Yesterday (November 27th) we were in the car and Ajani's teen-age aunt was laughing . With a straight face he said "Sharon that is not funny". His mom and I began laughing he has a straight face. He turned 2 years and 2 months yesterday. He has been saying complete sentences for the past two weeks.
This is an important developmental mile stone . Infants must here whole language in order to be able to speak . That is why it is important the you transition your infant from her pacifier at 12 months. There are pre-speech sounds that a young child has to make before they can form words and if the have a pacifier in their mouth it negates that opportunity.
The cerebellum (section of the brain) is responsible for movements and co-ordination of muscles. There are muscles in the mouth area that needs to move in order for speech to occur sucking a pacifier will not allow for those muscles to do their job. Infants and toddlers must learn how to self -regulate ,being able to manage their emotions. Children who are able to calm themselves down do very well when they get to school.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
