Child development can be actively promoted through targeted therapeutic interventions and “just right” home exercises recommended by occupational and speech therapists.
Observing and monitoring child development is important to ensure that children reach developmental milestones. Developmental milestones (a “loose” list of developmental skills that all children are supposed to learn at about the same time but are far from exact) serve as a guide to ideal development.
Comparing a child’s developmental progress at specific age markers to these arbitrary time frames allows for a ‘check’ to ensure that the child is approximately ‘on track for their age. If not, this review of developmental milestones can help identify any developmental setbacks early on. This ‘verification’ is usually carried out by maternal and child services and paediatricians when infants and toddlers, and later through competency assessments for the preschool and school years.
Recognizing developmental problems as early as possible (and providing early intervention treatment, if necessary) can help minimize the impact these developmental disabilities can have on a child’s skill development and, thus, on a child’s self-confidence or serve as an indicator of a possible future diagnosis.
