YOUR PREEMIE'S EARLY DEVELOPMENT *Information/Chart from the book: Your Premature Baby and Child, by Amy E. Tracy and Dianne I. Maroney. Chart 12-1: Overview of typical preemie developmental milestones, pp.224-225. By understanding the common ages and stages of child development, you can monitor your preemie's progress and identify the first signs of any problems. It is important that developmental delays, even slight ones, are not overlooked. Some children with delays skip steps in learning (they will learn A, then C, and skip B). These "gaps" in learning may or may not affect later learning, but should be assessed. Think of your child's early learning development like building a house--a solid foundation is essential. Click HERE to view the chart. You can print the chart from your computer so you may use it as a guide for monitoring your child's development and discuss any concerns with your pediatrician or developmental specialist. |
