What is your win this week, small or large? It could be a win for your child or a win for you as a parent/caregiver! Mine: My son traveled on an airplane yesterday with no screens and did a great job! The easiest flight we've had yet. I look forward to hearing from some of you!

It can be extremely beneficial for our kids if we learn to look for the wins, both big and small! Mine: My son hates the car (city kid) but he rode for 1 hour today without a tantrum! What is 1 small win you’ve noticed this week? More attention? Interest in a new toy or book? A new gesture? Let us know!

Not necessarily a win but my 15 month old loves it when I pick him and spin him around and every time I do it I say ‘woah’. Well when I picked him up this morning and spun him around, every time I would stop he would say ‘woah’ as a method of communicating that he wanted me to do it again. I was just reflecting on the interaction and how amazing it is that he finds ways to communicate his desires one way or another. We’ve come along way from expecting delays due to his early hospitalizations to now bursting with language growth and I’m just in awe and very happy.

So last night was the first time he’s ever signed more, I was honestly ready to give up and thought he just wasn’t going to do it. Today he was interested in my apple and so I bit off tiny pieces for him to try, he said apple after I named it and he also signed more and said more after he ate the initial piece. During the same interaction he pointed to the apple and I asked him if he wanted more, and I’m not sure if it was intentional or not but he said yea

Progress doesn’t have to be big to matter! Sometimes it’s: - a new sound - a new word - more eye contact - taking a turn - trying something (e.g., food, activity) they usually avoid 💬 If you're comfortable, share one win or piece of progress you’ve noticed recently
