A helpful guide to supporting your child’s learning and development - building confidence, communication and strong connections with educators.

What should I do if I’m worried about my child’s development?

If you’re worried about your child’s development, the first step is to notice what you’re seeing, then talk it through with someone who knows your child well, such as their educators, GP or child and family health nurse. Children develop at different rates, and not every concern means something is wrong. But if a concern is ongoing, getting advice early can help you understand what’s happening and access support if needed. You don’t need to diagnose anything yourself. Start with one calm conversation and take the next sensible step from there.
