Is my child NORMAL? Part 2: Sitting! (Is my child's sitting normal?)

Hi there and welcome to Part 2 of the "Is my child normal?" series. In this episode, we talk about sitting; the development of this skill, factors that could influence its progress, and how you can check at home to see if your child is progressing as expected.
I do cover a couple of tests in this one, and if you aren't sure about the tests or the results, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me through a private message.
Otherwise - enjoy the video! See you next time :)
