Unlocking Potential: How Parenting in Ages 5-10 Shapes Lifelong Development

The Fathering Project Podcast

In this episode, we explore a critical yet often overlooked phase of parenting: the 5-10 year window. While the first five years are widely recognised as foundational for a child’s development, many parents may not realise that the 5-10 years are just as crucial. This period paves the way for smoother teen years and sets the stage for successful adulthood.

We’re joined by Dr. Norman Swan, who will discuss insights from his new bookSo You Want to Know What's Good for your Kids?, where he highlights the importance of these formative years and shares practical advice for guiding your children through this key stage of growth. Don't miss this valuable conversation about how to navigate and make the most of this pivotal time in your child's life.
