When your kid has a sudden and unexpected increase in size, clearly that’s called a growth spurt. But what do you call it when your child seems to mature mentally suddenly and unexpectedly almost overnight? Jodie and I have both noticed a major change this weekend in Jaimee’s maturity level. She has become independent (wants and can do pretty much everything herself) and her language skills have improved immensely.
Katlyn went through a steady maturity process, so this “spurt” is completely new to us and very impressive to watch.
That of course begs the question when you will have your maturity spurt! ZING!
