Description

Never got to take home one of those sacks of flour or robotic babies in high school? 


Don't worry, you didn't miss much. In fact, that experience taught frightfully little about the intricacies of child development and how parents can best support their children at every age.


That's what this course in designed for.


Once inside, you will learn: 

  • the developmental milestones that are present at every age

  • how development grows and builds on itself to make children more successful in later stages

  • common behaviors (both the good and the bad) that you'll see as your child grows and ages

  • what you can do to support your child's development at each stage of their childhood

  • what to do if your child doesn't seem to be on track, or isn't progressing appropriately


So, if you're a parent who feels like you're "missing the manual," this a a good place to start.


In fact, this course is perfect for you if:

  • you are a parent of a child who is between the ages of 0-18

  • you became a parent on "accident" and you want more information about what the next 18 years will entail

  • you're a new parent, and don't have many nieces, nephews, or friends' kids to "practice on"

  • you want to maximize your impact and make sure your children have everything they need to be successful

  • you are considering having children and you're wondering what it will be like and what your experience might entail


Because there's a frightfully limited amount of information about this out there.


And while we can't give you the manual that no child comes with (because kids aren't standardized), we can share the universal truths we know to be true about children and people, so we can raise our children a little more intentionally.

Who this course is for:

  • Parents with Children ages birth - 18
