The CDC has a new app to help track young children's milestones

[DesertRat]

Milestones matter! Track your child’s milestones from age 2 months to 5 years with CDC’s easy-to-use illustrated checklists; get tips from CDC for encouraging your child’s development; and find out what to do if you are ever concerned about how your child is developing.

From birth to age 5, your child should reach milestones in how he or she plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves. Photos and videos in this app illustrate each milestone and make tracking them for your child easy and fun!

1. That could be pretty cool

I've worked with lots of young, first time parents who get so worried that their child is not developing "right." This could help reassure them all is well.

2. I think so too

It can also inform them when the child isn't developing on schedule so if needed they can seek out early intervention.
