Early childhood milestones refer to a set of functional skills/tasks that most children can perform at certain ages. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, behave and move. Milestones can help identify how the child is developing.

Sometimes when our child does not answer our question, it may be because we are asking too much at once.
Instead of bombarding your child with questions - for example, what's the dinosaur's name? Does he eat people? Where are his friend? What does he like?, make comments that will help your stay start and stay in a conversation. For example, you may comment - I like his tail. And your child may follow up with - I like his teeth.
