#24 There is Time: Embracing the Process
I constantly have this inching feeling as a parent to see my children progress, or hit the next developmental stage, and then regularly have to put myself in check and tell myself to chill out. Why do we constantly have this feeling? What do we need to understand as adults about child development to better embrace this process? These are questions Neil Plimmer and myself are going to discuss on this episode!
In addition we will discuss why there is time, how progression looks, and how long your junior golfer might stay in a particular developmental stage so that we as adults can have a piece of mind and be able to relax and enjoy the journey even more!
