Infant Phases

What are the critical phases children MUST go through?

My observations of children that skip the phase of "mouthing and touching" objects will revert back to that phase. The usual age is 3-6 mos. and it can last up to ages 4-12 yrs. 

​

It is critical that babies be allowed to touch and mouth in order to get the sensorimotor integration (Sensory motor integration refers to the link between the nerves (sensory system) and the muscles (motor skills) and to the process of receiving information through our senses, interpreting it, and organizing it.

he parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex, located in the upper central portion of the brain. It plays crucial roles in processing sensory information, spatial awareness, and language. 

We teach you how to awaken this lobe and help integrate the brain lobes. 

Crawling is another phase that is needed for vision, touch and proprioception. Kids need this to be better adapted to their environment.

And if multiple foods are not introduces between age 6-12 mos....you may have a picky eater. 

Caregive and Me Classes

I have been observing infants to 6 years old starting ion 2021. I have noticed that their is a critical point in zero to three that is missed by many pediatricians. Pediatrician are not to blame, but they give the informations to parents and it is the parents job to ask questions. 

Informing parents about the brain development sliver of intervention is not about seeing delays, its about exposure at a time that integrates brain lobe development. I have self- studied brain development and observed see a difference in child development in those who get exposure to various tools and sensory outlets and those who do not.

How many times is your child hearing the word NO?

 

When children get to the next phase, the one after the “everything you do is cute” phase, they are told, “No.” I call it the NO phase. They went from doing everything right and now they are willing to try new things and all they hear is: No, don’t get too close to the baby, No! Don’t push your sister. No! Don’t throw your food. No! Don’t chase the dog. No! Don’t stand up in the bath. No!

Kids are moving on to the next phase and we can up our game. We need to remember that we use to get so happy for every new thing they did. We need to remember they are willing to try new things and kids need reminders. They know, but their brains are growing so fast. We are here to remind them.

Predict. You are smarter than them. If you don’t predict then you’re not watching. You will see them start to get closer and closer to the baby. You just happened to look when they were kissing her face. They were frustrated with their sister before they decided to hit. Yes, we have told them not to. But they forgot.

Maybe, it’s not the NO! phase, it is the “I have more freedom phase and I am willing to try new things.”

Remember: Predict and Watch. They aren’t ready yet to be left in the room with a baby. They aren’t done hitting.
