NO!
Sweet Peas' favorite word - sometimes - is NO! When asked to do something or go somewhere or any other request can result in a firm "no!" if the mood fits. This is very common for the toddler age but common or not - it gets really ignoring! Here is one thing that we have done with some success. Say "no" back when requests are made of you. ...

Letter Progression Worksheets
One of the newest items to the ABCJLM website is the Letter Progression Worksheets. While working with Bubs on writing his lowercase letters, I found that we made great gains when I showed him the connection between similar letters. Instead of having to learn 26 letters, he learned a few groups and the task wasn't near as daunting. I have not ...

This said, we will be ...
Before You Start…

But, every time that she tries to sit down with her son, he stalls and complains about it. Instead of being a time of learning and fun, it becomes a long-drawn-out war. She believes that her son has the ability to read but he ...

Down Few Weeks
It has been a tough few weeks around here with Bubs. The OT has seen a difference at our last two therapy appointments as well. Behavior wise Bubs is very spacey and defiant. He has begun to put his hands to his ears when he is in trouble. Of course this insubordinate behavior is not acceptable in our home and consequences occur. Today he picked ...
