Available in both English and Spanish. If you are interested in adding this class to your state’s online education platform, contact them to see a preview and have it added.
Course Description: Good nutrition is important for the healthy development of a child’s mind and body. We monitor (track) children’s growth by checking their weight and height. We monitor a child’s development by looking for developmental milestones – how children play, learn, speak, act and move for their age.
In this course, you will learn about:
- developmental milestones most children reach by a certain age,
- how to monitor your child’s milestones and share this information with healthcare providers and teachers,
-
tips to support your child’s healthy development.
* If your child has a special medical condition, like having a developmental delay or disability, they may be following their own developmental path with a different order and time than listed in this course. Talk with your child’s healthcare providers, therapists, and teachers about what new skills your child will be working towards next.
