Season 3, Episode 23: Self-Discipline and Perseverance
Play Teach Talk
11/30/22 • 9 min
In a recent article I read, a child psychologist referenced a 2005 study that showed that self-discipline and perseverance was a better predictor of how a child would succeed in school than their IQ. I give some tips to help enhance both self-discipline and perseverance.

Season 3, Episode 16: Baby Led Weaning
Play Teach Talk
11/02/22 • 8 min
Baby Led Weaning has taken over as a new way to approach the move from exclusively bottle- or breast-fed children to first foods without the extra expense of prepackaged baby foods. I discuss one difference that a motor-based approach has with Baby Led Weaning as well as ways to incorporate those principles while still encouraging development of chewing skills in stages.

Season 3, Episode 10: Feeding Issues and Neurodivergence
Play Teach Talk
10/12/22 • 8 min
Does your child eat only "bland" looking foods? (yellow, tan, brown, white- with a dash of red)
Though they chew foods well, do they seem to be stuck eating only a few of them?
Do they seem to get very upset if their usual foods are not available and they have to substitute?
Your child might be making food choices that feel safer for them based on how they are processing food-based information (appearance, taste, smell, texture). I cover ARFID and a few strategies that are used to help expand preferred foods.

Season 3, Episode 7: Feeding Issues and the GI System
Play Teach Talk
10/01/22 • 9 min
How our body moves food from the mouth through the intestines has a large impact on how we perceive food, eating, and meals. I use a few anecdotes about clients I've seen regarding how issues with their GI systems affected their choices of foods and behaviors around eating.

Season 3, Episode 2: Autism Spectrum Disorder
Play Teach Talk
09/10/22 • 21 min
At the forefront of the Neurodiversity Movement are Autistic people who are advocating for their own rights. This is an exciting time, as there are more ways for even nonverbal communicators to find their voices through visual and augmented means like social media. I cover the definition of an ASD diagnosis, what this can look like in small children, why it is hard to diagnose in those under 3, and the differences between language development in girls and boys with ASD. I touch on "masking" and "gestalts", which will be future episodes.

Season 2, Episode 30: Common vs Typical
Play Teach Talk
08/13/22 • 7 min
In the final episode of Season 2, I discuss where we will go from here in season 3, and how to be aware of what is "common" (what you see your child's peers doing) versus what is "typical" (within the usual expectations for development with children your child's age).

Season 2, Episode 6: Toys that Grow With a Child
Play Teach Talk
05/21/22 • 14 min
There are several no-tech toys that can be used throughout a toddler's first few years to teach a variety of different play and language concepts. These toys can be recycled at different learning points to teach different things. To make the most use of the toys you purchase, try to choose based on the value they will give you over time.

Season 3, Episode 25: Executive Function Skills
Play Teach Talk
12/07/22 • 11 min
Lying underneath many of the other developmental skills that a child learns is their executive function skills. I cover what that term means, and touch on how deficits in these skills can affect other areas of development.
