The Milestones that (Actually) Matter with Kier Gaines
We’re trying to equip our children with the skills they need while questioning what others deem important. In today’s episode Jenna is joined by Kier Gaines, a licensed therapist, former special education teacher, content creator and father. Kier and Jenna share what milestones (actually) matter most to them, which ones they’re working on and which ones we can spend less time thinking about. At Begin, we’re convinced that children are capable of academic success and self-worth. We’re committed to moving away from outdated benchmarks that neglect our child’s sense of wonder and recentering their milestones around self-discovery and exploring the world around them.
