I post these things as children need to be able to regulate in order to learn. Think about the last time you lost your cool! Was it an opportune learning moment? Some children have trouble regulating and learning how to get themselves into a better state of mind. If we stay calm, it will help our children do the same!

Use your imagination! Expensive toys aren’t necessary.

Totally recommend following this page on IG. Her suggestions are all similar to what I would give and great for beginning talkers!

Let them play.

Play improves the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children. Through play, children learn about the world and themselves.

They also learn skills they need for study, work, and relationships, such as:

Confidence
Self-esteem
Resilience
Interaction
Social skills
Independence
Curiosity
Coping with challenging situations

PLAY IS GOOD FOR ADULTS TOO!!! Whether it's exercising, knitting, reading, or riding a bike-- wherever you (1) Lose sense of time (2) You do it just because you LOVE it (3) You don't feel self-conscious doing it. Play in adulthood is related to resiliency, joy, life satisfaction, and it curbs against depression and anxiety!
