They are also developing bonds of love and trust with their parents and others as part of social and emotional development. The way you cuddle, hold, and play with your baby will set the basis for how they will interact with you and others. Here is a positive parenting quick tip to help you support your baby during this time:

The fall and winter holidays are a time when families may have more
medicines in the home to help treat runny noses, coughs, and aches that
come with virus season. As you prepare for the holidays, create a plan to
store your medicines safely. Keep all medicines, vitamins, and other
supplements, including those in gummy form, up and away and out of
children’s reach and sight. Find more helpful tips at UpAndAway.org.

Did You Know?

Last year, for the first time, autism prevalence was higher among Hispanic children (3.2%) than among white children (2.4%).

Despite the increase in prevalence, autism is still often misunderstood or stigmatized in Hispanic communities. Many people believe that autism is the result of bad parenting, leading to shame or fear seeking a diagnosis.

Many Hispanic families in the U.S. who speak limited or no English also face language barriers, making it more difficult to access autism services or care.

To close this gap, Autism Speaks is committed to providing resources and supports in Spanish.

Your child is at an age where they are learning about weather and other scientific concepts. Try this reflection activity with your child next time you are spending time together outside.

Activity: Our Weather Wrap-Up (2 years - 5 years)

Use: Anytime, Anywhere

Description: When you come in from outside, have a chat with your child about the weather. Were you hot or cold? Make sure you use simple sentences, but add bigger words, too.

Brainy Background: Talking with your child about their world helps to build their brain. Remember to ask questions: "Did your coat keep you warm?" And build on what they say: "The wind made me shiver just like you!"

Actividad: Conversación sobre el clima (2 años - 5 años)

Uso: En cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar

Descripción: Cuando entras de afuera, habla con tu niño sobre el estado del tiempo. ¿Tenían calor o frío? Asegúrate de usar frases simples, pero también agrega palabras más complicadas.

Fondo Inteligente: Hablar con tu niño sobre su experiencia lo ayuda a desarrollar su cerebro. Recuerda hacer preguntas, "¿Tu abrigo te mantuvo caliente hoy?" Y añade a lo que te diga "El viento me hizo temblar, ¡igual que a ti!".

Healthy eating is important at every age. Eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy or fortified soy alternatives. When deciding what to eat or drink, choose options that are full of nutrients and limited in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium. Start with these tips:

1️⃣ Learn what YOU need: Do you know what foods and what amounts are best for YOU? Get your own personalized plan here: https://www.myplate.gov/myplate-plan

2️⃣ Get active in the kitchen: Learn how to make a few dishes. Include extra fruits and vegetables for added flavor and nutrients.

3️⃣ Build strong bones: Get the calcium and vitamin D that your growing bones need! Choose fat-free or low-fat dairy milk, soy milk, and yogurt. You can get vitamin D from sunshine, too!

4️⃣ Keep water handy: Water is a better option than most drink choices. Keep a reusable water bottle in your bag and skip the sugary sodas, fruit drinks, and energy and sports drinks.

5️⃣ Be active: Squeeze in some physical activity between homework, going out, and other
activities. Walk the dog, ride your bike with a friend, or do an online workout.

6️⃣ Eat a variety of foods: Make choices from all food groups—fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy and fortified soy alternatives—every day. Each group provides you with different nutrients and you need all of them.
