About the event

Understanding How Children Hear, Think & Feel at Every Age 🧠💬

Ever found yourself repeating the same thing again and again, only to feel ignored, frustrated, or misunderstood? You’re not alone. Many parents struggle not because they’re saying the wrong things — but because children process words, emotions, and expectations very differently at each stage of development.

This interactive parenting session is designed to help you understand what your child is actually capable of hearing, understanding, and responding to — from early childhood through the teenage years.


🔎 What We’ll Explore Together

✔️ Age-wise insight: Understand how children think and process information at different developmental stages — from the concrete thinking of younger children to the emotional and cognitive complexity of teens.

✔️ Practical communication tools: Learn research-backed strategies such as replacing commands with collaboration, acknowledging feelings instead of dismissing them, and using problem-solving language that invites cooperation.
