STAGES OF CHILDREN
What occurs in the development of infants to young adults are genetically determined.
Stages is a term used to outline key periods in the human development. My goal is to help parents understand what is taking place in their child's body.
Parents need to provide necessary support, structure and encouragement to enable a child to progress in each stages they pass through successfully.

INFANTS {0-2years}
90% of our first time mothers find this stage exciting and challenging to raise a baby. Now let's look at the stage of an INFANT.
TODDLERS [2-5years]
This is a new phase in development.
During this stage, a major challenge is developed what psychologists call emotional regulation but parents can use the bond developed during infancy to help the child learn to adjust their emotional expression.
SCHOOL AGE {6-12years}
This stage is awesome and lovely. Watching your children learn new activities. They become smarter.
ADOLESCENTS/TEENAGERS [13-18years]
This stage is a big challenge to parents and it becomes more difficult in raising the child.
This stage is the time to begin to define oneself and to contemplate on the future
During adolescence stage, kids need their parents but their ego becomes a barrier to open up and the parents need to be in open parent-child communication. Adolescence will go through a lot of challenges and the parents need to support, monitor and encourage them.
