I love the idea of teaching the siblings to help! I’ve found that older sibs love to be teachers and feel like grown-ups getting to help their younger brother/sister!

And I completely agree about how eye-opening it can be to be on the receiving end of EI! My son was in EI too and it was really hard to stretch him throughout the day – these were stretches I’d suggested parents do for years as an interventionist. There’s nothing like trying to implement strategies in your own life to give you perspective on the work we do with families! šŸ™‚

Unfortunately, frequently even these routines get interupted by older siblings needing my attention. Encouraging busy parents to use parallel and self talk during routines is a great idea. Depending on the ages of older children, they can also be taught to use these techniques. Rewards can be given for older children that help to “teach” the baby. Even more importantly sometimes, rewards can be given to older children who stop themselves from talking for the baby or for successfully “playing dumb” when they know what their brother or sister is crying for. But honestly, I never realized how hard it was to remember to brush with the Nuk brush 3 times a day until I started trying to do it myself!!!

Thanks for such practical tips on self-talk and parallel talk.
