Welcome back! Today is the beginning of our spring season and we're kicking off with a discussion on being behind – how do we know if our child is behind? Some say being behind isn't even a thing! And is it important to have standards? Can't my child just develop at his own pace? You're going to love this conversation!

It's our birthday and we're giving you presents! Come join us in the Scholé Sistership ASAP because we have a giveaway every day of the week leading up to our 10th anniversary episode.
