Family Forum: Chronological v. Developmental Age
June 21 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
Family Forums are held on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, and are intended to be a time of education, constructive dialogue, and support. Occasionally, topics of particular interest may also be discussed during a lunch hour forum.
Understanding Chronological v. Developmental Age
Many foster and adoptive families struggle with knowing how to parent to a child’s developmental or emotional age vs. their chronological age. But many foster and adopted children function at a younger age than their biological age — which makes this topic a critical one for parents to understand and learn to navigate.
