Abstract
Evaluating the child’s development is an integral part of the primary health care visit. This includes assessing developmental milestones and considering the factors that go into healthy development. These factors include physical and psychosocial growth; gross motor and fine motor coordination; brain development; temperament; family and cultural factors; cognitive, visual, and auditory development; psychosexual development; and language development. Children need to successfully complete one stage of development before they can move to the next stage in any domain.
