My thoughts on Child Development

We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt



This video is from Jimmy Kimmel Live. I chose this video because it shows that children at all different ages learn from people around them. Some are more resilient when they hear the news that their parents ate all their Halloween candy, and others are not.  Some use language, cognitive skills or gross motor skills to show their frustration with their parents. The last set of brothers give their mom a good lecture on why it is not healthy to eat so much candy. Children do listen to what we tell them, so always be mindful of what things you chose to say.
