Growth and development milestones

Growth and development milestones are key points that indicate how children progress physically, mentally, and socially. Growth refers to measurable changes, like gaining height or weight, while development involves acquiring skills such as crawling, speaking, or social interactions. These milestones vary among children but generally follow typical age ranges. Monitoring these helps ensure children are on track and can highlight if additional support is needed. Overall, milestones mark significant steps in a child's journey from infancy to childhood, reflecting their increasing abilities and independence.
