How to Spot Developmental and Emotional Challenges?
Every child grows at their own pace, but sometimes they face challenges that need extra attention. Recognizing these early can make all the difference in helping your child thrive. Here’s how you can spot the signs based on their age group and offer the right support.
Toddlers (Ages 1–4): Foundations of Growth
In the early years, toddlers are exploring their world, building emotional bonds, and learning how to communicate. At this stage, challenges like tantrums, sleep struggles, or delayed speech might arise.
What to Look For:
Frequent meltdowns or frustration with small changes.
Clinginess or fear when separated from caregivers.
Difficulty sleeping or staying on schedule.
Guidance for Parents:
Keep routines consistent and provide lots of reassurance. Small changes in how you respond can make a big impact.

Difficulty staying focused or completing tasks.
Frequent emotional outbursts or sensitivity to criticism.
