Five Minutes or Less for Health Weekly Tip: Watch for Milestones
Do you know all the ways you should measure your child's growth? Naturally, we think of height and weight, but from birth to 5 years, your child should also reach milestones in how he/she plays, learns, speaks, and acts. A delay in any of these areas could be a sign of a developmental problem, even autism. Often, the earlier a delay is recognized, the more you can do to help your child reach his/her full potential.
