What Should I Do If I'm Worried About My Child's Development?

Описание: Do you have any concerns about your baby's development?

It is normal for parents to worry

...and it is okay to check-in with a health professional if you have ANY concerns 💙

It is important to remember that each baby is different and will develop at different rates with their own unique developmental timeline 🌈

However, if you are concerned, seeing a health professional for an assessment is very beneficial for two reasons:
1️⃣ If there is something wrong, early intervention can help improve any issues before they worsen.
2️⃣ Peace of mind!

From a Physiotherapy perspective there are the 2 main things to keep an eye on:
👶🏼 Any going backwards of developmental skills, for example, a child who previously sat independently but begins to frequently fall or requires support to sit.
🦵🏼Any asymmetry (uneven) movements between the left and right sides of the body.

Parents know their kids best, so it's important to trust your instincts and get early advice if you feel it's necessary! 💬

We have a wonderful team of Paediatric clinicians across Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology who help guide parents and their children through developmental milestones every day.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us - we're more than happy to help! 💙
