LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAIN

The 6 months span from 18 months to 2 years will bring some significant changes.  You will see growth in imagination and play skills, language and physical development. In this podcast we talk about some great activities that will build all of those skills? 

This podcast is all about changes around 18 months old. From motor, emotional, social and play changes to language changes, you are going to be astounded at the magnificent changes taking place in your child. Toward the end of this podcast look for our discussion on next steps and our “baby brain booster”. 

In this podcast, we will be talking about how you can recognize a first word. First words may be single words but they might have a multitude of meanings. Recognizing the word in the proper context is very important. 

In this podcast, we will be talking about children around the ages of 12 to 18 months. All children are unique and develop at their own pace. For the age group we will give you activities you can do with your child and games you can play. We will also give you ideas for building play toys 

In this podcast, we will be talking about typical development for a one year old.  We will be thinking especially about what has happened in the past year to build to a child using their first words. 

In this podcast we will be discussing gestures, their development which begins before babies use words, why they are important and what you can do to help promote gestures in your child’s communication. 

In this podcast we will be discussing activities to support your child’s language development between nine months and one year 

We have discussed new born crying, cooing and babbling in previous podcasts. In this podcast we will discuss the next level of speech. It is called jargon.  We will be talking about jargon and gestures in a child between 9 and 12 months.

Welcome to our podcast about joint attention. It isn’t a term that you hear regularly, but really it should be. It develops before a child begins to speak. With the assistance of very sophisticated equipment we know that babies begin to lay down the first neural pathways for social interaction as early as 4 months old. This early development of joint attention represents a new stage in the interaction. It’s one of the earliest forms of communicating between parent and child. 

In this podcast we are going to walk through what we are imagining as a typical day with a child.  We will explain how all these activities can be great for language building as the language just comes naturally.  Your day may not look exactly the same but we hope you can see how to apply the ideas.
