Early childhood is a critical period when it comes to a person’s development.
The changes that occur in this phase at the cognitive, motor, social and health level are crucial. This is why it’s important to ensure a child’s development is following its normal course.
It is widely known that the earlier a developmental problem is uncovered, the greater the chances that a child will succeed in school and in life.
