The most prominent signs that show the delay in development in children, and the most important methods so that we can evaluate our children
Welcome to all my dear visitors to my child’s world. One of the things that he cares about the most, and that he should be concerned about, is the normal growth and development of their children in all their age stages to ensure their physical, emotional and skill safety alike, each of which is no less important than the other. Then parents should be able to evaluate their children and pay attention to whether there is a problem or a delay at some point.. Therefore, in this article we will highlight to you the most important signs that indicate the delay in development in children, and the most important points that we should focus on during our evaluation of our children.

Together, we will learn how to evaluate our children. What is meant here is to reassure us that our child is safe, emotionally and mentally, and that he is fine, and we note whether he may suffer from any problem.
1. Auditory attention:
It is represented in the call to the child. Does the child look when he is called or does he not pay attention and does he pay attention the first time, the second time, or the third time? Does he pay attention while he is busy with something he loves?
Does the child notice a sound behind him (does he turn his face to the source of the sound)?
2. Visual attention:
Is he paying attention to something that emits light (such as a flashlight or a flashlight)?
Does he notice something moving?
Does he notice something moving in a circular motion, like a bee?
Does he pay attention to the face of the person talking to him?
Does he notice something moving vertically or horizontally?
3. Focus:
How long can the child sit while he is listening and alert when you talk to him?
Does the child have any movement patterns that require him to maintain a certain amount of time?
Is there anything that pisses him off?
How long can the child sit while he is doing an activity he likes?
4. Caring about things:
In it, we notice the way the child plays, does he play normally or is he interested in a part of the game (the car wheel) and the period during which he sits practicing his activity.
5. Understanding language:
We note his understanding of simple commands (hat - cheek). His understanding of the parts of his body (where is your hand, where is your eye).
His understanding of the things around him (where is the chair, where is the toy).
6. Expressive language:
Does the child express by pointing or talking, or does he take the mother’s hand for the thing he wants?
7. Tradition:
Does the child imitate simple movements such as (raising the hand and hitting the table) or is he unable to imitate?
