Detailed explanation-2: -Talk to Your Child’s Doctor. As a parent, you know your child best. If your child is not meeting the milestones for his or her age, or if you think there could be a problem with the way your child plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves talk to your child’s doctor and share your concerns. Don’t wait.

Detailed explanation-4: -Showing your children that you love and care for them help to keep them mentally and emotionally strong. As a parent the best way to do this is to spend quality time with them on a regular basis. Children who spending more quality time with their families are more likely to be physically healthy (Rider, 2018).
