The Physical Development of a child is one of the most important things to consider about a child considering that it includes emotional development, psychological development, and biological development.

These are the changes that occur in humans from the moment of birth to beginning of adulthood, and in some cases the end of adulthood.

Adults and parents should take their child’s physical development seriously because issues can occurs as early as infancy in children. It is not uncommon for a child to learn to walk before they learn to crawl, a parent should monitor the rate of the other developmental milestones.

It is important for parents to identify possible disabilities to be able to assist their children in reaching other developmental goals.
