In many Indian households, there’s a common scene that plays out quietly, sometimes over years — a child isn’t sitting up yet, doesn’t walk when others their age are running around, or keeps one hand clenched in a tight little fist. Initially, it’s brushed off with comments like “sab kuch time se hota hai” or “shaant nature ka baccha hai.” But when those missed milestones stack up, when walking, holding, even simple play becomes difficult — parents are left worried, confused, and alone with a diagnosis that sounds heavy: Cerebral Palsy.
