7 Real fear of milestone Anxiety

Parents tend to be a keen observer of their child’s overall development depending on her age and ability etc, But sometimes it also makes us anxious about milestones, a child has reached/not reached.

Milestone anxiety is real! We need to understand a few things if it is not possible to take away the stress.

2-Avoid listening to comments about your babies development until and unless by a specialist (most of the time it is in your best interest yet they cause a lot of anxiety/stress too)

3-Babies always don’t need our hands on them to help, just creating an environment will be a big help.

4-Let babies explore themselves and problem solve themselves and that’s the best way to learn.

6-There are age ranges for every milestone so it’s ok to wait!

7- Every child is unique and different, accept and respect the difference.
