Take your baby out for short walks. Let your baby see the sky and trees, listen to the birds, and feel the wind. If you can carry your baby, they can feel the warmth of your body and hear your heartbeat, and they will feel safe and secure. Your baby may cry less and calm more easily when they are physically close to you. Talk to your baby about what you can see, hear, or feel. This is how your baby learns the meaning of words.

Helping Your Baby Grow

Rock-a-Bye Baby

9 newsletters for parents

Your baby is never too young to listen to a story or look at pictures in a book. Your baby will feel warm, safe, and calm in your arms. Reading books is an activity you and your baby can do every day as a routine, to help you get close and connect. Your baby listens to the tone of your voice and hears the words you are saying. At this age, your baby focuses best on simple black-andwhite pictures or big, brightly colored pictures.

Your child is learning what they can do and are more confident in their abilities. They are proud of their big kid skills. Your child also wants control. They want to do things their way and on their timeline. It can be frustrating when your child tells you “no” or wants to do things “by myself.” The trick is to give your child a little control while still being in control yourself. For example, always offer two acceptable choices when requesting something of your child: “Do you want to put on your red shirt or your blue shirt?” This small choice provides a little bit of control that feels good to your independent toddler.

Getting Ready for Kindergarten Entering kindergarten is a big change for you and your child. It is an exciting time, and it also might be a little scary for you both. You can help by preparing yourself and your child for this big step well ahead of time. Provide opportunities for your child to practice being away from you and being more independent with self-help skills such as eating and dressing. Visit the school and find out what to expect. These steps will increase your child’s confidence and make both of you feel more prepared for this big change!

In The Year Before Kindergarten

“Keep on Trying” Your toddler is taking on more challenges, and these challenges can trigger big feelings. It doesn’t take much for your child to become discouraged and give up on a task that is hard or to say, “You do it.” Encourage and support your child: “Keep on trying. You can do it.” Stay close and, if needed, help your child before they do give up. Let your toddler know you have confidence in their abilities. When your child learns something new, let them know how proud you are.

First Friends Make times when your child can be with other children their age. Your child may enjoy attending music, movement, or dance classes with other children. If that is not possible, consider trips to the park or dancing together during play dates. Such activities are low-stress for your child, since there is little need to share toys or other belongings.

• Set up times for your child to play with other children—including future classmates, if possible. Knowing how to play and get along with peers is a big part of kindergarten. Having a few friends in class will help your child feel more comfortable.

What Is Social-Emotional Development?

• Teach your child how to do things independently. This will help your child start to build autonomy— the ability to do things separately from you.

Social-emotional development is your child’s ability to • Experience, express, and manage emotions

• Encourage your child to practice writing their first name. Teach them their address and telephone number.

• Develop positive relationships with you and others • Explore their environment with curiosity and confidence Social-emotional skills

Calm First, Talk Later Your child is learning to express and control their big feelings. This is a very hard thing to do! If your child is upset, help them calm down before trying to talk to them. Hold them lovingly in your arms and breathe together. “You’re okay sweetie. Mommy’s here.” Talk about and practice calming ideas at times when your child is not upset. Ideas include deep breathing, using words to talk about feelings, taking a break, or switching to a new activity.

• Let your child dress without your help. Teach your child how to open food containers. Teach them all the steps of using the bathroom alone. Your child’s self-confidence will grow as they learn how to do things independently. Be sure to praise your child’s growing independence: “You dressed all by yourself this morning!”

• Limit television and other screen time to 1 to 2 hours a day. Your child will need to be able to stay calm and focus on real-world activities or a teacher for periods of time. • Encourage your child to stick with activities for longer periods of time. This helps your child build self-regulation skills—the ability to monitor and control their own behavior. • Take your child with you out into the world—to the library, grocery store, and other places. This will help your child feel more secure exploring new places.

• Develop through positive and loving interactions with you and others

• Create bedtime and wake-up routines over the summer before kindergarten starts. Help your child prepare for the school schedule.

• Are key to your child’s success in school and in life

• Visit your local school and your child’s classroom. Meet the teacher. Find the bathroom! This will help build your child’s confidence.

Exploring the World Give your toddler opportunities to explore new activities and places. Take your child to a park, the library, or other fun places. New places may be scary for your child at first. Keep your child close and let them watch before joining in activities. Show your child how to greet new people, such as a clerk at a store. It is okay if your child is shy at first. When your child is ready, they will let you know.

SEAM IS A TWO-PART ASSESSMENT:

SEAM Tool. SEAM includes three intervals with different developmental ranges: Infant (2–18 months), Toddler (18–36 months), and Preschool (36–66 months). Each interval assesses 10 child benchmarks critical to social-emotional competence, including empathy, adaptive skills, self-image, emotional responses, and healthy interactions with others. The SEAM system also includes SEAM with Ages, an alternate version of the tool annotated with a helpful list of age ranges for each item. This version makes it easy to give caregivers general guidance on how social-emotional skills typically develop and where their child’s development fits on the continuum. SEAM Family Profile. The Family Profile assesses parent/caregiver strengths and helps identify areas in which they need more supports to foster their child’s social-emotional skills. Like SEAM, the Family Profile assessment includes three intervals—Infant, Toddler, and Preschool. Each interval measures four benchmarks: responding to needs, providing activities and play, providing predictable routines and an appropriate environment, and ensuring home safety. WHAT TO ORDER

FUN, WEB-BASED LANGUAGE SCREENER FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

Early identification is the first step to helping young children with language delays get on track for reading proficiency and school success. But how do you find the children who might need extra support? It’s simple with the Quick Interactive Language Screener™ (QUILS™), a game-like, web-based screener that helps you evaluate the language skills of children ages 3 through 5 years—and make sure their progress is appropriate for their age group. QUILS stands apart from all other language screeners. That’s because it measures not only language products (what the child already knows) but also language processes (how the child learns new words and grammar structures). QUILS looks at three critical areas: • Vocabulary: What words do children already know? • Syntax: What do children understand about how words go together in sentences? • Process: How good are children at learning new language items? QUILS BENEFITS

• Screens key domains that predict later academic success • Fun and engaging for kids, with interactive items and cute cartoon illustrations • Expert-developed and research-based • Convenient and time-saving, with automatically generated scores and reports • Quick and easy—takes just 15−20 minutes • No special training required

The Inclusive Classroom Profile (ICP™) Set Research Edition

By Elena P. Soukakou, Ph.D.

“Holds huge potential for guiding program improvement.” —Susan Sandall, Ph.D., University of Washington

How well is your early childhood program implementing quality inclusive practices? Now there’s a comprehensive, field-tested observational tool that uncovers the answers.

HOW IT WORKS

For accurate results, the ICP is conducted by a trained outside observer, such as a technical assistance professional or administrator. The observer conducts the three parts of the ICP: a classroom observation scheduled during everyday routines; a face-to-face interview with the teacher; and a documentation review of the program’s policies, screeners and assessments, and child intervention plans. Comprehensive assessment with the ICP takes about 3½ hours, plus 20 minutes to score. BENEFITS

The in-depth ICP evaluation process gives you the rich information and insights you need to: • assess your program’s current inclusive practices • establish a baseline for measuring future progress • apply recommended inclusive practices for young children • guide quality improvement efforts by linking assessment data with instructional decision-making • tailor professional development to teachers’ specific needs The ICP is also a perfect companion to popular early childhood inclusion guides like Building Blocks for Teaching Preschoolers with Special Needs (page 19). Determine your strengths and needs with the ICP, and then find effective inclusion strategies in Building Blocks. SET COMPONENTS The Inclusive Classroom Profile (ICP) Manual, Research Edition.
