Trust Your Feelings No one knows your child better than you. You spend more time with your child than anyone else, you see your child at home, when he is eating, playing, or just being held. Parents, even new parents, “know” their child very early on. You can sense your child’s personality, moods, and needs. You will be the first one to “see” or “feel” that “something is different”. Maybe you think he is not acting like or doing what your other children did at the same age. It may just be that you are unsure about what he should be able to do. Trust your feelings.
Have you ever heard these statements? *Parents worry too much…* *Every child is different…* *Boys are slower. He’ll catch up…* *We’ll watch and check her again in 6 months…*
As a parent, you may have questions about how your child is growing and learning. At your child’s regular check ups, it is okay to ask questions about how your child is developing. All parents have good questions. However, if you feel that something is not right, please trust your feelings and call First Steps at 257-BABY (2229) or toll free (866)-212-1434 for a free referral and evaluation.
