Speech is one of the most important milestones in a child’s life. This is because the bulk of speech that children develop during their first 3 years of life greatly influences their social, emotional, and cognitive development, and also largely impacts later performance in school and critical thinking skills. For this reason, speech-language pathologists encourage parents to expose their kids to as much words as possible and encourage talking during this critical first 3 years in order to instill a rich vocabulary in their child. One good way of going about that is by investing in the following language teaching baby toys.

When you were younger, did your parents help you with your homework? For the most part, I did my homework independently. But if I really needed some guidance, I knew that I could ask my mom. And while homework may not have been my favorite part about school, I also knew that it had to be done. Even if it meant doing it the morning it was due. Now it seems that children have homework at younger ages. I’m not sure why this is being done and I can’t say that I agree with it at all. But if your child is struggling with their homework, here’s how to help them without doing all of the work yourself. Every child deserves a parent who is…

For us, with a toddler and teenagers, it’s this: coffee wipes milk soap toilet paper While you may not consider these essentials in your home; for us they definitely are. We always make sure to have these items stocked. This is especially true during the school year when life tends to get busier and we don’t always have time to make frequent trips to the grocery store. It’s during this time of the year that I start to turn to the convenience of online shopping- and…

An afterschool program may seem great in theory and for some kids, an afterschool program is just what they need. But do all children really need or benefit from afterschool programs?

As parents, we want to do what’s best for our children. This stretches across all aspects and areas of life but perhaps none quite as important as school. Whether our children attend a public or private school, or if they’re homeschooled; education matters. With the decision of where to send them, or to keep them at home, may also come the decision of whether or not to enroll them in an afterschool program. For Sweet B, at least for the time being, we’re developing an afterschool at home program to make connections between home and school. It’s loosely based on her IEP goals but also has plenty of flexibility for working on life skills. But is an afterschool program really necessary for all children? Let’s…

But what can we do about it? Sure, we can make a budget and then hope that everything works itself out. We could…

Halloween is one of the more popular holidays, usually for children of all ages. One of the challenges that I’ve faced as a parent of an autistic child, is making Halloween more autism and sensory friendly. That includes accounting for things like trick-or-treat cards and being mindful of the candy that we hand out. Now that Squeaker is getting older, I also want to make Halloween more toddler friendly. Celebrating Halloween with toddlers brings a certain element of innocence to the mix. With a toddler, it may not be possible to go out and party like you normally would, and trick or treating can get tiresome for your toddler very quickly. Safety is always an issue with toddlers as they are very naive and can…
