Ask a four-year-old to reason calmly and he cannot — not because he is defiant, but because you are asking for something that is not yet in him.
Offer a nine-year-old nothing but repetition and he will wither, because his mind has woken and is now hungry for something you are not giving him.
The child is not failing us. We are meeting him a season too early, or a season too late.
This guide walks through five stages, birth through twelve. For each one: what is happening inside him, what you may notice, what those behaviors actually mean, and how to meet him there.
