Developmental Review

Hi there! So, developmental review is like a check-up that grown-ups do for kids to make sure they are growing and learning the way they should. It's like when you go to the doctor to make sure you're healthy, but for how you're growing and learning.

When you're born, you can't do much besides eat and sleep. But as you get older, you learn how to crawl, walk, talk, and do all sorts of cool stuff. Your parents and teachers want to make sure that you're learning all these things at the right time and in the right way.

So, they might do things like watch you play and see how you interact with others, or ask you questions to see how well you can answer. They might also look at your school work or chat with your teacher to see how you're doing in class.

It's important to do a developmental review so that if there are any problems, they can be spotted early and worked on. It's like fixing a small problem with a toy so it doesn't become a bigger problem later.

So, that's what a developmental review is – just a check-up to make sure you're growing and learning like you should be!
