Connecting with Your Baby or Toddler to Foster Development with Michelle Mintz
Michelle Mintz, M.S., CCC-SLP is the Personal Baby Bloomer from Baby Blooming Moments, helping parents make everyday experiences brighter. In this episode we discuss simple ways parents can establish connections with their children starting when they are just babies. We discuss the challenge of balancing screen time for both adults and children and we chat about her children’s book All Done Binky that parents can read to their young child to help transition to getting rid of the pacifier.
Highlights from this episode include:
- The importance of establishing eye connection with your baby and suggestions for when you can take opportunity to do so

- Strategies to balance adult screen time when parenting

- Michelle’s book on getting rid of the pacifier and when you should think about taking it away
Michelle telecoaches those who raise babies and toddlers to apply her pro-active strategies during everyday routines to help enhance brain connections, encourage early language development and enrich attachments. Scientific research has proven that the first 5 years of life are so crucial for stimulating brain cells that haven't formed and are ready to be nurtured. While many factors influence brain development, HOW people interact with their babies and toddlers have the most significant impact. Her goal is to turn everyday experiences into brighter beginnings.

She was trained and certified by Dr. Shefali Tsabary in her Conscious Parenting method and has been living her dream of coaching and guiding parents on their journey.
Highlights from the episode include:

- How to take steps to shift the way that you parent
- Dr. Shefali’s theory on “conscious parenting” explained
Barby and her husband have two children, a son who is 14 and daughter who is 17. After earning her Bachelors in Elementary Education and Masters in Reading Education from FIU, she taught Kindergarten and First grade in the public and charter school setting for eight years. When her eldest was born in 2003, she decided to stay at home with her children for several years. Later in 2009, she founded Natural Beginnings Homeschool, a home-based early childhood program incorporating nature, play and social emotional development focused on the whole child.
