Nothing can be more troubling for parents than worrying if their child is developing normally.
Pediatric charts can seem to be the final authority on child and infant development.
Troubled parents should leave their worries at the door. Just as every day spent with a baby is different and new, babies too develop at varying speeds and with a range of unique skills. It's just a matter of time. Pediatric development charts are rigid. It's natural for parents to be concerned if their child does not match the chart's expectations.
