📚 Why Reading to Your Child Matters 📚

Did you know that even a few minutes of reading each day can make a big difference in your child’s development?

Reading together helps:
• Build early language and communication skills
• Strengthen attention and listening
• Boost imagination and creativity
• Create special bonding moments that kids remember forever 💙

Whether it’s a bedtime story, a picture book, or a quick read during the day, consistency is key. Little moments add up!

What’s your child’s favorite book right now? Share it in the comments — we love seeing what our Lake Pediatrics families are reading! 📖✨

Pitter-patter, there goes Baby walking and running! 👶 Here's the link to our therapist-approved article on tips for buying shoes for Baby: https://pathways.org/when-do-babies-start-wearing-shoes?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=general&utm_content=article

While socks and booties are great for the first year, Baby doesn’t need actual shoes until they’re older. Putting shoes on too early may make getting the hang of walking a little bit harder, because they limit Baby’s foot movement.

➡️ Recommendation: Before Baby gets a handle on walking, barefoot is better!
