Earlier doesn’t always mean better.
Her kid walked at one year, yours walked at eighteen months, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.
Her kid potty-trained at two years old, yours didn't potty-train until four years old, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.
Her kid recognized all his letters and numbers before pre-school, yours had no interest until almost four, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.
Her kid was sleeping through the night by three months, yours wasn’t sleeping through the night until two years old, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 it doesn’t matter.
Because reaching developmental milestones early means 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 in the long run.
Because a college professor won’t wonder how old her students were when they could count to one hundred or spell their names.
And no one will know or care if the Harvard graduate or the CEO had a pacifier or didn't potty-train until five years old.
What matters most is the whole child,
who 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 are,
and how kind 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 are
So let the pressure go,
and let your kids be kids.
Don’t rush them through their childhoods,
and make them miss out
because they’re too busy meeting milestone after milestone.
Besides, earlier doesn’t always mean better.
𝘐𝘵 just means earlier.
Happy 1 year & 10 months old Anak♥️
