I started the morning Play & Workshop program with a checklist of Language Development milestones by age, so I’ll give a few comments about using checklists. The best way to use checklists is to look for progress overtime. I hesitate to even give checklists because many parents immediately fall into one of two traps:
Trap One – Looking only for weaknesses
Many parents get bogged down by items their child is low on. Child may be high on six of seven measures, but the parent is narrowly looking at the seventh category.
