Reasoning and Proof relates to children’s ability to develop mathematical arguments for ways to solve a problem that are grounded in their previous understandings. When reasoning, children are looking for patterns or structures within problems that relate to patterns or structures that they have previously mastered. For example, a three-year-old child counting by 10s saying, “I know that forty comes after thirty because four comes after three.” The child reasons about a mathematical structure that was previously understood (three comes before four) and proves that 40 comes after 30 when counting by 10 based on their understanding of this structure.

Here are some examples of reasoning and proof in play and how you, as a caregiver, can support it.

Anyone who has struggled with breastmilk supply has heard someone recommend “lactation cookies” as a remedy. These pricy treats are often marketed to help improve supply.

A study finally addressed this question. This study published in March 2023 was a randomized controlled trial (the highest quality research design) that examined whether lactation cookies actually cause an increase in breastmilk supply (see link in bio to read the full study).

This study included 176 mothers with exclusively breastfeeding 2-month-old infants. Participants were randomly assigned to eat “lactation cookies” with oatmeal, brewer’s yeast, flax seeds, and fenugreek or regular cookies every day for one month. They found NO significant differences between groups in the amount of milk produced, in the mothers’ perception of milk supply, or in how effective the mothers felt at breastfeeding. The specific cookies they used were Oatmeal Raisin Milkmakers® Lactation Cookie Bites.

TRANSLATION: You can probably save your money because lactation cookies are unlikely to increase your milk supply. Instead focus on ways supported by research such as frequent and on-demand breastfeeding, pumping after breastfeeding, and a LOT of skin-to-skin contact.

To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a sp*ech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.
