Stage Two:

Learning About DOING THINGS

Six Months to Eighteen Months

"We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

On the right are links to material especially for parents of children in the second stage of life, some information for parents of children under six, and many articles for all parents who want to raise children to become resourceful, resilient and compassionate adults. Also, if you have other children, be sure to check out their stages by clicking on the buttons on the left. And don't forget your own stage of growth, the rest of life.

Special Presentation

I highly recommend you view a brief presentation of words of encouragement to get an overview of how important it is for parents to understand the developmental needs of children.
