Every parent has a relationship to developmental milestones. Some cautiously peek at the checklist every few months (years as kids get older), others post a comprehensive grid of expected accomplishments by age on the fridge, checking them off as they go along. Regardless, it’s always nice to get second opinions — from pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, fellow confused parents, even those parents who apparently did get that fabled childcare manual. (My kid didn’t come with instructions…maybe next time.)
At Speech Buddies we’ve addressed a lot of these speech-language milestones and development questions. The articles below are some of the most popular, organized by age group. If you’re looking for information that you didn’t find, please contact us, we’re always looking for topics of concern.
