Skill #3: Play!

Playing with your child is one of the best thing you can do in order to promote growth in ALL domains of child development! It promotes communication development, social and emotional growth, improved cognitive skills, better gross and fine motor skills, as well as improved adaptive/self-help skills. WOW! So much growth just by playing with your child. It can be simple and fun, and I recommend 1 or 2 15-minute sessions a day if possible, of undivided attention to playing with your child (no screens on, don't look at your phone, etc). Follow their lead! Here is a quick video and some AWESOME resources to check out to help guide you. This is seriously SO MUCH FUN! Each of your kiddos is amazing and I miss playing with them so much.
