HELP ME GROW: One Call Connects All (Video)

 

Your child reaches new heights at every age. Physically, children grow taller. Kids move, learn, think, problem-solve, communicate, and show new emotions at every age too. The new abilities that your child has at every age are called milestones.

 

Most babies at 2 months old can hold their head up. You may start to notice that your baby can recognize familiar people at 4 months old. The milestones continue for every month. Milestones are fun to celebrate and they are helpful sources of information. When you monitor your child’s milestones you will be more likely to catch on early if your child needs extra support.
