We all want the best for our children and are filled with hopes and expectations for them from the moment they are born. As they grow, it’s so difficult not to compare your child to their same age peers. My first son, Cody, who’s now six, was a very late crawler and walker. He did not crawl until 11 months and didn’t take his first steps until 16 months. Several of my friends and I were pregnant at the same time and it just so happened that we all had boys! It was very difficult not to feel badly about what Cody wasn’t doing compared to my friend’s babies. It would have been easy to brush it off and say he was just a late bloomer, but instead I wanted the opinions of professionals.

The school year is in full swing by now and all of the anxieties and tears are gone. Just because the school supply list is taken care of and your child has settled into the routine doesn’t mean your job is done. Parents should remain an active part of their child’s education throughout each school year
