Summary

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. You could win sticker packs, Scholé Sisters T-shirts — even a copy of the most-mentioned book from all of our episodes so far. The Scholé Sisters podcast began in February of 2016 and we think 10 years is a pretty big accomplishment. Come and celebrate with us! Just go to https://www.scholesisters.com/join and sign up.
