Elementary age
The elementary years may be the sweet spot of parenting. Kids are more independent, require less constant supervision, communicate more clearly, and often make great little sidekicks for everyday adventures.
While this stage still has its challenges, it’s a valuable window to strengthen your bond and make the most of the influence you have before the teenage years arrive.
