Parenting on the Spectrum

In this episode, I outline the 0 to 4-month developmental milestones.   Many first-time parents, I have worked with are not familiar with developmental milestones and have no idea what to expect.  It is vital that you are empowered with that information as well as simple strategies to help meet those milestones.  So grab a pen and sit back.  Some of these strategies can also be found at pathways.org.

Does your child tantrum because they do have the skills to communicate effectively?  I feel your pain!  Beyond the emotional pain, I have been scratched, kicked, punched, head butted, spit on, hair pulled out of my head, etc. Why?  Because a child could not or failed to communicate their needs or wants effectively.    I would like to help you reduce and ultimately eliminate these problems.  All behavior is communication.  Imagine the life that lies ahead of your child when they know how to communicate their needs and wants effectively!  Whether it's with a sign, picture or gesture, your child needs the opportunity to express themselves.  In this episode I will share some tools that I have used in my practice to teach children to communicate effectively.  

In this episode my guest is Speech Language Pathologist(SLP) extraordinaire Meridith Rose.  Meridith talks about the importance of teaching language and communication to children.  She also provides you with some simple, yet life changing tips to help your child.  Listen up!

Taking care of yourself is a selfless act.  You can best care for your child and family if you first take care of yourself.  In our first episodes i talk about taking care of yourself first so you can parent better.  Parent with Confidence!
