Happy 2020!
So it’s the end of January, the month that we all seem to want to make big changes. For some, the changes are in diets, exercise, or careers. For others, it’s having the ability to connect and engage successfully with their young child.
We’ve all heard, “Slow and steady wins the race”. I totally agree but it is a little more complicated than that.
Most of the nutrition experts will tell you to change one small thing about your diet, switching out one food for another, one meal a week. If we change too many things at once, we set ourselves up to fail because it’s just too difficult.
The same is true for engagement with our children. Our goals for our children are to change a behavior: to be more social, to get his needs met more independently, to follow a direction, or to play with a toy as it was intended. For any of these behaviors, we must start small.
