There are violations of gross and fine motor skills - the child has difficulty maintaining balance, often falls, is very clumsy, constantly crashes into people, furniture, walls, confuses his legs when moving them (for example, when going down the stairs).
The movements are either very slow or appear chaotic.
A three-year-old child can speak in phrases and sentences and can express his desires, thoughts and feelings in words.
At three years old, the baby should be able to say his name and age.
The child is able to perceive short stories without pictures.

At this age, the child already has a fairly large vocabulary - from 1000 words.
