A new period begins in the life of the parents with the birth of a baby. When every family learns that they will have a child, they dream about their child being "perfect". And they follow their child's development from the moment their child is born. Today, hearing screening, hip dislocation screening, phenylketonuria, hypothyroidism, and biotinidase tests are performed free of charge for babies born in hospitals. In addition to these tests, families visit pediatricians to learn about their baby's physical development such as height and weight, and during these routine examinations they also learn about baby care.
However, to be sure that a child is developing normally, their performance should be evaluated by comparing them with their peers in the areas of cognitive, emotional, social, language and motor skills and development should be monitored.
By having your baby monitored, you can be sure that their development is normal, and if they are developing differently, you can take precautions with early intervention. You can prepare them for their education by supporting their development with the necessary intervention programs.
Similarly, this age range is the years when we determine what kind of adult we will be in the future. How parents should behave in a way that will positively support their children's personality can also be learned through parental counseling.
In our center, for development monitoring and counseling, the "Early Childhood Developmental Assessment Checklist-Baby Stimulation List", "AGTE", "Nutrition Observation Form", "Sleep Observation Form" are applied to children between the ages of 0-2, and detailed observations are made with the family.
