✨Grateful & Happy to Share✨

I received an award yesterday at the IAP–BPS meet for my case presentation on a high-risk newborn.
A proud moment and a reminder of why this work matters so much. 💛

👶 Neurodevelopmental follow-up is essential for all NICU graduates.
Let’s move away from a “wait and watch” approach — early identification and early intervention can change a child’s entire trajectory.

Every small milestone matters.
Every timely referral matters.
Every empowered parent matters. 🌱

🙏 A special thank you to the parents who work tirelessly, follow through with guidance, and make all the difference. Their dedication truly shapes outcomes. 💛

How and When To Start Training?
1 ½-2 years, based on your child’s readiness.

The child should have the ability to remove pants, understand words (p*e and p**p), interested to learn and copy and dry for at least two hours.

Next, Get rid of diapers.
Parents are motivated! Do not scold them for errors but rather catch them good - make the learning easy and fun to avoid power struggles

What is Socio-Emotional Wellbeing?

It is the ability to express emotions, understand how others feel and be able to function well in the society. Socio- emotional development follows a sequence.

It is influenced by environmental, genetic and life experiences. A child raised in a safe and nurturing environment can handle stress later in life better. But a child exposed to stress and traumatic experiences, early in life may suffer from consequences in the future.
Healthy socio-emotional development ensures adequate development across all other domains of a child’s development.
Be aware of the socio-emotional milestones

The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends a prescription for play !

Importance of play cannot be highlighted more. We as parents only focus on the academics and forget the serious business -play

Play teaches a child so many things-social skills, helps in language and communication, problem solving, dealing with success and failure , so on so forth
