The Observant Mom

Child developmental milestones from 18 to 72 months (up to 6 years). These are the child developmental milestones as found at The Observant Mom website but now in calendar form! Older milestones are still at the website and will be added as they are ready.


These milestones are the notorious “stages” or “phases” that children go through. These are those times when children “act up,” but it’s because new skills are emerging. This work documents both what the irritating behavior is and what the new skills are. Simply enter your child’s due date into the app, and a calendar is generated with their expected developmental milestones. Simply click on any colored date and get instant information about your child! Add as many children as you want.

The app currently offers the milestones, whereas the Observant Mom website and book series, Misbehavior is Growth, offers parenting tips and tricks for the milestones. Current work for older milestones (age 5+) can also be found at the website, The Observant Mom.
