First words

Last week was very motivating as we almost achieved our targets which we felt were challenging from what our targets used to be.
This week we are going to learn new words
1. Up up up....by playing game of taking a doll or ball in hand....and first say up up up then move the toy up. Then we wait for the child to do it. Separate toy in hand of child.
Chehel already does this as there was a song in babybeats cd from AB. I have been bombarding this word all day to her everytime she wants to be picked up or wants to come up in chair or go upstairs.
2. Round and round....singing the song round and round the garden and drawing circle on her hand with fingers...she enjoys the tickle at the end. Also, drawing circles in book and asking her to join...while i keep repeating round and round.
3. Wash wash...Shall we go for a wash...and actually take her to wash her hands in the sink....washing her toys utensils in her play kitchen. Washing her body while having a bath.

Also doing 6 ling sound test everyday with conditioned listening. Use a building blocks tower to build each time child hears the sound.

How did it go? We achieved round and round and up...but wash...she did not understand it yet...but she did achieve it by next week.

Music...I will say that Chehel now understands music...yesterday when I put the song five little ducks went swim....she said 'ahh ahh' in the rhyme wherever it had 'mummy duck said quack quack'.

Learning fo listen sounds

There is a list of sounds which are appealing to a child's brain and so ate good as a starter.
I am very lucky to have found a speech therapist from India who is coaching us every week on skype.

We have new standards for progress each week... I believe and everyone in India believes...the more problems you expose expose the child to...the more the child learns.
Same goes for speech therapy...more exposure to sounds and words and language each day...increases auditory processing capacity.

We had new targets to get child to listen and understand and discriminate
1. Hop hop rabbit
2. Ba ba bus
3. Beep beep car

Guess what...we challenged ourselves...achieved it and surprised ourselves. I believe our therapist is God send as God wants us to do more and sucess in speech therapy comes with motivation.

Chehel now started vocalising aaa back for plane with the correct intonation.  She even points to dog when prompted woof woof.

Awareness of music

We already play the game of dance when mumusic starts and stop when it stops. If she is in mood she will do it with musical instruments or box of toys.

Working on.....

understanding of music from a electronic device such as mobile.
Also,  singing rhymes without any action to make her recognize it.

Wind the bobbin up.
Heads shoulders knees and toes.
The wheels on the bus.
Twinkle twinkle...
Old mc Donald....
