Lap tickle games for babies

Kind regards. I made the transition from school SLP to private therapist about a year ago. While the change was welcome, it was a lot, and I was just getting my footing in the clinic when I began teletherapy full time. Your website has been a huge lifeline in helping me work with late talkers and coach their parents in an accessible but effective way, even remotely. I look forward to getting your emails each week. A sincere thank you for all you do!

I am truly grateful for the way you put into words and writing how to do what we do as SLPs. At this time in my 13 years of practicing, I find your encouragement keeps me going. As a single mom, I find it a stretch to buy materials these days and I am so thankful for the freebies you so generously share that help me teach my families.

Much gratitude!! All website sales support our free mission-based speech therapy clinic for underserved toddlers and preschoolers in the rolling hills of central Kentucky where the Bluegrass meets the Appalachians.

Your Baby's Vision Development. Follow us on. My niece is 5 now and I sure do miss the days of getting to lift and bounce her on my lap. Hello I will start my first experience with story-time. I am so excited about that. I have been reading all your ideas and planning. Thank you so much for sharing.

I have some questions for you. Do you sing all the time without playing music? When should I play music? Do you provide parents with the lyrics we will be using through the storytime sessions. Thank you so much Important thing that you can advise to introduce myself the first time. Hi Lariza, thank you for your kind words! To answer your questions: Yes, I do sing all of the songs in my storytime.

While recorded music is great, I hesitate to use it solely because I do want caregivers to feel comfortable learning the songs and singing them at home like we do in storytime.

I used to have a CD player and sometimes I would play a recorded song towards the end of storytime when we played with props. I can easily flip through these during babytime so caregivers can see the lyrics. This is especially helpful to ESL families who attend. I know other librarians who post the lyrics on the walls of the room they hold storytime. Other librarians put the lyrics on bookmarks and give them out either weekly or at the end of the storytime session.

I think if you repeat the songs week to week there is less of a need to provide the lyrics on paper. She also lists songs and games from around the world. Bouncing baby on your knee or ankle with foot action, either facing in or facing out. On the last line, my dad would always drop his knee quickly downward and back up. I remember my grandparents doing this with us as well. There were two songs:. Trotty horse, trotty horse, quick-a come-a dill, Girls go to market and boys go to mill, Girls with the apples and the pears and the plums, Boys with the fingers and the toes and the thumbs, Dot, da-da dee-dum, dee-dum!
