Apple Podcasts5Community Hospital RehabUnited States6 years ago - Great for people who care about kids
This podcast isn’t just for parents. Anyone who has a connection to a child will benefit. Knowing how to make great additions to Baby Shower gifts, birthday gifts for children, and even books and activities to keep on hand for when the nieces and nephews visit. I love this informative and in depth view of child development and psychology as it ties into the books they read and how they read.
Highly recommend!
