Ever wonder how you can help your child communicate and learn language during everyday activities? Or what are the "best" toys and books to encourage your child's communication skills? Beyond Speech is partnering with Parents as Teachers to dive deeper and discuss the important role you play in your child's speech and language development.

Join PAT parent and speech pathologist Jana Weisbrod for a parent presentation and playgroup. PAT staff will provide childcare in room 104 while parents participate in a presentation in the Board Room down the hall. (infants can stay with parent). After the presentation come back to room 104 and practice the strategies that you've learned with your child.

Noticing helps to encourage children in a way that makes their accomplishment their own rather than making it about us. Noticing provides a play-by-play description of the action and sounds like this: “You did it! You ____!” or “Good for you!

Encouragement and noticing are about accepting children for who they are. Acceptance shows unconditional love or love that makes no demands.

The Buddy Bags have been a huge success and we want to create more of them. Please complete the survey so we know how you are using the Buddy Bags and what else we can do to improve them. Thank you for your feedback!

Buddy Bag Survey

Transitions:

Please use the playroom before and after class as time for your child to transition to/from the classroom. The benefits of transitioning children into/from an activity is that it helps them understand the event and allows them time to adapt to the change, which can reduce and prevent tantrums.

Cleaning Up

We also ask parents and children to help clean up after class and open play. This teaches your child to value their environment and helps them learn skills they will use for the rest of their lives.
