The first year of life lays the neurological foundation for everything that follows. In this free course, Dr. Josh Madsen - a board-certified functional neurologist - walks you through exactly what should develop and when, so you can help your baby hit every milestone, or go back and rebuild the ones an older child may have missed.

So many kids who come into the office with learning, behavioral, or attention issues share one thing in common: they missed key developmental milestones in their first year of life.
Too many parents are told it's fine that their child never crawled, or that walking early is a sign they're advanced - when these can actually point to abnormal primitive-reflex development. This course gives new parents the information they were never handed: the exact neurological steps a child should move through in year one, why each one matters, and how to support them. And if your child is older and already struggling, it shows you which foundations to go back and rebuild.
From the full milestone timeline to stage-by-stage development from birth to twelve months - each lesson builds on the last so you always know what should be happening and when.
The time frames every motor milestone should fall within during the first year, so you know exactly what to look for and when, instead of guessing or relying on opinions.
What healthy neurological development looks like from birth to three months, the reflexes that should be emerging, and how to support them from day one.
The three-to-six-month window in depth, plus extra hands-on tips to encourage the movements and reflexes your baby should be developing during this stage.
How development should unfold from six to twelve months - including why crawling matters and why 'early' walking isn't always a good sign - so your child reaches the year mark on solid footing.
Most parents are never taught what to watch for in the first year, so problems slip by unnoticed until school age. This course hands you the same developmental roadmap a pediatric functional neurologist uses, in plain language you can act on at home.
Five video lessons that walk you through the entire first year - from the full milestone timeline to stage-by-stage development from birth to twelve months.
"You'll learn a ton about what should happen in that first year of life - and really be able to help your kids grow and develop the way they should.
