Early red flags in children from birth up to age five can vary depending on the area of development (e.g., motor, communication, social, cognitive).

Here are some signs to watch for:

Infancy (0-12 months)
1. Motor Skills: Lack of rolling over, sitting up, or crawling by expected milestones.
2. Communication: No babbling or cooing by 6 months; not responding to their name.
3. Social Interaction: Limited eye contact or not showing interest in social interactions; not smiling in response to others.
Toddler (1-3 years)
1. Motor Skills: Difficulty with basic motor skills, such as walking, climbing, or using utensils.
2. Communication: Limited vocabulary for their age, not combining words into simple sentences by 2 years; difficulty understanding or following simple instructions.
3. Social Interaction: Difficulty with social play, such as not engaging in pretend play or showing little interest in playing with peers.
Preschool Age (3-5 years)
1. Motor Skills: Difficulty with tasks requiring fine motor skills, like drawing or using scissors; struggles with gross motor skills, like hopping or skipping.
2. Communication: Trouble with speech clarity or difficulty with language skills such as forming sentences, understanding stories, or following multi-step directions.
3. Social Interaction: Challenges in making friends, sharing, or understanding social cues; extreme difficulty with transitions or changes in routine.

If you notice any of these red flags, it’s important to consult a Paediatrician, Clinical Psychologist, Child Psychologist or a specialist in child development for a more thorough assessment. Early intervention can make a significant difference.
