For us, it begins in the bathroom when I start with a&nbsp; new child&#8211; I think of ways to get a smile. Sometimes it&#8217;s a funny face, but more often the slight touch of their cheek coupled with the face and smile.&nbsp; If they are not responding I have silly sounds adults don&#8217;t normally make, and unique to your child once I find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As days turn into weeks and weeks into months, I expand the repertoire of silliness of things they look forward to experiencing, ways to expand verbal and even more important, non verbal communication. I stay fixated on developing as until we have 2-3 months interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there it goes into developing, if I can a pattern that they will recognize.&nbsp; How it happens is when they first come in the room in the morning, they often run to me knowing I will take them setting on my chair, if not already full with other children. I want to identify what they want me to know is going on with them. In other words, I listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a child has been with us more than a year is when these ways of understanding really start to pay off.&nbsp; I try to understand when they will need to have their diaper change and change it before a rash develops. &nbsp;If I am not changing enough, Cathy is there to remind me. We go through them to prevent you from ever seeing we haven&#8217;t done enough, it&#8217;s that simple. Older kids aren&#8217;t spared either. They are asked&nbsp; to &#8216;go potty&#8217; more than I could ever say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our daycare depends on whether you notice these ways of child interaction. The longer they are here, the more intricate the communication, and hence understanding develops. Cathy has a lot more of these than I do, and together we work with you to build a village of understanding for as long as you will allow us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no substitute to have genuine communication and togetherness building happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr &#8216;T&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn&#8217;t take me long to think of a &#8216;new topic&#8217; when I realize what we offer to you, our parents.&nbsp; To make it short and sweet I try to find a way to build communication with your baby.
