Child Development Experts Dr. Emily Heisey and Dr. Matt Otteman

from Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew · host Shawn Johnson + Andrew East

Today we had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Emily Heisey (Doctor of Physical Therapy) and Dr. Matt Otteman (Doctor of Chiropractic), Co-Owners of KinActive Kids and Pediatric Development Experts! As a parent it can feel overwhelming and often intimidating to focus on each milestone your child is supposed to hit at each age group, but Dr. Emily and Dr. Matt take the stress away by showing parents easy (and super fun) ways to play with your kids while also encouraging their brain development! They offered some amazing insights into what we all can be doing to stop comparing the progress of each of our kids and start honing in on each child’s unique way of learning. Such a cool conversation- we learned so much! Love you guys!
