Stop and ask yourself, “Have I taken the time to help my child mistakes can help him learn?” If not, set aside time to ensure your child recognizes this critical lesson of success. Here are four easy ways to weave in that crucial life lesson."

Using visual supports with infants and toddlers
"Visual supports are a form of adaptation that rely on visual cues to allow infants and toddlers, and older children, to participate in activities and routines. Because infants and toddlers may find it difficult to communicate using words, visual supports can provide them with a system for communication while also teaching them important daily activities and routines. Visual supports provide supplemental information, cues, and directions to children who may communicate with behavior or are unable to read.
This newsletter will take visual supports that have been used successfully in childcare centers and preschools and show how they can be used in the home with younger children. As you will see, visual supports can be inexpensive to make and are applicable to many different daily activities and routines in all different environments!"

The quality of our connection will dictate whether teaching our children appropriate behavior is simple and successful, or whether it is confusing, discouraging and ineffective. It will decide whether our children feel secure and retain the sure sense of self and confidence that helps them fulfill their potential. And perhaps most importantly: Our relationship will be forever embedded in our child’s psyche as their model of love and the ideal they’ll seek for future intimate bonds.
