🔹Balancing your time🔹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Balancing activity time and quiet time is important (for you and your kiddos!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Playing with your baby, such as reading to them, singing to them, or even doing tasks like bathing and changing diapers, can be stimulating activities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure you give your baby a quiet, calming time between these activities so that they do not become overstimulated. Swaddling and swaying are soothing activities that allow time to bond with your baby. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔹Overstimulation🔹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔹Overstimulation🔹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Overstimulation in babies occurs when the environment is too much for them to handle. Babies come from the warm, cozy, dark womb and are thrust into the bright, loud, and chaotic world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some things that we don't realize "stimulate" our kids are:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻Bright lights⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻Toys that make sounds and light up⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻Smells from food and the environment⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻Adults and children talking⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 TV in the background⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻The feeling of clothes and their diaper⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The brain is working to create new connections and pathways, and it's trying to figure out what's important and what's not. Your little one needs A LOT less "stimulation" than you think....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔹A few words about MLK day🔹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In case y’all didn’t know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Black Lives Still Matter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today and everyday.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you can’t say that out loud, on social, to your family, at times when you know you’ll get backlash...then stop “celebrating MLK.” Period.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔹How much do I need to play with my child? 🔹

🔹How much do I need to play with my child? 🔹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get asked this questions A LOT! 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This question is answered in detail in our latest blog post. But, bottom line. It depends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most important things are to put your phone away, give your child undistracted attention and NOT to take over the play space. Let your child lead you in their world and join in as much as you want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Read our latest blog post (link in bio) for more information about how often you "should" be playing with your little one.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔹New Blog Post (link in bio)🔹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Mom! I’m bored!” is something children repeat over and over. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What can you do at home to entertain a bored toddler? Do you play with them? Why not let them be bored? Is there even any benefits to being bored? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Open ended or parent directed play can entertain toddlers, but being bored is not always a bad thing. It can even help build your toddlers brain! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We live in a world where children are expected to be busy or scheduled from dawn to dusk. Giving the child the time and space to be bored can help them develop their creativity, learn to self regulate and improve focus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By having a well-stocked and inviting play space at home, it is easy to entertain a bored toddler at home without using screens so that they can play independently. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔹 Lazy Saturday 🔹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been a week. Just sharing a little building by my oldest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We read #iggypeckarchitect by @andreabeatyauthor this morning so he is on a mission.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m currently sitting on the couch and just watching him play. His innocence and optimistic view of the world is just what I need right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe to see his final creation.
