EP35. Physical Development, Milestones, and Playground Safety with Pediatric Physiotherapist Jennifer Halfin

EP35. Renee chats with pediatric physiotherapist, Jennifer Halfin about all things physical development. They discuss the physical development milestone ranges (the ranges are huge by the way), tips for helping your little one to master certain skills, and playground safety. Milestones can be a very stressful part of parenting but, it doesn't have to be. We hope the information in this episode will be educational for parents and decrease any stress they may have around common physical milestones like sitting up, crawling, and walking.  Resources mentioned in this episode: Franzsen, D. and Visser, M.
