Re: Is Your Child On Track?
^ Totally agreed. People get so caught up on how "well" their child is developing that it ends up stressing them out.
My daughter started crawling at 4 1/2 months and taking steps at 6 1/2 months. My son started crawling at 5 months and didn't really take steps until almost 10 months...but he started climbing everything by the time he was 6 months whereas my daughter didn't have an interest to climb until almost 1 1/2 years old.
While it's good to make sure that your child is progressing...looking at the list and thinking that your child is behind because they don't do everything is not good. In fact, children don't have "dependable" milestones until around 3-4 years of age where all of their developments are more predictable.
