About this app

Developmental stages of children aged 18 months to 8 years!
These are the child developmental milestones as found for free at the popular Observant Mom website—but now in calendar form!
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.
Countless have said that this work helps them stay patient as a parent or caregiver. Be sure to share this information with family and friends. It’s not misbehavior: it’s growth!

I've been using the website for a few years now so as soon as I saw the email about this app, I had to get it. My youngest turns 4 in 2 weeks, which is the current age cut off. But it does say more ages will be added when they're finalised. I've had a play with the app & it's super easy to use. It's now more like a follow on for The Wonder Weeks, which is every mum's survival guide! And much easier than having to negotiate the web page. Thanks for making this app! I look forward to age updates

We have been using the website for a while and super glad that the app is out. It is very simple and easy to use. Having wonder weeks for babies, we were left with a gap when the kids went past it. Observant mum has been spot on. The information is gold. Can't wait for the addition of 4 years, and perhaps expansion of features in the future.

Really informative app which gives so much more understanding to young children's behaviour in an easily understood format. Definitely more of a guide than a instruction manual though, I've found that though the order of milestones is pretty accurate, the timings haven't matched up for my son. There's a huge wealth of information here that could be studied further.

Thank you so much for your review! The app allows you to adjust the entered due/birth date. Adjusting this might help the timeline match up better, if anything, for convenience. I do have some plans to indeed take the information and study it further for timing and even incorporate it into the app...as time, money, etc., allow.
