What should I do if my grandson is suspected of being mentally retarded?

Patient's question:

7 months and still cannot sit up

Doctor's answer:

Except for those related to diseases, nutrition, or congenital deficiencies, most cases are directly associated with insufficient early education, particularly inadequate motor training. Generally, children can practice sitting independently at around five months old. It is recommended to have a comprehensive medical examination to identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment. If the child is affected by neonatal diseases, parents must take them to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misconceptions. Timely and targeted treatment is essential. For parents, closely observing changes in the child's symptoms and providing every possible assistance in seeking timely medical treatment is crucial.
