Understanding your host child will help you be a nurturing caregiver. If you are familiar with developmental milestones you can monitor a host child’s behavior. And by being aware of their needs, you will have an easier time picking age appropriate activities. In this video we learn the importance of being tuned in to a child’s developmental needs at each age.
Remember that each child is unique. Skills are usually learned at a specific time, but children also will develop at their own pace.
