All children develop at different rates and in different ways. Please do not worry if your child is not doing all or any of the activities mentioned in the questionnaire. It is not a test. The activities are simply one way of understanding how your child is progressing

Possible answers:

Yes = your child does this activity (or has done it and has now progressed, e.g., crawling, but is now walking)

Sometimes = your child is just beginning to do this activity (but does not do it regularly)

Not Yet = your child has not yet started doing this.

Please leave blank any activities your child has not been able to try with you
