Making Life Easier: Diapering

For many families, changing a child’s diaper becomes a major battle. This routine is one that is often not as scheduled or predictable as other activities. It is often unpleasant for adults and not an activity that the young child enjoys. As your child grows older and becomes more mobile and interested in interacting with his world, diaper changing might become even more difficult. While it can be challenging, it is also an opportunity for building a positive, nurturing and responsive relationship with your child. Several proven strategies can help to make diapering a positive and relationship building experience for both of you.

Making Life Easier: Running Errands

Running errands (e.g., going to the store, bank, etc.) is one of those essential household routines that all families experience. It is often thought of as a “maintenance” activity that is necessary for the family, but not enjoyable for young children. However, there can be huge benefits in taking your young child along. He learns about his community while spending time with someone he loves and trusts, someone who can help him understand the world beyond home and family. Running errands together offers the chance to build self-confidence, curiosity, social skills, self control, communication skills, and sensory exploration. He’ll have opportunities to greet and interact with other children and adults with your guidance and support. He will also be able experience the myriad of smells, tastes, sounds, and textures of the greater world within which he lives. However, running errands can be extremely difficult if the child has challenging behavior. It’s not uncommon for families to feel overwhelmed by their child’s challenging behavior and resort to only running errands when someone else can care for the child at home. Sometimes, depending on the errand (e.g., a long shopping trip, parent visit to the doctor), that might be the best strategy. Still, there are steps you can take to help you and your child get the most out of these outings.

A Family Guide to Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS)

The link between families and Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS) is an important one. When families are meaningfully involved in educational activities their children do better in schools. Families play an important part in their child’s education and social development. The presence of parents in schools not only provides additional academic supports but also creates community and cultural connections. In many schools, family participation in the schoolwide positive behavior support process is growing. Family members are part of state, district, and school planning teams and participate in schoolwide activities in a variety of ways. Family involvement helps to provide consistency between home and school, the key to success for all students. Family members participate in the assessment and problem solving process to create individualized positive behavior support plans when necessary for their children. This booklet is designed to help families understand the important role they play in Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports.
