Late Bloomers

Monte (my husband) and I are both late bloomers so we are not so quick to write people off. Particularly for children, some may develop at a faster rate at a later stage. For instance, the mental capabilities of a kid may not be fully developed between age of seven to twelve. And then all of a sudden, the kid springs into action in his or her teenage years. Imagine the loss we could have incurred if we are too quick to label them as underachievers. In educating and helping children to grow and develop, we as caregivers or educators need to lovingly guide and help our young people to reach their fullest potential. Every rough stone can be a gem someday.
