How to use the Stepping Stones
No two children are alike. Some babies will do things earlier, some later, there is no fixed timetable. Each child does, however, hit certain developmental steps one after the other as they build upon their growing thoughts, feelings, emotions, senses and reflexes. We call these stepping stones.
Create your child’s unique roadmap: Discover what the stepping stones are, find out what’s going to happen next, get the tools and information you need to recognize the signs, and learn how to support and encourage your baby’s development. You can track how your child is developing by making notes as they reach each stepping stone, and share their progress with family and friends.
