We talk with foster parent and pediatric physical therapist Dr. Trevor Carlson about why early childhood development still affects our kids long after infancy. We walk through practical milestone windows, red flags, and simple ways we can help our kids build skills with hope and clarity.
• Why missed early milestones can show up later in regulation and connection
• When to talk with the pediatrician and ask about early intervention
• How to describe concerns when we do not have a full history
• Gross motor milestones to watch from rolling to walking
• Why crawling varies and what it can support later
• How prenatal drug exposure can affect brain arousal and sleep
• The difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy
• Clues that suggest a neurological issue, including asymmetry
• Why parent education and everyday play drive progress
• Where to find Dr. Carlson’s book, blog, email, and milestone checklist
