Parents often feel pressure to measure their child’s development against typical milestones, but it's important to recognize that each child develops at their own pace, especially for those with ADHD, autism, or anxiety. Instead of focusing on age-based comparisons, parents can support their child’s growth through scaffolding—providing support while gradually fostering independence. This approach involves assessing current skills, setting achievable goals, using supportive tools, and celebrating progress. By using positive language and avoiding comparisons, parents can create a supportive environment that nurtures their child's unique journey and strengthens their well-being.
