Growing Together:
Parenting & Child Development
​
When my children were born, I thought I was the one that would be doing the teaching. I read the books, tracked the milestones, and stocked up on sensory toys. But what I didn't realize was that as they learned to walk, talk, and navigate big emotions, I was learning too - how to slow down, how to listen, how to be patient with someone still learning how to be.
​
Tantrums have tested me. "Why?" has challenged me. Every sleepy snuggle reminds me that this isn't just about raising a child - it's about becoming the kind of person they deserve to grow up with. My children have been a mirror showing me who I am. ​When they shout, I learn about my own triggers. When they love freely, I remember what that looks like.
​
Child development isn't just about their brains and bodies. It's about how we show, evolve, and meet them where they are - again and again. We're not just raising children. They are raising something in us too.
