Questions & Answers
Question : Does my 9 month old daughter have enough toys?
I never realized how fast time went by! When my daughter was less than 6 months, she was content with her swing, playmat, and bouncer. Once she turned six months we got rid of those and bought her a walker and jumper. Now that she's 9 months i've realized how much she's been missing out on the early development toys that she needs. Even when I do buy her toys though, she'll play with them for about a minute and then go back to crawling. All she really wants to do is crawl around, pick up crumbs off the floor, and find furniture she can use to pull herself up to stand. Anyways, other than probably 50 different stuffed animals, teethers, rattles, pull along toys, light up toys, etc. that she has, these are her toys:http://www.walmart.com/ip/Safety-1st-Disney-Princess-Music-and-Lights-Walker/13050751?sourceid= 1500000000000003260330&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=13050751http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-K6070-Rainf orest-Jumperoo/dp/B000I2UJ0Qhttp://www.vtechuk.com/products-and-accessories/spin-and-discover-ocean- fun/http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/182-6863456-8987128?asin=B000W3RYQS&AFID=Froogle_df&LNM=%7C B000W3RYQS&CPNG=baby&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001http://www.target.com/LeapFrog-Learn-Groove-Musical-Table/d p/B000ETRENI/ref=sr_ln_reviews_1_3?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&node=1038576%7C1287991011&qid=1274767065#com munityReviewshttp://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2395034&fromWidget=TRU%3ACategory%3A Top+Sellershttp://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3526307http://www.fisher-price.com/fp. aspx?st=2341&e=detail&pcat=littlesuperstar&pid=41463
Answer:
If I were you I would split the toys up into groups and put them in separate boxes. Put some away and just let her have some out to play with, then switch them around every so often like once a week or once a fortnight. My son loved this, because he was constantly rediscovering old favourites as well as finding new ways to play with toys when they came out of the cupboard again. It meant we got a lot more use out of everything.

Question : Is this normal motor skill development or a sign of autism?
I've always thought my 8 month old son was developing quite well and as most mom's, thought he was somewhat advanced for his age, but now I wonder if he could have some form of autism. He spends a good deal of time waving his hands and/or swiveling his wrists and is always feeling surfaces or textures by flexing his fingers continually. If there is a tag on a toy, he is more interested in the tag than the toy. I always thought this was cute, but now I wonder if it is an early sign of autism. He usually responds to his name, but there are times when I will call repeatedly and he will not answer--this happens more for me to test him than to actually need to call him. He has been babbling for at least 3 months and he particlularly likes to say "da da da de da" repeatedly. Otherwise, he interacts well with people, especially his cousins who are close to his own age. Am I grapsing at straws as an over-paranoid mother or do I have valid concerns?
Answer:
Your son sounds like he is developing normally. I am a mother of 4 and I have a diploma in Special Needs Education. The "red flags" are important to note. One other red flag is if your child walks on his tip-toes consistantly once he's learned to walk.Remember that your son is at an age where he is learning through all of his senses - what he is looking at may be more interesting than hearing your voice at that moment. Take note of all the things he is doing and what he might be learning from each thing he does. God bless you and your little one!

Question : My family and friends are making me insecure about my son's development, but I thought he was doing fine...?
My son is 4 months oldand I think he is just amazing- so happy and smiley all the time.rarely cries at allBut apparently, being a happy, healthy baby isn't as impressive to certain people (family members, other moms in our play group, etc..) as it is to me.So here's his stats:- responding to other's smiles with a smile since he was 6 weeks- showing signs of being ticklish since he was 6 weeks- started teething at 2 months- sleeping through the night since he was 2 months- reaching for toys since he was 2.5 months- discovered his feet as a fun thing to chew on at 2.5 months- laughing since he was 3 months- blowing rasberries since he was 3 months- rolled over (back to tummy) once at 3.5 months, but hasn't done it since- can reach for, grasp, and lead a sippy cup to his mouth; feed himself 4-5oz from a sippy cup as of 4 months- can make the sign for milk at 4 months (we've been doing baby sign language since birth)He's never sat unassisted,never rolled from tummy to backHe's getting so close to sitting unassisted...but he really doesn't show any interest in learning to roll or get mobile (no ammount of tummy time changes that, we do about an hour of tummy time a day since he was 2 weeks)The things he's never done didn't really bother me until others started nagging me about them...I talked to his pediatrician about his lack of interest in getting mobile, and she says its normal. She also said that he's much more vocal than the average baby his age (she was impressed that he could mock certain vocal sounds so early).But really all these people nagging me about his milestones are starting to worry me...are there any other babies who showed no interest in being mobile at 4 months?Is my son really behind on his development or was I right to think he was right on track?By the way-I've read several infant parenting books, including what to expect the first yearand I've taken several infant parenting classes...You'd be suprised at the conflicting advice I get from each book, and my parenting course instructor.I'd like to trust our pediatrician on face value, however (my husband is military) we are stuck using base pediatrician and she...she spends more time telling us about her grandson than she does examining and talking about my son so I just have a hard time trusting her every word because she just...she just doesn't give off a professional vibe
Answer:
my human biology always said that every single child was different. books are just a guideline. its not down to a tee. take comfort with the face that einsteins parents thought he was retarded because he couldn't talk properly until he was 10. (my mum stopped talking when she was 10, and had to be retaught.... and she's extremely smart)

Question : Toys I can make at home for infants and toddlers.?
I am in a early child development class and I have to make 3 toys. one for an infant, one for a 1 yr old and one for a two year old. does anyone have any suggestions?? I am tight with money right now (Christmas) and need inexpensive toys to make at home. please help me with ideas and materials needed. thanks so much..
Answer:
Stuffed animal or mobile for the infant. You will need some material, needle and thread or sewing machine, stuffing, string or ribbon and a circular piece of plastic. All should be found easily at Wal-Mart or a craft store for cheap.For the one year old I would do painted blocks. Cheap and fairly easy. Just have someone cut some wood into blocks and paint them with numbers or animals.For the two year old I would make a picture book by hand (if you can't draw you could use pictures from a coloring book and create the story yourself) or a homemade puzzle. That would be easiest, just take a piece of cardboard, draw a picture on it and cut it up.

Question : What are the best learning toys for children?
I have a 9 mo old daughter and a 2 year old son who isn't speaking yet. He has poor cognitive skills due to having crossed eyes since birth and has had surgeries to correct them and still more to come. He will be seeing a speech and child development therapist next month. Each having different abilities, my daughter is showing signs of catching on earlier than my son did, yet that may be cause her eyes are not crossed. I was just wondering, what are the best learning toys out there that are the appropriate age for my two children?I didn't say his speaking has anything to do with his eyes, yet his dr said it might, seeing how he couldn't even see our face to watch us say the words we've been trying to teach him. Got him evaluated by SoonerStart and he is at the learning level of an 11 mo old so anything we do or try could help. He does have the house one of you mentioned. He has tons of toys, just doesn't seem interested in most. Dr said he just may not see them that well. Is more interested in trucks and things with wheels. Won't let me read to him because he can't see the pictures, or at least shows no interest in them. Thanks though for all your answers.
Answer:
Visual impairments may contribute to speech delays, but usually they are severe impairments. The doctors would know best on that one. As one person wrote, the old fashioned toys are best. Blocks are open ended and inspire a child's imagination. My son, who also has a speech delay and one eye that wonders in (and will need surgery), his wooden train set is his favorite. I have a blog reviewing natural, developmentally appropriate toys:http://www.ecochildsplay.comReading to your child is the most important thing you can do. Keep reading, even if he doesn't show interest. You can read to him while he plays. Telling him stories is a great activity too, that may lead to books. Also, talk to him all the time! Speak constantly about what you are doing so that he hears language and can build his receptive vocabulary. How is his hearing? Good luck with your little ones!

Question : early childhood project creating a toy?
HELP! I have a project due on sunday, and no ideas what to do it with. The college level class I'm taking is called Child Development. I'm supposed to create a toy for an infant in early, middle or late infancy stages. so a toy for up to about a year old. I need to be able to take a picture or draw it, then write about it, about how it is developmentally appropiate. i just need an idea of what kind of toy i can create. i don't really have any at all. at least none that i think would work. the ONLY thing that i could think of was maybe a puzzle and when the child puts in the correct piece it presses a button that says what the piece is... example.... the puzzle is of colored shapes, and when the child correctly puts in the blue square... the audio puzzle says "Blue square" .... but i don't really think its age appropiate, i think it might be for a little bit older children. can anyone give me ANY ideas??? please?! thank you in advance for your help!!!

Question : Can multiple colds, and minor health issues cause an infant to have delayed development?
My little one cried from the time she was one month old until she was 6 months old. Non stop, colic type crying all hours she was awake. The best we and the Dr. could determine was it was acid reflux, but medication would help for only a short time and then suddenly lose it's effect. She grew out of it early but by 6 months old was showing significant developmental delays. We saw improvement but as she began cutting teeth and had a couple of minor issues, she still had a rough time and wasn't a very happy baby. By 11 months old she was sitting up, crawling and able to say dadadada (not meaning Daddy). Just before her first birthday she developed a horrible cold, ear infection, etc, that basically didn't go away for two months. During that time she stopped being vocal at all, and now (at 15 months), for the past month or so she's just doing "aaaahhh" type sounds but has made tremendous progress in other areas, she's happy, more outgoing, more attentive to things going on around her, more interested in actually playing with toys, can stand while holding onto something, walk around furniture, etc. I was very happy with this progress but her pediatrician, not so much. She still thinks something is "missing." She has been getting pt/ot and is being referred for speech therapy too, and her Doctor also wants her to be seen by a developmental specialist, but there's a huge waiting list. So in the meantime I'm just wondering if anyone else has had an experience with their child's temporary medical problems interfering with development. (Also, she began early intervention at 6 months, has been evaluated for hearing and vision with no problems.)
Answer:
It's never a bad thing to see a great specialist with experience in areas that could help your child. In the meantime, write it all down - every milestone and when it was met - so that you have an account to give to the developmental ped. It will help the doctor and help you. Like you I have a child that was not developing like others his age, and I really hoped that it was because of ear infections and other illnesses. That was not the case.If there are significant delays and you can get a diagnosis now, you will be on a great road road to helping your daughter.

Question : toys games and books that promote psychosocial physical and cognitive development?
what are the benefits of toys games and books relative to the psychosocial physical and cognitive development of early childhood children?
Answer:
Basic blocks, balls, and cardboard boxes; these can become anything from a car to a castle.Any old Tupper-ware cups, and tumblers, place them a in sandbox, and let their imagination go.Play-doh, or shaving cream, add a table to spray this on, and let the little fingers do the talking.Get a newspaper roll of paper, markers, and crayons; young Picasso's will emerge.Go to a thrift store, and buy items to play dress up; hats, dresses, shirts, and such.Believe me, it does not take a PhD, or a toy store.
