Child & Adolescent Development

We are so diligent about paying attention to developmental milestones in the early years. Then, suddenly, we seem to stop as kids progress through elementary school. It is very important to check in regularly with how your child is developing physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. ​We encourage you to continue to learn about how your child's brain and body are growing all the way to adulthood. Check out our favorite resources below!
