[quote=Anonymous]Instead of focusing on being attentive parents (and nanny) I would focus on being facilitators to her independent play. try to really simplify her environment to allow for easy, engrossing, safe solo play. Janet Lansbury and the kavanaugh report can help. Look for articles about yes spaces and toys that make the child do the work. It probably means (temporarily) removing older kids toys and rearranging things. It’s made a big difference for my easily frustrated 18 mo old who isn’t talking. Because the environment is set up for his developmental stage, he plays and “reads” on his own for long stretches several times per day. Those times regulate him and give me breaks so I’m not as triggered. [/quote]
