Article Abstract:
Some babies take time in learning to crawl, walk or talk. Such developmental delays should not be a cause for concern for parents. Instead, they should find out why their children are late in reaching milestones. For instance, personality is a factor in kids who learn to walk later than usual, as there are some who prefer to read or draw over moving.
