How can you be sure that a baby is developing in- a normal manner? A. Judging the developmental progress of a child is a matter for a physiCian. The trick is in knowing what is meant by "normal". The word is often used .but hard to pin down. M4ny People tend to consider "normal" as suggesting "desir- able." Parents can spare thein - selves much worry and con- cern by taking children to a doctOr for _regular checkups, You can 'help by keeping a simple record of the child's early progress. If trouble de- velops in later years it may be very necessary to know such seemingly unimportant things as the age at Which the young- ster sat alone, reached for ob- jects, er started "building" bouses with blocks. "Baby books" usually give an outline of what to look for and, pro- vide space for making speCial notations as the child grows and develops.
