“CHILDREN ARE MADE READERS ON ThE LAPS OF THEIR PARENTS.” EMILIE BUCHWALD SPOTTING THE SIGNS OF DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY While every child develops at their own pace, Enone warns that certain red flags may indicate a developmental delay in this age range, including: » Poor body awareness in hygiene or dressing/undressing : Difficulty drawing people or bodies » Lack of interest in playing with friends or joining group games, often preferring to play alone » Excessive clinginess or abnormal separation anxiety » Frequent temper tantrums or disruptive social behaviour, showing little self-control + Unusual fears, worries, frequent night terrors, bedwetting, or physical symptoms like stomach pain » Defiant or aggressive behaviour, causing ongoing problems at home or school » Intentional harm to animals or friends * Poor speech articulation or not responding to questions or instructions » Self-regulating with unusual sounds or performing repetitive movement and behaviours « Clumsiness, frequent tripping, or unusual injuries, possibly due to ear infections, poor eyesight, cognitive impairments, or weak motor coordination Enone advises seeking a developmental assessment if a child shows a loss of skills, noticeable delays, or sudden changes. Professional help is also recommended for children with diagnosed conditions, even if delays aren't yet apparent. Missing key milestones, like not crawling or walking by 18 months or failing a school readiness assessment at age 5-6, are further red flags. Thus, if you're concerned about your child's development, consult a paediatrician or early intervention specialist as early support can make all the difference in their progress and future success. » Sources: *https://thecuriouskindergarten.blog/2014/10/08/see- 7 Enone Minnaar-eCD-qualfied sducator J www.healthychildren.org / aussiechildcarenetwork.com.au / www.littlebigartists.com
