Stages

The growth ruler

Six stages, like the pencil marks on a doorframe. Each will get its own page: what’s typical, what varies enormously, and what’s worth reassessing in six months — always with the sources in plain sight.

stages are maps, not territories — every child travels them their own way, and so does yours

Each cell takes you to the library already filtered by that age. The full stage guides — written with cited evidence from serious institutions and put through editorial review — arrive with launch and in the weeks that follow.

What every stage page promises

What’s typical

The traits serious research describes for the stage — cited and linked, never hearsay.

What varies enormously

The most important section: the huge ranges of normal, to defuse comparison and panic.

What to try and what to reassess

Activities from the library for today, and the questions worth asking yourself again six months from now.
