The most fulfilling part of being a mom and a pediatrician for me is witnessing my own child and other little ones under my care attain new skill levels in their growth journey. Those initial grins or giggles followed by those hesitant first steps are especially precious moments both for children and parents.
It is important for a child’s cognitive, social, and physical growth to reach developmental milestones appropriate for their age.
