What video to prepare before a child development consultation
A good video shows ordinary behavior, not a perfect exercise. In Stage 1 files are not uploaded through the website.
What to show
Short calm clips work best: the child on the back, on the tummy, during play, reaching for a toy or trying to change position. The full body should be visible.
What to avoid
Do not force a skill if the child is tired, crying or resisting. Do not film unsafe positions or repeat internet exercises without understanding the purpose.
Safe file transfer
In Stage 1 the public form does not accept videos. Later stages will use a secure platform with a private account.
When in-person consultation is needed
If acute or worrying symptoms appear, use in-person/emergency care instead of waiting for an online answer.
