Helpful Hints
Vocal Hygeine
Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep your voice healthy and if you are a caffeine drinker or take allergy medicine drink more to compensate for both of those. Don’t talk over the radio in the car and try to only speak to people within arms length.
Hearing Health
To protect your hearing: wear earphones at a concert or when operating loud machinery, do not make your ear phones too loud, buy kids earphones which limit their volume, and give your ears time to recover after listening to loud noise.
Baby’s first food
When introducing your baby to their first food, make sure to let them look, touch, and smell it before they eat it. When you do give them their first taste, make sure its just a taste by putting very little on the spoon. This gives the baby more chance to experience this new food instead of being overwhelmed by the new food.
When your child makes a mistake…
Don’t correct them. Instead repeat their error the correct way. This allows your child to leaarn while not feeling frustrated.
Is my child just a picky eater?
Some kids are not just picky and their is a reason behind their eating. Can their sensory system not handle hot, did they develop a fear of foods due to reflux or other issues, are their mouths able to chew and swallow? These are a few of the many reason kids can’t eat but fortunately all of them can be helped through feeding therapy .
