How do I gauge my child's development after age 5?
After age 5, one thing to gauge your child's development is obviously you need to visit your pediatrician, full exams, talking about development with your doctor. The other is school, talking to the teachers, seeing how your child is doing compared to others. Now, in general we don't want to compare but the masses are a good comparison. And if the teacher says, "Oh, your child is doing basically what everybody else is doing," that's a good sign. If it seems like they are not achieving to where everybody else is that would be another reason to talk to your doctor and see if there's a more special course that we can take.
