Parenting Doesn't Get Less Magical After the Age of 4—It Keeps Getting Better
This Instagram post reminds us that, despite what we're told, the best moments don't stop coming after early childhood.
Recently, a very popular sound has invaded parents' social media pages.
The speech, originally by psychologist Jordan Peterson, advises parents that the years until the age of 4 are "a peak experience," reminding parents that "if you miss it, it's done. That's it." Twangy guitar and emotional piano swell. Parents cry and hug their confused children watching TV nearby.
As this has made the rounds, many have voiced heartfelt agreement, while others have felt that it's an opinion that fosters guilt and ignores many of the great experiences parents see in later childhood.
