The developmental journey of the first five years of a child’s life is marked by a series of accomplishments within the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social domains. Known as pediatric milestones, these markers indicate the maturation of a child’s skills and are critical tools for identifying any developmental concerns. This course examines the key stages of early childhood development from infancy to age five, exploring significant makers that define a child’s thinking, emotions, and physical abilities. This course also discusses practical strategies for identifying developmental delays, approaches for encouraging development, and recommendations for intervention for timely and effective support.
