I'm excited to share that my daughter, now 5 and a half, had some kind of breakthrough in the past week. This is what I've observed in the past few days:
1. She's thinking ahead about playing a game or with toys about ways that would make the game/play more fun, then putting her plan into action.
2. She's talking in much longer sentences and expressing more complex thoughts and ideas.
3. She's telling us when she's hungry more often.
4. She's initiating asking for certain foods, rather than choosing from two or three foods after I offer.
5. Her OT commented after therapy last night that she was much less distracted and showed great improvement with staying on task, even with things going on in other parts of the same room.
6. She's expressing her opinion more independently (this could also be trouble )
It's so wonderful to see improvement. It seems to come in bursts, rather than in a steady way. I'd love to hear about your kids breakthroughs.
