Knowledge of Child Development is when families learn how their children grow and develop.
Parent/caregivers gain understanding of child development and parenting strategies that advance positive development. Caregivers gain understanding of their child’s behavior and stage of maturity both physically and mentally. They understand brain development and how the impact of trauma can affect the developing brain.
When parents/caregivers understand child development, they will…
Have accurate expectations.
Be more empathetic and validate their children.
Be able to have more patience with children.
