My guest today is Dr. Jason Kahn, a Developmental Psychiatrist out of Harvard. We all know how important milestones are in child development, and the role they play in detecting early signs of autism but do you know when should be worrying about a missed milestone, and when we should just give our kids a little more time? Dr. Kahn is here to help us navigate this and gain some peace of mind. Link to enter the Mightier Giveaway: https://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/06ca993f46/?
