Tips and Tricks for Technology Use

Receive the most up-to-date information on how to support communication growth starting at birth. We teach practical habits to add to your parenting toolbox to increase your child's early social and language skills. This includes learning how to talk with your baby, how to play, or what toys are best for early language growth.
Books! Fostering Your Child's Interest in Early Literacy

We discuss what types of books are best for different stages of development, how to engage your child when reading, and how to promote speech and language skills using books.
The Gift of Boredom
Bringing it back to the ol' days
These days, the need for instant gratification is increasing, as the ability to tolerate boredom and waiting is decreasing. Allowing our children to be bored opens up their minds and enhances learning opportunities and creativity. Learn how to teach boredom and increase independent play, creativity, and important life skills. We support finding peace in venturing out to stores, restaurants, and appointments rather than dreading these experiences.
