Research tells us that the first three years of a child’s life are critical years for learning. Early care and education have a long-lasting impact on how children develop. During a child’s first three years, it is important to focus on a child’s developmental needs and take advantage of your child’s natural ability to learn.
Your child’s future growth and development are greatly affected by his or her first three years of life. You, as parents, know your child best, and can make sure that these years are wonderful times to laugh, play, and learn from and with your child.
By learning what your child will be doing at different ages, you will become a better informed parent, able to take pleasure in your child's growth, yet alert to any possible problems in development. Trust your instincts and feelings as you watch your child grow. Remember, it never hurts to ask questions. Your doctor can answer any questions you may have about your child's growth, and AzEIP is available if you have concerns about your child's development.
