Caring for a child raises a wide array of concerns, worries and scary moments. Parents watch as a young child starts turning on a bed, crawls and eventually walks. As a parent, you see how your child plays with toys and shows interest in specific games while ignoring other games. In many cases, physical therapy is not a necessary part of raising a child because he/she grows and develops at a normal rate. Unfortunately, some situations do require the assistance of a physical therapist.
