Growing Kids, Year By Year (Ages 2-8): Episode 357



Language leaps, school milestones, growing bodies . . . a lot happens on the journey from toddler to big kid! Join Meagan and Sarah as we try to capture the true essence of ages two through eight. We’ll talk through each year, sharing memories of our own kids and observations from all the little ones we’ve known. There are ages that feel like major transition points and many times where kids’ skills don’t quite match up with their wants. If you’re parenting in the trenches, looking ahead at what’s to come, OR looking back with us, we think you’ll love this one. Enjoy!

    I would love to hear about print magazine. Specifically one for moms and parents. Ever since I’ve had my child it seems that all of the magazines focused towards moms and parents have been canceled Or no longer printing. Including Parents magazine.
