Measuring child development starts by collecting responses to developmental milestones, such as "able to sit" or "says two words". There are many ways to combine such responses into summaries. The package bundles publicly available datasets with individual milestone data for children aged 0-5 years, with the aim of supporting the construction, evaluation, validation and interpretation of methodologies that aggregate milestone data into informative measures of child development.
