The World Wide Web is not a substitute for the care of a competent health care provider. Do not read or use the information on this page until you have read and understood our Terms of Use.
Children are our most valued treasure. They are an endless source of pride and joy for their parents. And headaches and worry. Children don't come with owner's manuals. You never know quite whether what they are doing is normal and expected. And it doesn't necessarily get any easier with the second child. It often seems that whatever you got accustomed to with your first child, the second child will do something completely different. Living proof that God has a sense of humor.
While we cannot cover every aspect of children's growth and learning, we have compiled several handouts that touch upon frequent issues in normal child development. In the hopes that they will help parents better understand their children's growth, we proudly present these handouts for your edification.
These are presented for informational and educational purposes only. You cannot obtain adequate medical care through any web site. You should consult with your personal health care provider for your child's specific health care needs.
