Child Development: Cognitive

Developmental Red Flags
to Emotional, Cognitive and Behavior Skills

Red Flag

As your baby grows, it's only natural to wonder if everything is okay. How can you tell what your baby should be able to do and when?

How can you tell if your child is on target to develop her emotional, cognitive, and behavior skills? Look for the red flag in each age group. If you notice these behaviors with your child, discuss your concerns with your doctor.
