One frequent question we hear from parents is "Is my child normal?". The question is generally asked in the context of development. This is of course a very broad question and if we are being honest it is usually asked with some specific incident or developmental milestone in mind.

Stanford University School of Medicine, WebMD and the CDC all have outstanding resources when it comes to understanding development.
