Doctor's advice:

• “A child’s development is assessed not only by skills but also by strengths. Daily interaction with parents, play, and emotional contact are key to brain development. Early detection of developmental differences allows for effective support. The doctor’s role is to help timely identify the child’s needs and choose an individualized development path.”
