You work as a Child and Family Advocate for the State of California. In your role, you promote and protect the best interests of the child in a parental rights and responsibilities dispute. This often involves evaluating the family’s circumstances and making recommendations to the court regarding the child’s care, contact, and guardianship.
You are frequently asked to explain whether a child has met developmental milestones. To assist with your explanation, you have decided to create an infographic that illustrates the major developmental milestones for children.

- Infancy (birth to age 1)
- Toddlerhood (age 1-3)
