Every day you see them reach milestones. 
There are free resources to help you spot a few more.

You spend your day working with, playing with, and watching children, and 
you are already familiar with many milestones — such as pointing at objects, 
smiling, and playing with others — that mark a child’s development. All children 
are unique, but sooner or later, you will see a child who is not developing as they should. Free 
information on developmental milestones from 2 months to five years is available for child care 
providers and preschool teachers.
