Birth to 5: Watch Me Thrive!
We thought parents might be interested in this public campaign on child development.
- See milestones that children should reach from 2 months to 5 years of age, plus interactive tools to help keep track of the milestones.
- Here’s the Families page (there are also pages for educators, health provider, etc.)
Here’s the program announcement we received:
As many as one in four children from birth to age 5 is at risk of developmental delay or behavioral challenges. To promote healthy development and early identification of these issues, several federal have partnered to launch a public outreach campaign highlighting the importance of universal developmental and behavioral screening, and support for young children.
The campaign’s mission is to:
- Promote universal screening.
- Identify possible delays and behavioral issues in any child setting.
- Enhance developmental supports for children.
- Offer resources for professionals working with children.
These resources include screening tools, user guides for different audiences (including behavioral health providers), and an array of online resources for providers and parents.
