Why Understanding Child Development is Crucial for Parents

Nurturing the Heart of a Child - A podcast by Dr. Barbara Sorrels and Krista Macias

Having an understanding of child development is absolutely crucial for parents who desire to nurture the heart of their child.  All behavior has a reason behind it and without an understanding of the developmental stages, a parent often wrongly assumes a motive or has inappropriate expectations of their child.  In this episode we will give examples of behaviors that are because of a developmental incapacity rather than "bad behavior" or outright disobedience.  We hope to equip parents with a new eyes to see and understand their children, so that they can come alongside and be the guides and teachers their children so desperately need.
