Thank you so soo much! She is a year old now but she still sitting at all. We are working with her and pushing thru her crying when she doesn't want to do it anymore. I do praise her a lot and sing songs while working with her. Do you think you can make a video about how you were as a baby and how your daughter is? You are the only person that has givin me some advice and I truly appreciate it. :)
I know and understand they it's going to take longer for her to grasp things, I'm just really worried that she's not going to sit. She doesn't smile or laugh she has low muscletone in her face, she makes like a half smile and then it's like she has no strength to keep it there. And as for laughing she doesn't do that at all. If there's anything you can tell me about developmental things to do with her please be my guest. Thank you so so much for keeping in touch with me. It means a lot. :)
Brittany Bocchino it took my daughter a long time to laugh also. i can def give more developmental tips :) Keep up all the great work you are doing! just remember to overstimulate and practice A LOT and eventually she will hopefully be able to train her brain to do what you want it too :)
Hi, my daughter was born with ACC, she is 1 years old now and still isn't able to sit or crawl or walk. Is there any advice you can give me. She is in therapy but her therapist doesn't believe in using any "tools",She is also in OT. since she has been born we haven't had any answers from any doctors on any milestones she should be at. I'm worried she will never walk or talk. Please any advice would be great! I was so soo pleased to have found your channel!, im following you on your journey and hopefully you can give me some ease with this condition. Thanks again Brittany
Brittany Bocchino Hi Brittany! Thank you for following my channel. My P-accer didnt start crawling until one year old. My biggest advice is repetition! We almost over stimulate with things we want her to learn. Ourfamily (my siblings and parents included) feel that things like OT, PT and speech are (while needed) a small part of teaching an ACC child to reach milestones and "train their brain". We strongly feel that family and a big part, the siblings, push that child into wanting and needing to suceed. That is what my family did to me. I would encourage you to put her on the floor in the postion you want her. start small, with showing her how to put her knees under her. do it over and over. praise her. We praise even the "good tries". We also had a few toys (like a baby minnie mouse) that crawl and we would encourage her to go after them. Also, use the aide of other children. All kids want to do what the older kids are doing. I will have to post it sometime but we have a video of our older daughter getting down on the ground and teaching her to crawl. And she DID! You have to constantly keep at it. Almost like you are bugging them. My older siblings said i was there "doll" and if they wanted me to rollerskate, they strapped rollerskates on me and dragged me around while the other moved my feet until i would move my feet on my own. As for talking, you have to remember that all kids are different. Most kids dont talk this early. My older daughter said her first word at 15 months old and we were told by doctors that it was very early. We expected our P-accer to take longer but she actually said her first word at 11 months old! My kids were very early but I CONTANTLY talk and sing to them! My oldest talks even more then i do. Now i am sure you are already talking to her a lot, so waht advice can i give..... I turn everything into a song, our address, mine and my husbands phone numbers, i even have a song to teach them their full names. Also we "make her talk". What i mean by that is i give choices. for example, a cup of peaches in one hand and a cup of manderine ornges in the other. I hold them down at her level waist width apart and as i say them i shake it. "which one do you want? peaches or oranges? and i will repeat what they are a few times. she started out just pointing. when she did this i would hold it in front and say again what it was and then try to have her say it. once you can get her to say sounds try "chunking" words. We do this all the time with our ACCer (even my older daughter does it to her). like if you want her to say butterfly. tell her "say bu" (after she does it go on to the next part) "say tter" and last "say fly". then combine some. "Now say butter" after that "now say fly" then have her put it together "now say bu tter fly" make sure to speak clearly so that she still hears each piece as a short sound and not a long word. goning to stop there because this is getting long! i really hope this helps! over stimulate and dont feel bad about making her do it! Because she can! good luck! Keep me posted on how she does!
