This chart will guide you through the
growth and development of an average child during the critical
ages from birth to three years. Please remember that every
child is unique---growing and developing at different rates.
Most of the time differences between children of the same
age are nothing to worry about. But for one child in 10, the
difference can be related to a developmental delay.
