Re: A radical idea - viewing kids as babies till 5
Thank you, I struggle with this because my 4 year old is as big as an average 6 year old, and shows great maturity in some things, and sometimes it takes my by surprise to realize he is only 4, and I have to catch myself when I realize I starting to expect him to act the age he looks and not the age he is.
