Not all input supports the brain in the same way 🧠
On one side, everyday moments like play, connection, stories, questions and new words help build strong foundations for communication, learning and regulation. These experiences invite interaction, curiosity and shared attention.. all things developing brains thrive on.
On the other side, things like too much screen time, rushed conversations, limited interaction and overstimulation can still serve a purpose at times, but they don’t offer the same depth of brain-building support when they become the main source of input.
It’s not about cutting things out completely, but about noticing what helps your child’s brain grow, connect and communicate best, and finding a balance that works for your family.
If you’re unsure what that balance looks like for your child, our OT and Speech Pathology team can help, in person or via Telehealth 🧡
