Every child grows at his or her own pace, but most children achieve developmental milestones within the same general timeline. Keep in mind that the impact of abuse or neglect may cause children to develop at a slower rate (Perry, 2006) and that children born prematurely may also achieve milestones at different times, depending on the degree of prematurity. The chart [in this publication] provides general guidance on developmentally appropriate behavior in children, behaviors of the child or parent that may be a cause for concern, and positive parenting strategies. You may want to adjust your expectations according to the child\u2019s needs and the parent\u2019s situation.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adevine.io\/dws-development-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ages-and-stages-chart-pg1.png\" alt=\"Ages and Stages chart 1, ages 0-7 months\" width=\"815\" height=\"720\" \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adevine.io\/dws-development-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ages-and-stages-chart-pg2.png\" alt=\"Ages and Stages chart 2, ages 8-24 months\" width=\"815\" height=\"720\" \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adevine.io\/dws-development-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ages-and-stages-chart-pg3.png\" alt=\"Ages and Stages chart 3, ages 3-4 years\" width=\"815\" height=\"720\" \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adevine.io\/dws-development-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ages-and-stages-chart-pg4.png\" alt=\"Ages and Stages chart 4, ages 5-7 years\" width=\"815\" height=\"750\" \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adevine.io\/dws-development-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ages-and-stages-chart-pg5.png\" alt=\"Ages and Stages chart 5, ages 8-14 years\" width=\"815\" height=\"840\" \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adevine.io\/dws-development-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/ages-and-stages-chart-pg6.png\" alt=\"Ages and Stages chart 6, ages 15-18 years\" width=\"815\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Supporting Brain Development in Traumatized Children and Youth<br \/>U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Child Welfare Information Gateway, August 2011.<br \/><a style=\"font-size: smaller;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.childwelfare.gov\/pubs\/braindevtrauma.pdf#page=5&amp;view=Ages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.childwelfare.gov\/pubs\/braindevtrauma.pdf#page=5&amp;view=Ages<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"legal\"><strong>Legal Disclaimer:<\/strong> Advokids provides educational information and resources to those who use our website, call our hotline, or submit requests for information via the website.
