Making focused observations about developmental progress and behavioral patterns should be an integral part of each pediatric encounter—in the office or clinic, during acute visits and those for chronic conditions, in the emergency department or an inpatient setting, and during telephone calls. Careful observations and active inquiries about developmental milestones and behaviors provides clinicians with clinical insights into the child and the family.1 Children can be our guides.
