Flamingo Stand

Child stands on one foot for at least two seconds without holding on. Covers two overlapping milestones (Denver II 42-48mo, Stanford 46-62mo). Parent times the balance attempt, observes arm use, and progresses from 2-second target to 5-second challenge and foot-switching. Safety: no elevated surfaces.
