Sometimes we expect a problem to be solved with less work than it actually deserves. Both kids and adults fall into this trap! Kids need to be reminded that repeated practice, whether it’s with writing, running, eating, talking, etc. leads to progress. We are not looking for perfection as no one is perfect!

Knowledge is power 💡 Whether you’re currently pregnant, have a newborn, work with infants everyday… this info applies to YOU! The first 4 months are crucial to a baby’s head shape. If you’re able to spot a turn preference and flat spot within those first few months and you seek intervention, your baby will most likely have pretty good results- and maybe without a helmet if you use a Baby Begin therapist!

Did you know that even scribbling has a purpose? It shows you a lot about your child’s cognitive development! 🖍️

Speech-language development typically happens rapidly in those first few years of a child’s life. Keeping an eye on milestones is a great way to see if your child is on target or if they might need a little extra help. On average, toddlers have about these many words at these ages:

➡️ 12 months: 5+ words

➡️ 18 months: 50+ words

➡️ 24 months: 250+ words; combining two words (like “more milk”)

➡️ 36 months: 1000+ words; combining three words (like “I want swing”)

But what counts as a word? This is a helpful resource as you are keeping an eye on your child’s development!

One of the biggest reasons babies skip crawling is because they never learn transitional movements. Transitional movements are the in between of a baby getting from their back ➡️ to their belly ➡️ to hands and knees and/or sitting ➡️ then to standing. When you place your baby directly into sitting, they’re never having to learn how to get into sitting AND are much less likely to attempt to get out of sitting causing a “happy sitter” (a baby who loves to sit and wants to skip crawling). Let your new rule of thumb be: ALWAYS place baby on their back on the floor. Let them roll to their belly and problem solve where they want to go from there!

Great tips from .eat.in.color

This is a super simple recipe that also works on eating skills/sensory exploration as well as some fine motor skills.

Make a batch of plain biscuits first to compare. Many kids are nervous about food that is a different color, even though we as adults know that food coloring does not typically change the flavor of a food.

After your child tries the plain biscuit, have them try the one with food coloring in it. Does it taste different? Try a blind taste test were you rip off the different colors and have them pick one with their eyes closed. Can they guess which color they ate? If they can’t, what does that tell them about the flavor and how your eyes influence your taste of food?
