Children grow in an amazingly fast rate during the first few years of life. Tracking the height and weight of a child has been the established parameter of the child’s growth and development. Other than increases in height and weight, children also go through major development stages, which are the easily identifiable skills of walking, running, rolling over, holding a cup, among others, which are referred to as “developmental milestones.” These developmental milestones are certain skills and tasks that a child can do at a certain age range, classified into domains namely fine motor, receptive and expressive language, cognitive, self- help, and social- emotional aspects.
