Stage Five:
Learning About STRUCTURE and SKILL
Six Years to Thirteen Years
"Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them."
— James Baldwin
"Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions — everyone but a school bus driver."
— Anonymous
On the right are links to material especially for parents of children in the fifth stage of life, some information for parents of children between the ages of six and nineteen, 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.
