4 years, 2 months old
At four years old, Emma is in a wonderful phase of growing independence and imagination. You might notice her insisting on doing things "by herself" — from getting dressed to pouring her own water. This push for autonomy is healthy and age-appropriate.

Truly tailored for your family
Every parent wonders this. BrightYears offers gentle, age-specific context — not as advice, but as reassurance.
"When Oliver lines up his cars in a precise row and gets upset if they're moved, he's practicing something developmental researchers call 'ordering and organizing.' This intense focus on patterns and predictability is how three-year-olds make sense of a world that often feels chaotic..."
"We believe parenting is a relationship, not a performance. BrightYears is here to help you notice, appreciate, and connect — not to add to your to-do list."
