摘要：

Background: Child development is the process by which children's skill development is acquired over predictable times recognized as developmental milestones. A set of practical abilities or tasks that most children can execute by a certain age constitute a developmental milestone. Aims: To assess the parents' level of awareness regarding a child's developmental milestone, as well as the correlation between some demographic factors and the parents' knowledge about the child's development. Methodology: This study is based on cross-sectional study design. A sample of 406 parents was taken by convenient sampling technique among the community of Al-Kharj City, Saudi Arabia from October 2022. To measure parents' understanding of the developmental milestones of their children, a structured questionnaire was employed. Results: Saudi parents have adequate knowledge about child development in the areas of physical and language development as overall percentages of correct answers regarding language and physical development were 68% and 60%, respectively, while they have inadequate knowledge about cognitive and social development, with the overall percentages of correct answers being 45% and 49%, respectively. Conclusion: Cognitive, emotional and social growths are less well-known than language and physical development. The results of child development may be improved by strategies to raise awareness of developmental milestones and information on how to encourage optimal growth.
