The safest way for your baby to sleep is in their own bed. But that doesn't mean they have to be far away. Putting your baby in a crib or pack and play in your room is the best way to keep them close AND safe. ❤️

This is a critical time for children to develop confidence in all areas of life, such as through friends, schoolwork, and sports. Here is a quick positive parenting tip to help you support your child during this time:

Toddler brains are still very much under construction 🧠🚧

They aren’t trying to be “bad” when they have a tantrum, they’re just overwhelmed by big feelings and missing the words to express them. That said, it still doesn’t make it easy! You’re not a bad mom, dad, grandparent or caregiver if tantrums occasionally push you to your limit.

Activity: Take Time to Watch (0-5years)

Brainy Background: When you're in tune with your child, you'll be able to pay attention to their needs and interests. This deepens the trust between you. Your child needs this security to reach out into the world to explore, experiment, discover, and learn.

Actividad: Tómese el tiempo para observar

Uso: En cualquier momento, En cualquier lugar

Descripción: Tómate un minuto para observar a tu niño el día de hoy. Presta atención a lo que mira, cómo se mueve, cómo se escucha, y qué está aprendiendo. Incluso cuando estés ocupado, responde a lo que tu niño está aprendiendo para profundizar tu conexión con él.

Fondo Inteligente: Cuando estás en sintonía con tu niño, puedes prestar atención a sus necesidades e intereses. Esto profundiza la confianza entre ustedes, le da a tu niño la seguridad que necesita para explorar el mundo, experimentar, descubrir y aprender.

When reading with a child with a speech and language delay, they may not understand every word, but will enjoy cuddling with you to share a book. Over time, reading aloud can also strengthen speech and language skills and is a way to give your child a gift that will last a lifetime—a love of books!

If your child has a speech and language delay and reading together is a challenge, consider implementing these tips during your next reading session:

1. Read together when it’s fun and relaxing. Younger children may be easily distracted, so start by reading for just a few minutes at a time.

2. Read the same story many times. Children enjoy the repetition and it helps them learn language.

3. Use books with rhymes or songs. Clap along to the rhythm and help your child clap with you. As the child grows, suggest filling in words. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder…”

4. Point to pictures and talk about them. “Look at the silly monkey!” And ask your child to point at certain things. “Where’s the cat?”

5. Talk about things in the story that your child knows. That bear has blue pajamas just like you!”

6. Ask questions about the story. “Is that bunny hiding?” As your child grows, ask harder questions. “What do you think will happen next?”
