Raleigh parents could see changes to which school employees are taking on certain responsibilities for their children. Wake County Public School System plans to increase staff training, create more assigned roles for staff, more data analysis and more support for schools when cases become challenging. This could be a welcome change for a school district that serves about 20,000 students with disabilities & has faced challenges with adequately staffing special education positions. What do you think about these changes?

The changes come three years after the district first received a report from an education consulting firm informing them of major issues with staff training, poorly defined staff roles and problematic communication with parents.

Do you have a difficult time engaging your young child in play?

So much of the time as adults, we can find ourselves trying to get a child to engage in play the way we think it should be done.

Here is the first tip to help get your child engaged in play by first meeting them at their current level and then helping them to meet greater and greater challenges.

These strategies come from a Natural Learning Environment Practice model that focuses on using what your child is interested in.

The first step to engaging a child in play is to invite them into the activity. Some ways to do this include:

⭐ Get down on your child’s level: bend or squat down, or sit at a table with your child so you can see them eye to eye. This will help get their attention. Once you are eye to eye with your child, match their facial expression. Smile if they’re smiling, frown if they are frowning.

⭐ Match the tone of voice of your child (if they’re excited speak in an excited voice if they’re sad speak in a sad voice).

⭐If your child is open to taking your hand and being guided to an activity try reaching your hand out to them. If they are not open to holding your hand, gesture for your child to come over and join you in an activity.

Transition Tip: Have your child hold an object when it’s time to transition.

There may be an object that naturally fits the setting like a new backpack for going back to school. If your child is having a hard time going back to school letting them pick out a new backpack they use just for school may make the transition easier.

Your child can tell if you believe in them or not, which will greatly impact their life. When your child knows that you believe in them, it gives them the motivation to overcome a short attention span and encourages them to try harder.

Your child’s belief in themselves stems from your belief in them. How do you show your child you believe in them? Let us know in the comments 🙂
