Tresco Outreach and Training Services
"Don’t worry." These two words have often discouraged parents and have prevented many children with developmental delays from getting what they need: early screening and identification, and appropriate intervention.
Despite the fact that there is a direct correlation between early identification and improved development, parents with concerns about their children are often told not to worry. Remember, parents know their children best and are in the best position to observe and report what their child is doing. They also have a sense of how well their child is doing. Sometimes they are satisfied, other times they are worried.
