Speech therapist mom chooses! 5 picture books you want to read when you are worried about "my child can't speak..."🌱

"Words do not increase easily..."

"What should I do to read?"

Are you worried like that?

Actually, the important thing at the age of 0 to 1 is not difficult intellectual education but "parent-child fun time." Even if words do not appear immediately, the current reading aloud will surely accumulate as "the foundation of words."

Today, as a speech therapist (ST) and a mother of three children, I have carefully selected five picture books that I feel this is an iron plate!

"Shimashima Guru Guru": Develop gazing power

"Daruma-san"... draws out imitation

"Sticked"... Attachment formation by skinship

Gatangoton: Developing the ability to predict

"Paka": Raising expectations of sound

Reading is OK in 5 minutes a day!

Please enjoy the sound and rhythm together without thinking too hard.

The picture books introduced are also summarized in the ROOM in the profile column. Please save from the mark on the lower right so that you can look back when you go to the bookstore.

Please let us know in the comments which picture book your child responded to the most!

May your parenting be a little easier 🌱

Speech therapist Parenting troubles Life with Picture Books Educational Picture Book # 0 year old mom

3/14 Edited to

... Read more私自身も言語聴覚士の母として、0〜1歳の子どもに毎日5分間の絵本読み聞かせを実践してきました。最初は言葉が出なくても心配しすぎず、親子で絵本の音やリズムを楽しむことが何より大切だと実感しています。 例えば『しましまぐるぐる』は赤ちゃんの注視力を育てる効果があり、黒と白の強いコントラストが興味を引きます。『だるまさんが』では声を出して一緒に体を動かすことで模倣力が刺激され、遊びの中で自然と言葉を覚えていくのを感じました。 『くっついた』はスキンシップを通じて親子の愛着が深まります。読み聞かせしながら赤ちゃんを抱きしめると、安心感が増し言葉の基盤が強くなることを実体験で知りました。『がたん ごとん』ではリズミカルな言葉の繰り返しで予測力を促し、『ぱかっ』は「何が出てくるかな?」という期待感を育て、子どもの集中力を高めるのに役立ちました。 忙しい日々でも5分の読み聞かせで子どもの発達を支えられるのはとても嬉しいことです。難しく考えず、赤ちゃんの反応を楽しみながら続けることが長い目で見て言葉の成長に繋がります。この5冊は私の子育て経験と専門知識から厳選したおすすめ絵本なので、ぜひご家庭でも取り入れてみてくださいね。親子の笑顔が増える時間になるはずです。

Things that actually help with AuDHD burnout (from an AuDHD therapist)
AuDHD burnout isn’t just being tired. It’s a full-system depletion that affects energy, emotions, sensory tolerance, and executive functioning all at once. And for many women, it builds slowly over months of pushing through, masking, and managing more than your nervous system was designed to hold.
