• The Period of Purple Crying (for newborns)

• Social Emotional Development (Birth to age 3)

  A child’s social-emotional development is as important as her brain and physical development. It is her desire to connect with others that motivates her to learn. And her sense of who she is in the world deeply impacts how much and how well she learns, as well as the quality of the relationships she builds with others.
