The way you RESPOND to your baby or toddler's communication attempts can have a DIRECT impact on their language development 🤯🤯🤯

In 2019, the American Academy of Pediatrics completed two meta-analyses that looked at the association between child language and parental responsiveness and warmth. (Madigan, Prime, Graham, Rodrigues, Anderson, Khoury, & Jenkins, 2019).

The researchers found that both sensitive-responsiveness and warmth had significant associations with child language – in fact, children who received responsive and warm parenting had a 2.8-fold increase in odds of acquiring stronger language skills than those who didn’t.

So this means one of the BEST ways to increase your child's language is to RESPOND to as many of their communication attempts as you can.

It is also important to do this in a way that models one step ABOVE their communication level.

SAVE this chart to refer back to as your child LEVELS UP!

There is so much guilt that comes with motherhood.

"I'm not doing enough of this", "I need to serve more vegetables " "They have too much screentime".... the list goes on and on.

This list is lengthened even more when your child has high support needs and complex communication needs.

Therapists, it is SO IMPORTANT to remind your families that they are doing enough. Help them ease their guilt by reminding them of everything good that they do.

Remind them that it's OK if they didn't get to work on the homework for the week or if they didn't practice using their device.

Sometimes communication isn't the priority for families for a number of reasons. Maybe the child isn't sleeping, has health complications, or is experiencing a spike in behaviors due disregulation.

Let's help our families ease their guilt instead of adding on to it.

Parents, IT IS OK to take a break. It is OK if there are other priorities in your child's life. Communication isn't ALWAYS the priority.

At the end of the day, a child's basic needs must be met before they can access communication.

Parents, I see you. I feel your exhaustion and your desperate need for a few moments of peace.

I GET IT.

I'm embarrassed to say that pre-child me, spouted off the no screentime recommendation and thought I would follow it to a T.

HA. HA. HA. HA.

Man was the joke on me.

We've been fighting ALOT of illness in my house the past 2 months.

And in all honesty it means there's been more screentime than I would normally do.

But guess what? That's ok!
