Kids with Ds can have trouble with speech and delays again due to low muscle tone. Some kids can be non-verbal, but I think Hannah already has a good start - lots of babbling and DAs and BAs. She’ll wave and mimic the “all done” sign. Shake her head “no.”
Hannah is now going from her belly to sitting... however, not the way she ought to. In the video attached you can see the “wrong” way she’s doing it - doh! Ideally she’d bring her knees up and go to the side. So we’re excited for the wrong reason - ha!
Hopefully she’ll continue to gain strength and movement towards the right way.
Yay, Hannah! It may be wrong, but, the strength is improving!
ReplyDeleteActually, I remember being so envious of the girls in my ballet class who could do that. We worked on being able to accomplish that move. I never did.
ReplyDeletePS-What did parents back in the day do without "experts" around to tell us what we/our children are doing wrong!?
ReplyDeleteWhoah. Her way is awesome!
