Young children are learning more than letters, numbers, and colors. They're also learning other big skills.
These skills develop over time—and understanding child development helps adults set expectations that match what young children are still learning to do.💛

The earliest years of life lay the foundation for lifelong development.
When we understand child development, we begin to see behavior as communication rather than something to correct. That shift builds stronger relationships, deeper trust, and more meaningful family engagement.

💤 The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents and caregivers share a room with their babies for at least 6-12 months but NOT share a bed. Place your baby on their back in their own crib, bassinet, or portable play yard for every sleep.

💤 Babies fall asleep in all kinds of places that aren’t good for sleep, like car seats, bouncy seats, swings, and loungers. Move them to their crib, cradle, or bassinet as soon as possible so they are both safe and comfortable.
