Watching Your Child Grow Every new parent brings home a bundle of anxieties along with their baby. Wondering whether a child's sight, hearing, motor or mental skills are developing normally is one of the biggest worries a parent can have. Discovering a possible problem is difficult because a baby or young toddler cannot tell you what might be wrong.
Parents can look for certain clues, however, to keep track of their child's development.
Trust your instincts. The earlier a disability is identified, the sooner you and your child can receive help in dealing with it. The child's eyes should follow the movement. In this case, a child's eyes dart in different directions, as though searching for something. Your child's eyes should move together.
