Avoid Preschool Psychosis! 7 Tips for Choosing a Preschool
If the very thought of choosing a preschool has you reaching for the vodka or mumbling, half-glazed, something about home-schooling your toddler in Bali, you are suffering from Preschool Psychosis! But have no fear! We have some tips to help you through. When visiting a preschool take a look around:
- Do the children look happy, calm, engaged? You should see the children engrossed in activities. You want to observe positive interactions between the children and their teachers, who should exhibit warmth and interest in the children. See if the teachers get down to eye-level with the kids when they talk to them. If the children all rush over with beseeching looks when you enter the room: be wary! They should be sufficiently involved and stimulated in what they are doing to ignore you.
- What is ration of children to teachers? According to T. Berry Brazelton, MD, the optimal ration for a classroom of 3 year olds is 1 adult: 7 children. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) recommends at least two teachers for groups of all ages.
- And Speaking of the NAEYC… This is the accrediting body for the Academy of Early Education Programs. See if the preschool is accrediting by this board. Because the board takes up to one year to complete its accreditation, your school of choice may still be involved in the process. In any case, it’s a good sign if the school has passed through this system.
- Are the teachers and caregivers trained in early childhood development and education? Preschool personnel who have specialized training in childhood development are usually more capable of providing an age and stage appropriate social and emotional environment. They will understand that toys and activities, as well as social interactions, should vary by age. They will therefore have realistic expectations for the children in their charge.
- Is there a good balance between cognitive and social/emotional skills? Perhaps the most important thing a child will acquire in preschool is the ability to interact with peers. Make sure there is ample time given for social interaction and imaginative play ( a dress-up area, a “kitchen” area). Make sure all “lessons”, art projects and activities are ones where the child takes the lead, where the learning is respectful-not intrusive-and all such activities are developmentally based.
- What is the environment like? Preschools should be safe and clean…but not too clean!! A certain amount of joyful mess is a good sign. They should be stimulating…but not too stimulating!!! Contrary to popular belief, children do not need to be bombarded with input 24/7. Make sure there is a soft area for books and other quiet activities.
- Does the school treat you as an ally…or an intrusive adversary? Preschool is the beginning of a long relationship between you, your child and the academic settings you all will become a vital part of. Make sure your schools of choice have a team attitude toward you, the parents. If they do not allow unscheduled “drop-ins”: run for the hills! Insist on frequent communication from the staff: including those caregivers who are with your child on the play yard and at nap.
We know that choosing a preschool can be a daunting task. Hopefully these tips are a helpful start. We at the Early Childhood Development Associates have been helping families navigate this process for years. Feel free to call us when those first signs of Preschool Psychosis appear!

More Reasons to Focus on “Tummy Time”
A “Tummy Time” Play Date
I had a very enjoyable lunch last week with Charmayne Ross PT, DS.
Charmayne is the director of physical therapy at Dynamic Therapies off the 210 freeway in Arcadia. Charmayne was so glad to hear that our staff is offering a “Tummy time” workshop next month on March 25 at 1 PM at the Hollywood Pump Station (to sign up). She shares our concern that babies are not spending enough time on their tummies during awake and play time since the Back to Sleep Campaign began. In addition to gross motor delays Charmayne reported that she and her colleagues are also seeing more “acquired torticollis” and ” positional plagiocephaly ” in their clinic. “Acquired torticollis” occurs when a baby’s head is maintained primarily in one position. Charmayne says that although supine sleeping (back to sleep) continues to be recommended as the safest position for the majority of babies, prone positioning for play , aka: “Tummy Time” even in small amounts may relate to faster achievement of developmental milestones.
We are excited to have the opportunity to teach parents some fun ways for babies to enjoy “tummy time” in our upcoming workshop. Whether it’s “tummy time'” on a boppy or “tummy time” in your arms as you slowly dance and “fly” in the air to Laurie Berkner’s song “Goin’ On An Airplane”, it all counts and it all helps your baby’s development. It’s fun too!

Twin Parenting: Nurturing Individuality Part 1: One on One Time
Twin Parenting
Time alone with each of your children is an essential part of nurturing you child’s sense of individuality, confidence, and sense of self. The challenges of twin parenting mean that giving this kind of essential time to each of your children requires special attention, organization, and commitment. It also requires many parents to put aside what might feel like a “benefit” of having twins, such as the special responses that being in public with twins might elicit. After all the hard work, guilt, and sleeplessness, it feels good to be acknowledged by strangers who reflect that twin parents, “have their hands full”, and must have super-parent like qualities! In addition, spending time with one child might also require a twin parent to temporarily suspend the guilt they might have for not attending to the child who is not with them. Reminding oneself of the importance of one-on-one time is key when the child who is left behind protests as you depart with their sibling.
Babies learn to know who they are through their interactions with others, first and foremost, their parents. Time alone allows you to identify your baby’s unique needs and characteristics. When you can identify their unique needs and characteristics, you are able to respond more sensitively. Sensitive responsiveness enhances the bond between you and your child, and this strengthened bond gives them a more secure and safe experience of their world. In addition, sensitive and in-tuned responsiveness helps your child to know themselves. When you reflect back to them your own enhanced understanding of them, your child knows and understands herself better. This self-awareness lays the foundation for each child’s sense of herself in relation to others and to the world.
This interactive process happens when you give your undivided attention to each child during one on one time. Even the best of us are not able to do this well when we have to care for two at the same time. Many twin parents find the idea somewhat daunting. If this is the case, I suggest starting small. If dad isn’t available, enlist another adult, a family member, babysitter, or nanny to help you. Make it a regular part of your routine. Start early, even when your babies are very young, they can benefit from a walk around the neighborhood alone with mom. With older babies and children, it may help to make the experience with the non-mom caretaker even more exciting. You can do this with “favorite” toys or outings selected only for non-mom one-on-one times, while you do routine errands or stay at home during one-on-one times.
Last but not least, one-on-one time enables your child to develop a stronger bond with their twin sibling. After all, no one wants to spend 24/7 with anyone!
We are excited about our new Twins Group starting at the Hollywood Pump Station on Monday, February 7th at 10am. For more information or to register, call 323-655-5580 or email us at www.ecdevelopment.org

Playing with Your Baby & Promoting Development at 4 Months
6 Characteristics of Your 4 Month Old Baby’s Development
1. Eye & head movements are well coordinated
2. Vocalizes, squeals, “talks” to people
3. maintains grasp on objects and brings them to mouth
4. Raises head to 90 degrees on tummy
5. head is steady now when supported in sitting
6. enjoys repeating newly learned activities
Suggestions for Developmental Play at 4 months
Interactive Visual and Auditory Play Activities:
l. Continue to encourage baby to follow people and objects with his eyes.
2. Scarves, shakers, and parents’ faces are especially good for this activity.
3. Encourage the grasping of objects including shakers with handles, rattles, and dangling light weight chain links in front of baby so he can reach and grab.
4. Use colored scarves for tracking and peek-a-boo games.
5. Vary voice pitch during play activities and note your baby’s preference for different sounds.
6. Partially hide when playing with baby and encourage baby to follow your voice. You can use the song , “Someone is Hiding” , taught in our “First Weeks” Group for this activity.
7. Parachute play can be a fun way to work on visual tracking while listening to music. (see picture below) Babies usually love the feeling of the gentle wind on their faces as the parachute is slowly raised and lowered overhead in time to the music.
8. Sing songs and share rhymes during your baby’s play time. Singing songs and sharing rhymes helps to develop phonological awareness which is an important part of speech development and later is an important part of learning to read.
9. Many more activities are experienced and learned in our “First Weeks” groups
Interactive Movement Activities
l. Increase “Tummy Time” in small increments as tolerated with a goal of 30 minutes per day ( in short segments, not all at once)
2. Encourage rolling from side to side, back to tummy, tummy to back using a toy for baby to follow and reach for.
3. Prop your baby in sitting position between your legs with his arms on your legs while you sit on the floor. Your abdomen will provide back support. Give him his favorite toys to play with while he sits with you. Move your baby forward and from side to side to develop balance. Gradually lessen support as your baby improves his back strength and head and neck control.
4. Encourage your baby to grab his feet when he lays on his back and while he sits.
5. Prop your baby in sitting position on your lap with a table in front. Place rattle or other toys in easy reach on the table. Encourage touching toys and grabbing.
6. Allow time for interactive social play as well as play with toys every day.
7. Introduce new textures on toys and play surfaces.
8. As you now involve your baby in preparations for feeding, bathing, bed time , he will begin to recognize familiar routines.
Parachute Play
works on visual tracking while babies feel the gentle wind as the parachute is slowly raised and lowered overhead while listening to the lovely “Parachute Song” in our “First Weeks” group
Babies watch the movement of the colorful parachute
Peek-a-boo with scarves adds visual variety
Works on visual acuity, tracking, “cause & effect”, and separationwhile having a great deal of fun!
In our “First Weeks” group we sing the “Hiding Song” during this activity which ends with “Peek-a-boo I See You!”

2. Encourage reaching towards objects by gently swiping the back of your baby’s hand with a toy such as a shaker with handle.
3. Hold objects at chest level while baby is lying on his back to encourage reaching.
4. Help bring your baby’s hands together to midline both during “Tummy Time” play and back lying positions.
5. Add the “pat-a-cake” game to play time.
6. Continue “Tummy Time” and utilize side-lying positioning for play as well.
7. In sitting position on your lap, while supporting head and neck, add gentle back and forth movements in addition to side to side movements while singing songs such as “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”, “Rock-a-bye baby”, and “Wheels on the Bus”.
8. While on back, practice slow rolling, helping baby roll with support at the hips.
9. Allow time for bare feet.
10. Place a ball in kicking range, encouraging baby to move the ball with his feet while lying on the floor on his back.
11. Continue dancing with your baby because this helps balance and provides good vestibular input. For many babies the movement of dancing is very calming. You may want to incorporate this into your baby’s bedtime routine.
12. More activities are learned and experienced in our “First Weeks” group
Dancing with your baby helps with balance, provides good vestibular input and is very calming for many babies. In our “First Weeks” class we use dancing also as a way to encourage socialization.
Parents and babies love to dance together!
While supporting baby’s head & neck Daddies in our “First Weeks” group sit babies on their laps and add gentle back and forth movements in addition to side to side movements while they sing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”.
Additional verses include “Rock, Rock, Rock Your Boat” and “Bounce, Bounce, Bounce your Boat”. Daddies watch their baby’s facial expressions and decide which type of movement their babies like the best.
This activity is great for facilitating engagement and bonding while working on head and neck control, balance, and providing great vestibular input.
Holding bright, simple, objects and colored scarves in the center of your baby’s vision works on tracking as well as visual coordination and parent-infant engagement and attachment.
Great fun!

Playing With Your Baby While Promoting Development
Two of the most frequently asked questions by new parents are:
1. How do I play with my baby?
2. What Can I do to promote my baby’s development?
Parents in our group programs receive developmental guidance and participate together in fun play activities that promote their babies’ progress towards normal developmental milestones. It is never too early to start. Even 1 month old babies can benefit from a few minutes of developmental play when they are in a nice, calm alert state between feedings. Of course, parents need to monitor their babies’ responses to developmental play and not over do it. It is important to watch for baby behavior that says “time for a break” and stop.
To promote your baby’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development, I recommend offering developmental play in 3 forms:
1. Interactive visual stimulation
2. Interactive auditory stimulation
3. Interactive movement
Make use of props like shakers, colored scarves, a parachute, music and dancing to liven things up a bit. Make it fun for you and your baby. Here are pictures of some activities we do in our “First Weeks” group.

More on Tummy Time
We’ve been talking about Tummy Time in our recent blogs. We’ve written about “5 Ways Babies do Tummy Time”, “The Importance of Tummy Time” and “8 Ways Parents can Overcome the Challenges of Tummy Time.”
I like this poem from the SIDS Alliance, www.sidsalliance.org.
BACK IS BEST FOR BABY’S SLEEP
Now you lay me down to sleep
On my back for safest keep.
It’s tummy time when I’m awake.
but back is best for sleeping breaks.
Keep quilts, toys, and pillows out of my bed.
Never put covers over or beneath my head.
Cigarettes are bad for me.
Please keep my environment smoke-free.
These may be many rules to know,
but minding them will help me grow!
Remember this rhyme when caring for kids,
and help reduce the risk of SIDS.
The challenge is how do you get your baby to do 30 minutes a day of Tummy Time when he doesn’t like it?
Our blog gave 8 suggestions.
In our “First Weeks Group” today at the Hollywood Pump Station, we introduced one of our Tummy Time dances. This one is called “Goin’ on an Airplane.” Parents held their babies in Tummy Time positions and moved them like airplanes in time with music. This activity not only gets babies into prone position (Tummy down) which counts as 3 minutes of Tummy Time but it also helps them to develop balance while offering vestibular movement and input. This is a good help to your baby’s development.
Here are some “First Weeks” group pictures. The babies all enjoyed this activity and no one protested Tummy Time. Parents had a good work out too!

8 Ways to Overcome the Challenges of Tummy Time
Tummy Time
Tummy Time is simply the time that babies spend lying and playing on their tummies and off their backs while they are awake. This time is invaluable to babies and has a ton of positive outcomes that can be great for your child. We’ve written about:
“5 Ways Babies do Tummy Time” and The Importance of Tummy Time
The truth is that Tummy Time is very important but it can be a challenge to over come your child’s protest of Tummy Time.
3 Challenges Regarding Tummy Time
1. It’s hard to get babies to play on their tummies. Before a baby can pull himself up-lying face down isn’t much fun. It’s boring and babies protest. Parents may stop doing Tummy Time.
2. Babies initially resist Tummy Time because they don’t have good control and find it hard to lift their heads. They cry. Parents may stop doing Tummy Time.
3. Because babies spend so much time on their backs sleeping, the Tummy Time position is not familiar to them and they protest because it is an unusual position. Parents may stop doing Tummy Time.
8 ways Parents Can Overcome the Challenges of Tummy Time
1. Start early, working Tummy Time into your daily routine. Example: give your baby a minute of Tummy Time after most diaper changes. Your baby will come to expect some prone positioning (tummy down) each time he is changed and will eventually enjoy it because he has become used to it.
2. Offer alternative positions in addition to prone (tummy down) and switch back and forth.
3. Join your baby on the floor for Tummy Time.
4. Use distraction with bright toys or a mirror.
5. Provide entertainment….make it fun.
6. Prop with boppy, rolled towel or firm pillow under the chest while providing support and firm pressure with your hand to the back of her bottom.
7. Tune into your baby. Experiment and notice which positions and props work best. Baby may need to suck a pacifier during Tummy Time for soothing.
8. Use music and movement. (Example: Dance to the airplane dance in the Tummy Time position, do the “tummy time dance.”)

The Importance of Tummy Time
Tummy Time is simply the time that babies spend lying and playing on their tummies and off their backs while they are awake.
Why is Tummy Time important?
Positioning babies on their tummies while awake gets them off their backs and provides a break for the posterior occiput (back of the head). It lessens the chance of a misshapen head (flat head or cranial asymmetry) and gives babies a chance to strengthen their neck and back muscles which prepares them to push up. toll over. sit up, and crawl. although the back-to-sleep campaign has effectively reduced cases of SIDS, babies now miss out on 12-15 hours of Tummy Time which they used to get during sleep. this has resulted in an increase in diagnosis of early motor delays and an increase in referrals for physical therapy. It has also increased the need for infant helmet therapy.
