兒童神經發展落後的警訊 Warning Signs Of Child Developmental Delay
Early childhood years are very important for human development. It is the time when the brain develops rapidly and the neural connections are formed. These connections are the foundation of a child’s physical and mental health, which goes for lifelong health and well-being.
It is believed that human brain is without any limitations, it becomes better with motivation and mental guidance. The rate of developmental improvement will be much faster the earlier you intervene, and it will be taking advantage of the brain’s natural more rapid development the younger someone is.
It is highly recommended that all children should be screened for general development using the important development milestones tools across all given ages for any child developmental delay or whenever a parent or caregiver has a concern. Kindly never hesitate or feel low to ask about child growth and development concerns and also about your child’s developmental milestone screening.
