Monitor Development: Track a child's growth and development and provide positive feedback on progress. Address Concerns: Help identify and address any issues that might be hindering a child's development or self-esteem. Collaborate with Other Professionals: Work with psychologists, educators, and other professionals to create a supportive environment for the child.
