Gross Motor Milestones

Your child’s ability to control movements and respond to his/her environment begins to develop even before birth. Each baby is unique and grows at his/her own rate. That is why there is a wide variety of “normal” in development. Although this is a gradual, individualised process, most babies do go through a series of developmental milestones around certain ages. The purpose of this checklist is to provide a reference to help guide you through your child’s development and what to expect at certain stages.
