sored lh.it most children are
normal and that a wide
range of conditions and be-
havior are considered "nor

Because no two children
are exactly alike, parents
cannot accurately judge
their child by comparing the
youngster with another But
most children go through de
velopmental steps at certain
ages, and knowing these can
relieve many anxieties for
parents
The Texas Medical Associ-
ation offers these milestones
as a general guide in child
development:
1 month lifts chin off
floor
2 months: lifts chest off
floor
:t months: reaches for
objects hut without success
4 months sits with sup
port
5 months sits on laps,
grasps small objects
6 months sits tn high
chair grasps dangling ob-
jects
7 months: sits alone
8 months stands with
help
9 months stands by
holding onto furniture
10 months: crawls
11 months walks if led
by one hand
11 months walks if led

— 12 months pulls up and
stands with the help of furni-
ture
—13 months: climbs up a
few stairs.
— 14 months: stands alone
—15 months: walks alone.
—Before third birthday:
talks in short sentences.
These lime periods for de-
velopment are broad gener-
alizations A normal child
might well be behind or
ahead at any stage. Still,
