Ann Lane ARNP

There have been two other times in Grace’s life when she tried to hit me. One was last summer when she wanted to keep looking at a school bus, but it was time to leave the parking lot. The other was when she wanted something that wasn’t available. In both situations, what Grace really needed to learn was how to accept “no” or wait—just like in the video I shared. I’m a firm believer in proactive strategies, and if you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m constantly talking about them. But here’s the thing: proactive strategies can only take you so far if you don’t pair them with effective responses in the moment. It’s important to remember that not all challenging behavior calls for the same blanket response. Treating every instance of hitting the same way could not only be ineffective but might even make the behavior worse. If you want to create meaningful, lasting behavior change, the key is understanding WHY the behavior is happening in the first place. That’s where true problem-solving begins. ➡️ Comment TOOLKIT for a free mini crash course video on 4 crucial strategies every parent must know to make their life easier.

16 EARLY SIGNS OF AUTISM BY 16 MONTHS
#3. Rarely Shares Their Interests with You

Babies are eager to share their interests with you, first with gestures like showing and pointing, and then with sounds and words. Notice what your baby is paying attention to — to figure out what they’re interested in. If your baby rarely shares their interests with you, this can be an early sign of autism.
