The first four years are a crucial time of rapid growth—physically, emotionally, cognitively, socially, and morally. Every child develops at their own unique pace, but this handy guide breaks down what you can generally expect from 3 months up to 4 years old!

​Disclaimer: These are general milestones. All children are different and some will develop faster or slower than others.

Understanding a 3-Year-Old Brain
​My brain is growing fast! I'm building millions of connections every day to help me think, move, talk, and feel.
​What you might notice: Asking "why?" over and over, saying "no" a lot, changing my mind quickly, and big feelings coming out suddenly.
​What helps me grow: Connection, play, repetition, calm adults to help me co-regulate, and plenty of sleep!
​These things help my brain feel safe so I can learn, grow, and handle the big world around me.
