Harper can run and jump, has a vocabulary of 100 or more words, can help pull up her diaper, and is beginning toilet training so the developmental milestones Harper met are A. running and jumping. This, developmental milestone, is set in specific age in order to see if the person is growing with their right behavior.

A. running and jumping

Developmental milestones are not only physical, but behavioral signs of growth and continued learning. Developmental milestones are a set of age-specific tasks and skills that most children can perform within a certain age bracket. Running and jumping are examples of developmental milestones that Harper has met.
