Milestones in Development

Milestones in development are key achievements or skills that generally mark stages of growth in a person's life, especially in childhood. These include abilities like walking, talking, or reading, which typically happen within expected timeframes. Recognizing milestones helps caregivers and professionals assess whether development is on track or if extra support might be needed. While every individual progresses uniquely, milestones provide useful reference points to ensure healthy growth across physical, emotional, social, and cognitive domains.
