You’ll blink and your toddler will be going to his first day of school.
Blink again and your second-grade daughter will be getting a mobile phone.
Blink again and your middle school son will be getting a driver’s license.

Blink again and your middle school son will be getting a driver’s license.
And with every phase of your kid’s life, you’ll have to rethink how you parent.
A few years ago, Orange started a project called “It’s Just a Phase,” because they wanted to help parents show up in the right way during the phases in their kid’s life.
The point is that your son or daughter is changing every week, every month, and every year—and that means you have to change as a parent, too. You can’t parent a seven-year-old the same way you parented a three-year-old. And you can’t parent a 13-year-old the same way you parented a seven-year old.

We are here to help you learn how to leverage and anticipate every phase.
