Technology...the one thing that connects us all is

Technology...the one thing that connects us all is also the one thing that causes social disconnect; especially for little people. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
With this in mind, the American Academy of Pediatrics has established guidelines around screen time for kids 2 and under:
⁣⁣
🚫 under 18 months: no screen time, live chat only ⁣⁣
🛑 18 months-2 years: Guided screen time with parent, no time alone with device⁣⁣
👉🏾 2-5 years: 1 hour educational programming
👉🏾 6years and over- maximum usage of 2.5 hours. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🛑 Screens should not interfere with sleep, eating habits, or other developmental behaviors. ⁣

Don’t mind us...we’re just working on a few things! ⁣

☝🏾Pro Tip: For kids that struggle with engagement, first start off by sitting next to them to take away the pressure of face to face contact. ⁣

Peace of mind is NECESSARY. Necessary to show up and give your best and certainly necessary to be able to be in a head space to help your child. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The biggest regret for parents of kids with delays who are identified later is Waiting! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👉🏾 Waiting to mention to their pediatrician that they have concerns ⁣⁣
👉🏾 Waiting to have an evaluation done⁣⁣
👉🏾 Waiting and hoping things will get better⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Though the thought of having an unwanted feeling confirmed, AN EVALUATION IS NECESSARY; to identify, if in fact, there is a problem or to rule out the possibility that something is wrong. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🛑 Trust your gut, if you think something is not right, speak up. Better to seek help and determine it’s not needed than to need help and not know it. ⁣⁣

Offering choices; especially during daily routines

Offering choices; especially during daily routines (meals, dressing, playing), gives your child multiple opportunities to practice using words, making decisions, and sharing control in their activities. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Strategies to help choice making:⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 Present a highly preferred and non-preferred option to encourage responding⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 Share control by allowing your little to choose from the options you’ve already selected 😉⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 Limit options to two items/activities at a time⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🛑 By 18 months, your little should be able to make a choice between 2 items by saying yes/no/name of object or nodding yes/no ⁣
⁣

Your child’s ability to point is just as importa

Your child’s ability to point is just as important as them talking! It’s their way of sharing and interacting with you. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
In fact, it’s a critical non-verbal component that makes for effective communication! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Strategies to teach pointing:⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 Model pointing when reading books and point to the pictures as you say the names⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 Use hand over hand guidance to help your little point to things ⁣⁣⁣
👉🏾 Hold objects out of your baby’s reach to encourage pointing and reaching out ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🛑 If your little is not pointing or trying to direct your attention by 18 months and/or is difficult to engage during play, please seek help!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣
