has a health condition that could be long lasting. Many children do not "outgrow" a problem. They may need extra community services and support to live healthy and successful lives.
