| Development Intellectually, physically and emotionally is perhaps a parents biggest concern for their child. Great emphasis is put on the first step and the first word. This page is meant to help you guide your child along his/her developmental road, monitor them, and answer your questions about possible delays. If you have ANY concerns that your child is NOT meeting his/her milestones, or if your child is high risk due to congenital Birth Defects, special needs or premature birth please check out the link for your state. State governments are mandated to provide a program especially suited for your needs. Take advantage of it!
