Child Development

Parenting - the hardest job in the world. Nurturing healthy children and bringing them up to be the best adults they can be is, to say the least, daunting. Our team has pulled together everything we have on this topic that can help you navigate this path. From understanding why attachment is so crucial, to knowing that a child dealing with toxic stress is actually stunted, to checking out the ages and stages of development that are "normal", to knowing if your child is actually normal. We also have the full lectures and interviews from the Child Development and Community Conference. One of the speakers, child and family therapist Jennifer Kolari, came in to talk with Cheryl Jackson about how positive parenting affects a child's brain. Like we said, parenting - the hardest job in the world.
