MILESTONES

In the first two years, children undergo major transformations and firsts each day.

During these formative years, gross motor skills develop as they mature in awareness, capability, and personality.

Achieving milestones in the areas of physical strength, emotional strength and mental integration, requires an awareness by both parents and caregivers as the influences of development in early childhood becomes the foundational paradigm for each individual child.

Nurturing all aspects, there are applied skills that can be utilized to foster these innate abilities to connect with themselves and the world around them. 

Solid foodS AND TEETHING

Teething for a young spirit depends on their ability to manage stress. Offering baby pain management through gentle techniques such as song, baby massage, recommended teething products, tylenol administration, and heaps of patience, this necessary milestone becomes one of compassion for both the infant and parens amidst their pain. Utilizing breathing practices and keeping the child proactive, the amount of trauma accompanied with teething can be mitigated and supported with a sincere presence.

The approach to introducing foods is one of thought and effort along with the development of the child themselves. Foods should be introduced systematically and preferably with nutrient rich ingredients to feed the body and brains development.

Inter personal//Socializing

In order for infants to thrive, they need to be coached through exercises such as tummy time, crawling, walking, and all modalities inbetween. While these innate abilities are learned through modulation, the positive reinforcement during this time can be personality developing. Moon Goddess Mama has found musical instruments and sounds overwhelmingly useful when applied to hand eye coordination, physical awareness, and overall level of pleasure for the infant. As the child begins to identify with their growing abilities, so the desire begins to share experiences in connection with others. 

Humans are animals of instinct and thrive with teachings of gentle touch, sharing with others, practicing empathy, and learning through secure attachment. Moon Goddess Mama will accompany the child to local learning environments including museums, library's, parks, indoor play areas, swimming pools, music classes, etc. 

As the baby matures into toddler phase, potty training and temper tantrum management tactics become significant. Early problem solving skills can deliver a toddler from the struggle of limitations. 

Language 

Verbal and nonverbal communication skills are both innate and developed within a child's surroundings. It is important that during this time the child is well listened to and receives appropriate responses. 

Moon Goddess Mama teaches sign language to promote visual cues to word association, gross motor development, one-one connection, spacial awareness and foundational learning structures.  Learning body parts through choreographed repetition, children are able to develop dynamic language skills along with fine motor skills. 

Moon Goddess Mama promotes early literacy and values the wisdom reading books offers the logical brain and emotional brain. Stimulating whole brain integration, selected books promote comprehension of concepts such as diversity, emotional intelligence, learning, kindness, responsibility, animals, various languages, joy, value of friendships, potty training, imagination, alphabet, and love.
