It has been a while since I first wrote about Encouraging Reading in your infant and I thought it was about time that I get back to this series in case there were some of you waiting for me to get on with it. As I mentioned in the previous post, I am a big [...]

Your Toddler at 2

Published by sirenavs under Toddler Development

You know the famous saying, “Terrible Two’s” and your little baby has finally reached it. I would like to be the first to congratulate you and I would like to mention that the “Two’s” really aren’t that terrible.

Building Skills: Cutting

Often, when we look at the development of children, or watch our own children develop, we are often mystified as to how something occurred.

Theorists of Child Development Part Two

If you remember a few weeks ago, I started a post on the Theorists of Child Development and by the end of a pretty long post, I had only covered Freud and some of his theories. I did hint that I was going to move on to Erik Erikson in a few weeks and today [...]

When I talk about child development and all the things you can do to encourage it, the foundations of all my theories and practices are attributed to several theorists.  I know that in the day to day, most parents could really care less about who invented this or what the thread of thought was on [...]

For my own children, I was able to breastfeed for roughly one month but neither of them were breastfeeding well. My oldest was not latching and I was losing milk production very quickly. My youngest latched perfectly and [...]

Your Budding Artist: Age 1-3 years

You may not know this but children develop art in a series of stages.  Early Childhood Education has broken those stages down to 3 stages ranging from 1 year of age to 5 years.  It is important to remember that when we discuss any type of developmental milestones, we are looking at a “range of [...]

Battle of the Food

When my sister’s beautiful baby became a difficult and argumentative child, I thought to myself, “Well, that’s karma,” since my sister had been pretty difficult and argumentative as a child herself. I didn’t worry about that karma coming and biting me since I hadn’t been nearly as argumentative as she had, although I definitely wasn’t the [...]
