What is Phase? | The Elementary School Phase
Sep 24, 2025 • Adam Witter
Welcome to the elementary phase. Maybe you call it the…
“Watch me!” phase or the
“Stop copying me!” phase or the
“Can I have more screen time PLEASE” phase
As a parent, you’ve heard “it's just a phase” at least once, and usually the word Phase in this sentence means a season or stage that a kid is in that we look forward to being over. It’s kind of like we’re all saying, “it's just a phase, but don't worry it'll be over soon”.
But what if we are missing the best part? What if each stage of development is actually an opportunity and not just an obstacle that's in a kid's life?
