I really liked how short the videos are. I think it is very parent-friendly and I also liked how you have concrete examples of what it looks like with your own child (who is incredibly cute I might add). It was nice to see the strategies in place and being given good examples of the activities that can be used at home. Thank you!!

FAQ

How old should my child be if I want to take this course?

How long is each lesson?
