Children’s most intense period of intellectual and physical development comes in their early childhood. The development of movement and speech and social skills are all formed during this period, which is exciting and challenging at the same time. It is also the best time to correct any developmental, treatable problems that the child may be struggling with, with early detection increasing the chances of successful treatment. It is also an excellent time for parents to educate their children on the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
