My Child's Best is Good Enough
Recently, my daughter was reading to me as part of her daily homework. She was distracted, fidgeting, randomly guessing words, not trying to sound out. I was getting really frustrated.

Many important steps lead to that special day. These are some critical pre-linguistic skills and are the foundation for talking.

Does your toddler get bored with one toy or activity too quickly? It can be frustrating for any caregiver AND toddler. Due to their level of brain maturation, toddlers have a very short attention span!
