    Baby Talk: Resources To Support The People Who Work With Infants and Toddlers Issue No. 79 December 2017 Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers This online resource from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides information to help family members and caregivers interact positively with children. It provides proven answers to common challenges so moms, dads, and caregivers can help two- to four-year-olds grow up happy and healthy. Read free articles, watch videos, and practice exercises for building positive relationships with kids. https://www.cdc.gov/parents/essentials/index.html?utm_source=PAEEN+November+2017&utm_campaign=Build&utm_medium=email Bilingual Babies Listen to Language A recent research study from Princeton University (August 7, 2017) found that bilingual infants can process dual languages quickly and correctly as early as 20 months of age just by listening. The study also revealed that infants can quickly detect when the language is switched in mid-sentence, called "code switches", as regularly experienced in bilingual communities; and "toddlers naturally activate the vocabulary of the language that is being used in any particular setting." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170807155145.htm 10 Routines That Can Strengthen an Adult-Child Relationship Researchers remind us that we need five positive interactions to each negative interaction to keep a relationship healthy. Here are ten that don't add time to your day, but do add connection. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/peaceful-parents-happy-kids/201706/10-routines-will-strengthen-parent-child-relationship Study Proves That Cuddling Babies Early (and Often) Has Huge Benefits Check out this article to learn more about how early skin-to-skin contact can support improved neurodevelopment, higher IQ, and lower rates of aggression.

  • Baby-Talk” Words Support Language Development
    How “Baby-talk” Words Support Language Development By Julie Erdmann Speech-Language Pathologist & Clinical Program Assistant, The Hanen Centre If you were to walk past a parent talking to her baby, you might hear any of the following phrases: “Uh oh!” “Pop!” “Where’s your belly?” “Woof-woof says the dog!” “Night-night, baby!” As Hanen certified SLPs, we know that modeling playful words is a natural part of interaction-building activities. In It Takes Two to Talk®, we teach caregivers to use this type of vocabulary when they join in and play in order to follow their child’s lead and let the interaction grow. “Fun sounds and words are easy to remember and understand because they’re said with lots of animation and often have gestures that go with them” (Weitzman, 2017, p. 37) These words are a familiar part of parentese, or infant directed speech. Infant directed speech (IDS) consists of language that is, as its name suggests, directed specifically to the child and not conversation that he may simply overhear. IDS has been studied since the 1960s (Ferguson, 1964) and the research on this topic has continued. Studies have shown that “[i]nfant directed speech…systematically differs from adult directed speech” (Ota, Davies-Jenkins, Skarabella, 2018). Some studies have focused on the quantitative variation between IDS and adult-directed speech (ADS), showing that all the elements are the same but vary by degree. Infant directed speech (IDS) generally has slower speech rates, higher pitch ranges, and longer pauses than speech directed at adults. Sentences are shorter than those in adult directed speech (ADS) and contain more concrete and less diverse vocabulary – the same set of words tend to be used more often (Cristia, 2013; Phillips, 1973; Saint-Georges, Chetouani, Cassel, Apicella, Mahdhauoi, Muratori, Laznik, & Cohen, 2013; Thiessen, Hill, & Saffran, 2005; Trainor, L.

  • Baby Talk: Resources to Support the People Who Work with Infants and Toddlers
    Baby Talk: Resources to support the people who work with infants and toddlers Issue No. 12 May 2012 Baby Matters: A Gateway to State Policies and Initiatives Baby Matters is ZERO TO THREE’s searchable database of resource information on state policies and initiatives that impact infants, toddlers and their families. The policies and initiatives are searchable by category, state, or keyword. A detailed description of each policy or initiative is provided, as well as links to additional related resources. http://policy.db.zerotothree.org/policyp/home.aspx Early Play = Academic Achievement A new study shows that when parents engage toddlers in cognitively stimulating play such as pretend play, it can have long-lasting effects on their children's academic success. The 15-year longitudinal study's results (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19424620.2011.640559), published in Family Science, found that such parental interaction when children were as young as 2 years old (as observed with 229 children in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project) predicted fifth grade math and reading achievement. This builds on years of research, as compiled in this article (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/beautiful-minds/201203/the-need-pretend-play-in-child- development) at Psychology Today, showing that imaginative play is a critical part of healthy child development, particularly for cognitive and social development. Got a Fussy Baby? Partners in Care: Supporting Fussy Babies in Child Care is a booklet that was developed by the Fussy Baby Network to support infant child care teachers, infant program directors, and other professionals in supporting families and their fussy babies, who may also have difficulties with feeding, sleeping, and other daily routines.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Development of Piagetian Object Permanence in a Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus) Irene M. Pepperberg*, Mark R. Willner*, and Lauren B. Gravitz† * University of Arizona † Barnard College ABSTRACT The authors evaluated the ontogenetic performance of a grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) on object permanence tasks designed for human infants. Testing began when the bird was 8 weeks old, prior to fledging and weaning. Because adult grey parrots understand complex invisible displacements (I. M. Pepperberg & F. A. Kozak, 1986), the authors continued weekly testing until the current subject completed all of I. C. Uzgiris and J. Hunt's (1975) Scale 1 tasks. Stage 6 object permanence with respect to these tasks emerged at 22 weeks, after the bird had fledged but before it was completely weaned. Although the parrot progressed more rapidly overall than other species that have been tested ontogenetically, the subject similarly exhibited a behavioral plateau part way through the study.

  • Early Intervention in Pediatric Occupational Therapy
    Chapter 1 Early Intervention in Pediatric Occupational Therapy Serkan Pekçetin and Ayla Günal Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.68316 Abstract Early intervention is services for infants and toddlers who have developmental defi‐ ciency or considered high risk due to the environmental or biologic factors. The aim of the early intervention is increasing the physical, cognitive and emotional capacities of infants/toddlers with protecting them from the environmental or biological risk factors. Early intervention should start as soon as possible for obtaining the best results for the child and family. First 3 years of life are critical period of the child development because neurologic development still continues. Infants and toddlers are providing physical, cognitive, sensory and social development with different experiences and various‐ sen sory stimuli from the environment in this period. Occupational therapists evaluate and implement interventions to activity, environment, infant/toddlers and their families for minimizing the developmental risks. For these reasons, occupational therapists are considered important members of early intervention team. Keywords: early intervention, occupational therapy, sensory motor performance, play therapy, cognitive, feeding disorders, social development 1. Introduction 1.1. High risk infant This term is using for the infant who has increasing risk for disability, but the exact disability is not actualized yet. The risk factors of infants can be divided into two main subheadings. The first subheading is biological risk factors. These are: intracranial hemorrhage, diabetic retinopathy, sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, apnea, asphyxia, intraventricular hemorrhage and the brachial plexus injury. The second subheading is environmental risk factors.
