Pediatric development
Pediatric development refers to the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth that occurs as children age. It follows certain patterns, such as learning to crawl, walk, talk, and develop relationships. Each stage builds on the previous one, influenced by genetics, environment, and experiences. Monitoring this development helps identify if children are growing as expected or if they may need additional support. It’s a dynamic process that varies among individual children, but overall, it follows typical milestones to ensure healthy growth and development into adolescence and adulthood.
