Plano Speech Therapy - Importance of Direct Interaction For Language Development

We live in a fast paced culture. Today families are constantly on the move with playgroups, school activities, sports practices, and other commitments. Even when a family is at home, there is frequently a frenzied need to find some uninterrupted time to accomplish the everyday tasks that keep a household functioning. Over the past decade parents have become more dependent on media as a way to keep children occupied while cooking meals, doing laundry, paying the bills, or having some personal down time. While a little television may be harmless, there is a correlation between school performance and heavy media usage (Helen J. Watt). Research has not yet established a cause and effect relationship, but it is important to consider that family media use patterns may impact cognitive development or at least educational success. Television, movies and videos are passive, in that a child cannot interact with a program. Interaction is important for language development. Also, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), infant vocabulary growth is directly related to the amount of "talk time" or the amount of time parents spend speaking with them (Brookes;1995, Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experiences of Young American Children). The AAP Media Education Policy Statement (August 1999) states "research on early brain development shows that babies and toddlers have a critical need for direct interactions with parents and other significant care givers for heath brain growth and the development of appropriate social, emotional and cognitive skills".

Speech pathologists know the importance of a rich language and communication environment to cognitive development. In pediatric speech therapy, the setting is full of interesting play-based activities that will build good language skills as well as encourage interaction with others. Relationships are important for child development and a speech pathologist strives to develop a significant, nurturing connection with their client so communicating with a real person becomes rewarding. Training families about the importance of positive, intentional communication with their children is a part of a speech pathologist's role.

Here are a few tips for enriching your child's language development:

Include children's picture books in your environment. Make a point of responding to your child if they bring you a book. Suggest that your child bring you a book. Spend quality time reading the book to your child and pointing out details.Have high interest toys visible, but out of reach, so your child can request and make choices. Spend time talking about the toys and playing with your child. Comment, in simple phrases about the toy and related activity. "The brown horse in the barn"; "You have the rooster! Cock a doodle do!"Comment on things in the environment: the color of flowers, the weather, transportation, foods at the store. Respond to any gestures or language from your child. Reserve a part of every trip or activity for conversation. Make it a habit!Limit the time the television is on. This will increase opportunities for interaction and imaginative play. If your child is going to watch television, be sure that it is quality educational programming and spend time watching the show with your child and interact about the content. Be mindful of how often the television is just left on, causing a visual and auditory distraction from other activities that may be more positive for development.Slow down so you can enjoy and engage with your child! They will grow up faster than you can imagine!

If you suspect your child is delayed in developing spoken language or seems to have difficulty understanding language at the same level as his or her same age friends, discuss this with your pediatrician. It might be wise to have your child evaluated by a speech-language pathologist.

The Importance of Vitamins in Child Development

Breast milk and infant formula milk contains all the nutrients necessary for proper development of your child. They contain proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals. When your baby grows, these nutrients are supplied by a varied and balanced diet. Discover in detail the usefulness of each nutrient in the growth of your baby.

Soft drinks in small doses

As a drink only water is essential for your child. However, the juice can be offered from time to time to extend the range of tastes. Generally, fresh fruit juice contains nutrients: vitamins and minerals, in particular.

Very sweet drinks such as soft drinks or syrups have no nutritional value: they have no vitamins or minerals. Note that 200 ml of juice is equal to 4 pieces of sugar! These drinks should be avoided by a child because may cause long-term decay and overweight.

Zinc, an essential trace element for growth

Zinc is important for developing of natural defense system and is involved in many enzymatic reactions. This is essential for harmonious growth of the child and is found mainly in meat, dairy products, but also in cereals. Is involved in the development of the immune system and thus contributes to the proper functioning of the child's natural defense. He takes part in the activity of over 200 enzymes. Daily Zinc is essential for child, even if it is present in small quantities in the body.

Carbohydrates (sugars), the body's fuel

Carbohydrates provide the energy our body needs daily to function properly. Foods that contain natural sugars (fruits, grains, legumes, milk ...) should be eaten every day. However, it is advisable to limit intake of added sugars, such as cakes or chocolate, for example!

Fiber: undigested complex carbohydrates

Soluble fibers have a prebiotic effect on the health of intestinal flora and stimulate calcium absorption. In addition, some of them contribute to a good seat consistency. Fruits and vegetables are an excellent source of fiber. In fact, the cell walls of plants are particularly rich in fiber. This is one of the reasons that should be consumed every day, plus they provide vitamins and minerals.

Proteins have many functions in the body

Proteins are made of amino acids. They form the tissues of the body, such as muscles and skin, but also have many other functions: enzymes, antibodies and hormones, among others, are also proteins. In the first weeks of life proteins are procured from milk. They are involved in muscle growth and development.

Calcium, an important mineral for bone development

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, and is 99% located in bone associated with some phosphorus. He contributes to a child's proper development of bones and acts with vitamin D. From 0 to 3 years baby's growth is fast and therefore need to be given recommended doses of calcium and vitamin D.

By 6 months, child had extracted calcium from milk. When he grows up, additional sources of calcium are dairy products, preferably and suitable for young children because they contain, in addition to calcium, other minerals such as iron, and the correct amount of protein. Finally, note that some mineral and some vegetables also contain calcium, but in small quantities.

Iron, an essential trace element for the immune system

Iron is an essential trace element in the body. It is involved, especially in the formation of hemoglobin, the protein found in the blood and carry oxygen to the cells. It is essential for the immune system and helps child brain development and cognitive development. You should know that between 20 and 30% of children have iron deficiencies before 3 years. In extreme cases, this deficiency can lead to anemia.

Foods richest in iron are meat, fish, eggs, dairy desserts suitable for young children, vegetables (including legumes, but not before 18 months), infant cereal. Note that, on average, only 10 to 25% of iron is absorbed from food.

Magnesium for bone health

Magnesium helps bone development. But this is not all: it is also important for energy metabolism and muscle function. Where do we find it? In whole grains, mineral water, lentils.

Together with calcium, magnesium contributes to the development of strong bones. It is essential for the proper functioning of the body, participating in more than 300 enzymatic reactions and is especially important for energy metabolism (contributing to metabolic reactions of carbohydrates, fats and proteins) and muscle function (e.g. muscle contraction).
