It is important that when you have a baby you allow them to take risk when they are young . Young children love to explore ,climb on furniture and many times parents can be over bearing . Young children must have a safe space where they can explore freely with adults as a facilitator .When adults get excited when infants/toddlers are taking risk this can cause long term impact on the brain ,and can cause long term anxiety .
Please keep in mind that infants/toddlers must be allowed to explore in order to lessen their anxiety this will save them from therapy in their adulthood.Many adult challenges begin during the infant/toddler years.Here is a blog that you can read .

Social emotional and cognitive skills-self-esteem
Self esteem is a critical skill that your child needs when they get to kindergarten but you need to build those skills early on . When you infant is makes small progress celebrate : for example the first time she crawls -you should create a big deal Wow I see that you can crawl ,clapp and say that is a good job and you should allow your infant to do little things for them self . You should give them finger foods this way they learnto put items in their mouth and llearn to chew.
When they go to pre-school and kindergarten they need to feel good about themselves. Allow infants/toddlers to develop and meet their mile stones they must be given the opportunity. This will build competence and confidence that leads to positive self-esteem,feel good about your self.Please listen to our radio program and share it with your friends.

Self -regulation
It is important for you to begin this process very early by communicating with your baby . You may be asking what is self-regulation -It is the ability to manage your urges and emotions . This begins when the baby is young and cries because they have a need and once you respond to their need in a timely manner they soon learn that waiting a little time their need will be met . For example - the baby is crying and you will say "John I am making your bottle" and let the child see that you are making after a few experiences with this activity the baby begins to learn trust ,begins to learn that she can wait a little because her needs will be met . As the baby gets older she will be able to wait a little because she has now understand the language that goes with the action . As you can see language and comprehension plays a big role in helping children to learn self-regulation . Once children make the connection between language and actions they begin to develop comprehension skills.

Guidance -Social skills
On Sunday July 24th I was at a play ground in NYC . There were several children in the play ground and one of them had a balloon one child walked over and tried to touch her balloon . No one is going to touch my balloon she yelled at the top of her voice. The child was startled and looked confused.
The adult that was with the screaming child did not provide guidance by giving the child language to use . The child clearly has an emotional challenge ,lacks social skills and need guidance .It is critical that adults help young children to manage big emotions .

Observation- It takes time for young children to learn some concepts
Cooperating is a challenge for many young children .
Last week I observed a parent getting her 5 year old son ready for school . He had a shower the night before .His uniform was ready and ironed . She asked him to brush his teeth and he said "o can I watch a show " . No we need to get ready for school and we do not need to be late . He has no sense of time ." Mommy can you brush my teeth?" what about the magic word ."someone took it he responded with a grin". His mother had a strait face .He went and turned on the music and began dancing ."look at my moves mom". I am trying to make breakfast . Mommy can you please brush my teeth . Ok I will help you . It is now 7:15 am and he needs to eat his breakfast and get dress. He is out of the bathroom . Mommy what is for breakfast .His mom told him and he likes it.
He sits at he table and begin to eat .He gets up to put on the animal show. His mom reminds him that he needs to eat because they need to leave at 8:00am in order to get to school on time. He is now playing with the remote. It is now 7:50 and he his not dressed as yet .
This is an example of what happens every day with many 5 year old. As a caregiver you need a lot of patience children have no sense of time this concept will take a while before they understand . Many times they get to school late and the teacher do not understand how your morning was and they are ready to mark the child late ;some schools make the child announce to the class that they are late .
