I wanted to look up a few milestones for DD 27 mos and ran across this, which I found to be jaw dropping:

After reading it, I saw it is actually posted for parents of gifted chilren. My gosh, this cannot be right. Are the expectations for ND children truly this low?

So off I went to the American Academy of Pediatrics, which I don't always agree with, but it is the standard. Again, I'm shocked. Are these milestones intended to be a low bar?
