Milestones for Children

Developmental Milestones are behaviors or skills most children can do by a certain age.

Examples of such developmental milestones include behaviors or skills such as taking the first step, smiling for the first time, and waving “bye-bye”. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, act, and move.

There are 5 major areas of developmental milestones: 

1. physical growth
2. cognitive development
3. emotional and social development
4. language development, and
5. sensory and motor development
