Wrong. The idea that there is a “best” or “worst” age for children is a nonsense. And actually a bit offensive to individual children. There is no such thing as best and worst times. It’s another myth peddled to feed the narcissism around parenting. After all, who is defining this halcyon/horrific time? The adult, of course. And why should childhood be about the experience of the parent and what bits of it they love and hate the most? It’s a selfish way to look at childhood.
