Podcasts about toddler development

We speak with Dr. Tovah P. Klein, professor of psychology at Barnard College and the director of the Center for Toddler Development, about her book, “Raising Resilience: How to Help Our Children Thrive in Times of Uncertainty.” Dr. Klein describes how parents and teachers should build children's resilience BEFORE anything frightening or traumatic occurs. Most importantly, children and teens need to know they will never be alone, that their parents or trusted adults will always be there for them. The post Resilience: Preparing Children to Weather Traumatic Events first appeared on Ethical Schools.

Today's episode couldn't be more timely. We're exploring the important topic of resilience and how to support our kids in navigating challenging times. Joining me is Dr. Tovah Klein, author of the insightful new book Raising Resilience: How to Help Our Children Thrive in Times of Uncertainty. Dr. Klein is a renowned developmental psychologist and the director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development. With over 30 years of experience, she's dedicated her career to understanding what children need to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. She's a sought-after advisor to children's media and organizations, including National Geographic Kids and Apple TV+.  In her latest book, Tovah explains why resilience isn't a fixed trait but a skill that can be nurtured through supportive relationships and intentional parenting practices. And so in today's conversation, we unpack what it means to be an anchor and container for our children, explore the five pillars of resilience—security and trust, emotional regulation, agency, social connection, and self-acceptance—and discuss why understanding our own emotional baggage is key to helping our kids build resilience.   I love the way Tovah frames resiliency as a skill that is built together between parents and children because so often we think of it as an individual characteristic. And as you'll hear in this conversation, it all starts with the connection between us. There's so much food for thought and hope.    About Dr. Tovah Klein Tovah P.

In this episode, Lisa and Tovah discuss:The nuisance stressors your teen has to handle every day. Building resilience in the face of uncertainty. What it means to be a buffer for your child. Parenting styles that have been beneficial or harmful to building resiliency in teams.Why you have to work on yourself to build resiliency in your children and teens.Key Takeaways: Stressors happen to your teen every single day. Helping them through these nuisance stressors will help them build the resilience to handle any stressor.As a child's arousal to the stressor increases, the parent tunes in to the child to connect with them in what they need. Over time, your child will learn to manage that stress on their own because they know they are not alone. Holding healthy boundaries helps your children build resilience. Boundaries can come from a gentle place of care and communication and aren't harmful. Children need their parents to make the hard decisions and hold those boundaries.Building resilience in your child begins with you.  “It's so important that parents be forgiving of themselves because it is in this relationship that our teens learn how to succeed, however, you want to define success, and resilience is part of that success.” – Dr. Tovah KleinAbout Dr. Tovah Klein: Tovah P.

In this episode of Talking Toddlers, we examine a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of early child development: YOU. Yes, that's right—this conversation focuses on YOU - the mama, the parent, and grandparent. While much of the dialogue around toddler development centers on the child, it's essential to recognize the SIGNIFICANT role you play in shaping their progress.We'll explore WHY your involvement is paramount, HOW to self-reflect and evaluate your approach, and the IMPACT of your daily interactions. -- Before diving into developmental charts and milestones, take a moment—perhaps at the end of the day or early in the morning—to consider some essential questions about your role.Understand that YOU are your toddler's number one influence. -- By making small adjustments in how you show up, you can profoundly impact your child's development. Whether you're filled with love, worry, exhaustion, or even dealing with other personal challenges — remember that you CAN and DO make a difference.-- We'll break down the raw facts of your child's waking hours and compare them to the time spent with professionals. Despite the expertise of speech therapists and early intervention specialists, you have a substantial 70 hours a week with your toddler. — These are the hours that truly count.Join me, Erin, as we discuss practical ways to leverage your unique position to support your child's speech and language growth and development. -- It's not about doing it all perfectly; it's about being present, intentional, and believing in your ability to guide your child. Tune in to learn how you can make a lasting difference, supported by neuroscience, human biology, and over 35 years of my experience in the field.CONNECT WITH ERINwww.HyerLearning.comcontact@HyerLearning.comJoin the Waitlist CLICK HEREOUTSIDE LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE:Sensory Processing IntegrationJean Ayres, PhD Occupational Therapist

Dr. Kathy considers some new data from JAMA Pediatrics on the way screen time stunts toddler development. However, screen time before four induces debilitating behaviors more than stunting the development. But what are we supposed to do as tired parents who can't enter into a two-year-old's world? Dr. Kathy has some important insights and encouragements as we engage a world that envelops our family with technology that promises education but falls short in delivery.

Dr. Dan and Dr. Tovah Klein (“The Toddler Whisperer,” professor, author, parent) discuss ChatGPT, AI, education, and the digital lives of our children. Recently, Dr. Klein has been featured in the national media discussing artificial intelligence and safety, ubiquitous screens, tech and parenting fears, and related issues. This discussion is timely and essential as we start 2024 with more digital innovation and access than ever.   In addition Dr. Dan and Dr. Klein also discuss Tovah's important work around child stress and childhood trauma. (Her research focuses on young children's social and emotional development, parental influences on early development, and parents' experiences raising young children, including the challenges of combining work and family. She also studies children's play as a means to communicate and process emotions and stressful experiences.) Dr. Tovah P. Klein is Director, Barnard College Center for Toddler Development, Psychology professor, Barnard College; she holds a doctorate in Psychology from Duke University and completed clinical training at Boston Children's Hospital. She was an intern at the Yale Child Study Center and a visiting research scholar at UCLA.   For more information about Dr. Klein and her books visit https://howtoddlersthrive.com/ Email your parenting questions to Dr. Dan podcast@drdanpeters.com (we might answer on a future episode).

A roundtable discussion about the clinical application of Mobility as a Human Right!Mobility is a fundamental human right and is supported by the United Nations and the ON Time Mobility framework. W Logan, Bethany M Sloane, Lisa K Kenyon, Heather A Feldner PMID: 37232636 PMCID: PMC10215286 DOI: 10.3390/bs13050399 Free PMC article Abstract Mobility is a fundamental human right and is supported by the United Nations and the ON Time Mobility framework. The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of a powered mobility intervention on developmental changes of children with cerebral palsy (CP). This study was a randomized, crossover clinical trial involving 24 children (12-36 months) diagnosed with CP or with high probability of future CP diagnosis based on birth history and current developmental status. Children received the Explorer Mini and a modified ride-on car in randomized order, each for 8 weeks. The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-4th Edition was administered at baseline, mid-study, and end-of-study. Raw change scores were used for analysis. Total minutes of use per device was categorised as low or high use for analysis based on caregiver-reported driving diaries. Explorer Mini: The high use group exhibited significantly greater positive change scores compared to the low use group on receptive communication, expressive communication, and gross motor sub scales (p less than 0.05). Modified ride-on car: No significant differences between low and high use groups. Regardless of device, low use was associated with no significant developmental change and high use was associated with positive developmental changes. Mobility access is critical to maximize the development of children with CP and may be augmented by using powered mobility devices. Results may have implications for the development of evidence-based guidelines on dosage for powered mobility use. Keywords: cerebral palsy; disability; mobility; technology.

Regression is what happens when a child revisits an earlier stage of his or her development– and behaves accordingly. Paradoxically, regression can happen right after a child makes a developmental leap or meets a new milestone. Dr. Tovah Klein, director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development, suggests that regression is a manifestation of the constant push-and-pull little kids feel between the need for dependence and the desire for independence. But how are parents supposed to react? Are we supposed to let them start dragging their blankie to pre-K? Is pushback totally required or a terrible idea? In this episode, we discuss what works to discourage the regressive behavior, how to know when to just allow or ignore it, and how to do with our own stress that yes, actually our child will be the first person in history to walk down the aisle at college graduation still using a pacifier.  Here are links to some writing on the topic that we discuss in this episode:  Caroline Vollans for Nursery World: An Essential Guide To Regression Melinda Wenner Moyer for the New York Times: Wait, I Thought You Had Outgrown This Unity Point: Regressive Behavior: Signs of Child Regression & What to Do Special thanks to our sponsors: Stellar Eats creates healthy treats with delicious flavor and perfect texture using 8 (or fewer) real food ingredients because we want you to enjoy your favorite foods and feel amazing.

In this episode of the Sense by Meg Faure podcast; "Thriving Toddler: Taming Tantrums & Sleep Solutions", I welcomed my guest, Cassidy, to explore various aspects of toddler development and effective parenting techniques. Our discussion revolved around Cassidy's 18-month-old son, Max, as she sought guidance on managing toddler tantrums, nurturing language development, and addressing sleep issues. Join us as we dive into these crucial topics and offer insights into raising a thriving toddler. Toddler Development and Word Explosion: Cassidy began by sharing Max's remarkable progress with language development. I highlighted the significance of "serve and return" in fostering language skills, emphasizing the importance of active listening and responding. We discussed how to gently correct a child's pronunciation without discouraging their attempts to communicate. Toddler Tantrums and Emotions: The conversation shifted to dealing with toddler tantrums and emotional outbursts. Cassidy described Max's challenging moments, and I offered valuable advice on the ABC method, setting boundaries, implementing time-outs effectively, and understanding the underlying causes of tantrums. We stressed the importance of maintaining a loving and connected relationship even during discipline. Additionally, the Positive Boundaries course was referenced in the context of setting effective boundaries for toddlers. Sleep Challenges and Solutions: Sleep issues were another key concern. Cassidy shared her experiences with Max's sleep regressions and disruptions caused by environmental factors like a broken heater and noisy radiators. I advised on maintaining a consistent sleep routine, considering Max's day sleep patterns, and addressing nighttime awakenings caused by nightmares or discomfort. I suggested using a nightlight and incorporating deep pressure techniques to comfort Max. For additional sleep-related guidance, Cassidy mentioned the Sleep Sense course. Conclusion: This podcast; "Thriving Toddler: Taming Tantrums & Sleep Solutions" delved into essential aspects of toddlerhood, from sensory personalities, language development, tantrums to sleep challenges and emotional well-being. By emphasizing the "serve and return" approach, maintaining connection during discipline, and addressing sleep hygiene, parents can navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging journey of raising a thriving toddler.

P., Chew, A., Falconer, S., Dimitrova, R., Cordero-Grande, L., Price, A. N., Hughes, E., O'Muircheartaigh, J., Duff, E., Tuulari, J. J., Deco, G., Counsell, S. J., Nosarti, C., Arichi, T., Edwards, D., McAlonan, G., Batalle, D. Abstract: Brain functional dynamics have been linked to emotion and cognition in mature individuals, where alterations are associated with mental ill-health and neurodevelopmental conditions (such as autism spectrum disorder). Although reliable resting-state networks have been consistently identified in neonates, little is known about the early development of dynamic brain functional connectivity and whether it is linked to later neurodevelopmental outcomes in childhood. In this study we characterised dynamic functional connectivity in the first few weeks of postnatal life and evaluated whether early dynamic functional connectivity: i) changes with age in the neonatal period ii) is altered by preterm birth and iii) is associated with neurodevelopmental and behavioural outcomes at 18 months. We used the Kuramoto Order Parameter as a metric of global brain synchrony and defined transient brain states (modules) using Leading Eigenvector Analysis (LEiDA) in a cohort of term-born (n=324) and preterm-born babies (n=66) scanned at term equivalent age from the developing Human Connectome Project. We assessed whether neonatal brain state features (mean synchrony, metastability, entropy, fractional occupancy, dwelling times) and state transition probabilities were associated with postmenstrual age at scan , postnatal days at scan and preterm-birth; and correlate with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 months measured using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, and atypical social, sensory and repetitive behaviours measured by the Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT). On a global scale, preterm-born infants had lower mean synchronisation and metastability, with reduced mean synchronisation associated with higher Q-CHAT scores at 18 months of age. On a modular scale, we identified six transient states of neonatal dynamic functional connectivity: three whole-brain synchronisation states and three regional synchrony states occupying occipital, sensory-motor, and frontal regions. Mean synchrony, metastability, fractional occupancy and dwelling times of these brain states were correlated with postmenstrual age and postnatal days at scan. Preterm-born infants had increased fractional occupancy of frontal and occipital states. Higher neonatal sensory-motor synchronisation was associated with lower motor and language outcome scores at 18 months. Lower frequency of occurrence of whole-brain synchronisation states and higher frequency of occurrence of the sensory-motor state were associated with higher Q-CHAT scores at 18 months. Thus, we have shown for the first time that a dynamic landscape of brain connectivity is already established by the time of birth in the human brain. This landscape is altered by preterm birth and its profile is linked to neurodevelopmental outcomes in toddlerhood. Copy rights belong to original authors.

S., Fenn-Moltu, S., Hadaya, L., Harper, N., Ciarrusta, J., Charman, T., Murphy, D., Arichi, T., McAlonan, G., Nosarti, C., Edwards, D., Batalle, D. Abstract: Importance: Autism traits typically emerge between the ages of 1 and 2. It is not known if experiences which increase the likelihood of childhood autism are related to early trait emergence, or if other exposures are more important. Identifying factors linked to toddler autism traits may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying atypical neurodevelopment. Objective: To characterise the association between 18-month autism traits and clinical, socio-demographic, and parental factors. Design: This is a cohort study of toddlers (n=536). Clinical, socio-demographic, and parental information was collected at birth (gestational age at birth, sex, maternal body mass index, age, parental education level, parental first language, parental history of neurodevelopmental disorders) and at 18 months (parent cohabiting status, two measures of social deprivation, three measures of maternal parenting style, and a measure of maternal postnatal depression). General neurodevelopment was assessed with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition (BSID-III), and autism traits were assessed using the Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT). Multivariable models were used to identify associations between variables and Q-CHAT. A model including BSID-III was used to identify factors associated with Q-CHAT independent of general neurodevelopment. Models were also evaluated addressing variable collinearity with principal component analysis (PCA). Setting: Single centre (London, UK). Participants: Sub-sample from the developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP). Results: A multivariable model explained 20% of Q-CHAT variance, with four individually significant variables (two measures of parenting style and two measures of socio-economic deprivation). After adding general neurodevelopment into the model 37% of Q-CHAT variance was explained, with three individually significant variables (two measures of parenting style and one measure of language development). After addressing variable collinearity with PCA, experience of early life adversity was positively correlated with Q-CHAT score via a single principal component, independently of general neurodevelopment. Neither sex nor family history of autism were associated with Q-CHAT score. Conclusions and Relevance: Our findings question whether potential autism diagnoses are being missed in more socially deprived groups, or if there are unidentified factors influencing the likelihood of transitioning from early traits at age 18 months to a clinical autism diagnosis in childhood.

Regression is what happens when a child revisits an earlier stage of his or her development– and behaves accordingly. Paradoxically, regression can happen right after a child makes a developmental leap or meets a new milestone. Dr. Tovah Klein, director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development, suggests that regression is a manifestation of the constant push-and-pull little kids feel between the need for dependence and the desire for independence. But how are parents supposed to react? Are we supposed to let them start dragging their blankie to pre-K? Is pushback totally required or a terrible idea? In this episode, we discuss what works to discourage the regressive behavior, how to know when to just allow or ignore it, and how to do with our own stress that yes, actually our child will be the first person in history to walk down the aisle at college graduation still using a pacifier.  Here are links to some writing on the topic that we discuss in this episode:  Caroline Vollans for Nursery World: An Essential Guide To Regression Melinda Wenner Moyer for the New York Times: Wait, I Thought You Had Outgrown This Unity Point: Regressive Behavior: Signs of Child Regression & What to Do Special thanks to our sponsors: Hey Honey is the first complete skin care line infused with Honey and Bee Propolis.

In today's episode, I'm answering one of my frequently asked questions right now, and that's around how coronavirus quarantine and lockdown will impact baby and toddler social and emotional development.

The Covid-19 crisis isn’t easy to bear as adults but what about young kids and teenagers? How are they coping with virtual learning, changes to their routines, and quarantine? Even before the pandemic, an increasing number of kids were experiencing anxiety, depression, and suicide. How can parents best support kids who may be dealing with additional stressors now? A panel of child experts including Tovah Klein, director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development, and Lisa Damour, adolescent psychologist and author of Under Stress, weigh in. They’re interviewed by Kate Julian, a senior editor at The Atlantic who’s latest story is “The Anxious Child, and the Crisis of Modern Parenting.”

In this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, I speak with founder and creator of You Plus 2 Parenting, Rachel Cedar, MSW.  For any parent facing the daunting task of adding a new baby to your family dynamics, Rachel offers insight and practical tips to help ease this transition.  This episode is wonderful for parents, grandparents, friends and caregivers to give you tools to adjusting to this wonderful family growth! In this Episode:  What is “Sibling Prep” is and why it’s important. A good time to get started with prepping your child(ren) and how to begin. Some mothers who already have two children think they do not need to consider prepping their siblings, what might they find useful about still considering this step in preparation for the next baby? What to do if your child asks for more details about how the baby was made or how the baby comes out and you’re not ready for a birds & bees conversation? Some useful tools for preparation. Tools for the mother to create a new routine once the new child arrives. What to do your child says he/she doesn’t want a new sibling. Why play is integral to sibling prep. How you can prepare for separation from your older child while you are away giving birth or how you can prepare your child for a home birth. How you can introduce the new baby to the older sibling(s). How you can address your child’s feelings once you are all home and back together again.
