What makes Dr. Amie Dougherty with Milestones At Play Physical Therapy &amp; Wellness a good neighbor?When should my baby roll over? Is tummy time really that important? Dr. Amie Dougherty of Milestones at Play Physical Therapy and Wellness answers these questions and more in this enlightening conversation about pediatric physical therapy and early childhood development. Drawing from nearly 13 years of experience working with children from birth to five years old, Dr. Dougherty shares her unique approach to helping little ones achieve crucial gross motor milestones. Unlike traditional therapy models that often require months of weekly sessions, her proactive, private-pay method empowers parents with the knowledge to support their child's development at home, often requiring just a handful of targeted sessions. "Development is on a continuum," Dr. Dougherty explains, addressing the anxiety many parents feel when comparing their child to others. She breaks down the "mini milestones" that build toward major achievements like rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking, offering reassurance to concerned parents while emphasizing the importance of symmetrical movement and proper head control along the way. Perhaps most valuable is Dr. Dougherty's discussion of navigating parenting advice in the digital age. In a world of "Dr. Google" and social media information overload, she advocates consulting specialists directly rather than falling down internet research rabbit holes that often increase parental anxiety without providing accurate solutions. By focusing on parent education and empowerment, Milestones at Play helps families support their children's development without adding to their already full parental to-do lists.
