This document lists core red flags that may indicate developmental delays in pediatrics. It includes delays or loss of milestones, abnormal muscle tone, hand preference before 18 months, abnormal head circumference growth, persistent primitive reflexes past typical ages, and lack of skills like social smiling, eye contact, sitting, walking, and pointing by certain ages. The red flags should prompt further evaluation by medical professionals.
