Physical Development
Every child is different and no two children develop at the exact same rate. So how do you know whats "normal?" What are some key physical markers of an age group for you to look for in your child? We will focus on this area of development this month and share some others (cognitive, emotional, spiritual, etc.) at another time.

Question #2: What/Who has helped you know what to look for in your child's physical development?
Click below to share your thoughts, book recommendation, and blog articles on this topic. I'll compile them and share in an upcoming newsletter.

In addition to our meal packing crew we need 10-12 strong folks to help set-up the stations between the brunch and the event. Set-up requires moving 50lbs bags of rice and some large tubs of supplies...so we need some MUSCLES!!
