Understanding Developmental Milestones
Developmental milestones are important skills and behaviors that most kids usually reach at certain ages. These milestones are divided into different areas, including:
Motor Skills: Almost all children, about 90%, can walk by the time they are 12 months old.
Language: Around 50% of kids can say their first words by 12 months.
Social Skills: By age 2, about 80% of children can play alongside other kids, even if they don’t play together.
Tracking these milestones helps experts spot if a child might be developing more slowly than others. Sadly, this affects about 1 in 6 children.
