Any tips for recording and observing development at home?

1) Jot down "the day it happened" (first steps, and so on). 2) Once a month, film the same kind of moment on video. 3) Instead of "can't do it," write down "how far they can go" (for example, can sit with support). These three are plenty. Your records become wonderful material for appointments and intervention consultations, and they also help you as a parent truly feel your child's growth.
