Why Every Child Develops Differently at Millrose Therapy

At Millrose Therapy, we understand that every child is unique, and so is their journey of development. Parents often compare milestones and worry when their child seems to be behind. However, it's important to remember that no two children grow or learn in exactly the same way.

Understanding Individual Development

Development is influenced by a combination of genetics, environment, personality, and life experiences. Some children may speak early, while others may excel physically before using many words. All of these paths are valid.

Factors That Influence Development:

  1. Genetics – Each child has their own inherited traits that affect how they grow and learn.

  2. Environment – A child’s home, school, and daily surroundings shape how they explore the world.

  3. Health and Nutrition – Proper nutrition and overall health can support or delay development.

  4. Personality and Temperament – Some children are naturally more curious or cautious, which can impact how quickly they reach milestones.

  5. Life Experiences – Exposure to language, play, and social situations all play a role in development.
