Would you rather spend an hour getting permanent marker off the living room wall or scrub glitter out of the family dog's fur?😅

SECOND CHANCE SATURDAY

As promised, today I’m sharing I Am 2.

Following yesterday’s I Am 1, we’re continuing the Brain Development Series with another stage in a child’s incredible journey of development.

The Brain Development Series follows children’s development from ages 1–25, helping explain what is happening inside the developing brain at each stage. Every child develops at their own pace, but understanding the journey can help us respond with greater patience, confidence and understanding.

Today’s post explores the exciting stage where independence grows, curiosity explodes and those famous words… “Me do it!” become part of everyday life.

Save this post so you can come back to it as your child grows.
Tap the image, then the three dots (•••) and select Save. You can build your own library of every age in the series as they’re released.
