Developmental Milestones for Preschool
Children—Is My Child on Track?

Where is my child developmentally? Are his/her language skills advanced or delayed? What about his/her social skills and what can I do to help foster them? If you are asking these questions, you are not alone. Most preschool parents are anxious about every aspect of their children’s lives. In particular, you want to know if your child is “normal,” “advanced,” or “behind.” Should my child know the ABCs and when? Should my child be able to get dressed without help? Should my child be toilet trained by three? Should my child cry when being put to bed or dropped off at preschool? And the list goes on and on. This research-based guide will help you determine if your child is “on track” at two, three and four years old. Also included is a list of skills most children should have achieved by kindergarten. The guide suggests what to do (and where to go for help) if your child is lagging behind or seems to be advanced. A must for all parents of preschoolers.
