Optimal growth and development ensure a child can navigate through life smoothly and independently. It is vital for their future success in both their personal and professional lives. While it is true that comparing kids is not the best way to ascertain whether a child is growing well because kids grow at their own pace, as parents, teachers, and caregivers, there is a need to be on the lookout for signals that may indicate a disability or a developmental delay. Identifying these issues early on helps nip them in the bud so that there are fewer chances of requiring intensive interventions in the future.
