Bright Ideas For Personal Development
I’m sure you have a bright personal development idea hidden somewhere in the back of your mind that you just can’t wait to test out. Of course you’re not the only one with the bright idea. So what motivates you to churn those creative, or even inspiring juices to its utmost flavor?
It’s always best to set up a personal goal where you can accomplish the most in record time, maybe like mowing the lawn in an hour before the big game on TV. A correct and positive attitude in whatever you do will make personal development easier, and even enjoyable.
Here are some personal development tips to make it through the week even if you’re just sitting in your favorite couch. An idea takes time to form in your head and is always at work while you are busy sitting.
Having a bit of positive thinking can help you realize things that are never thought possible. Thinking big is indeed the way of thinking that made people prosperous.
Take passionate action towards living your life by design. Talk is cheap. Action = deposits in the bank of a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void.
This is a perfect example where personal development is made of where you start by tinkering with your mind, then with your hands. And if the idea weakens, you can always go back to it later until you finish it.
Commit to your personal development as well as those you love to create powerfully a life you can love. Instead of reacting, commit to creating from your heart and soul, out of love rather than fear. The American Dream will always be there, but a dream will still be a dream without motion. Be amazed as the transformation begins.
Recognize and embrace the thought that each moment is perfect regardless of its outcome. Every time you hit on something that may appear too extreme, why not give it a shot and see if it will work. You will be surprised to see of there are other ways to get the task done in time. If you are not pleased with the outcome of your personal development, decide to use that moment to learn from and make the appropriate shift.
Dwell completely in a place of gratitude. Learn to utilize what you have in your hands and make use of it in the most constructive personal development way. Slipping into neediness will become less of a habit when you repeatedly shift towards gratitude, away from poverty consciousness.
Use a Passion Formula of Recognize/Reevaluate/Restore in place of the Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda whirlwind. The former is based in increased knowledge and abundance while the latter focuses on scarcity and lack. As you face people or tasks that may seem harder than scaling the summit of the Himalayas, allow yourself to realize that the task is just as important as giving out orders to your subordinates. You would rather be richly passionate!
Believe that you are the architect of your destiny. No one can take personal development of your passionate future from you except for you! Create your life authentically. As long as there’s still breath in your body, there is no end to how much you can accomplish in a lifetime. The concept of thinking big is all about enjoying your work, which would lead to celebrate a discovery that is born within your hands. Watch everything flow into place with perfect, passionate precision.
It’s interesting how people get wallowed up by something trivial as learning to use a computer, when nowadays that top computer companies are manufacturing software that even the kids can do it. I don’t mean to be condescending, but that’s the idea of not having any positive thinking in your life-you’ll just end up as a dim bulb in a dark corner. So instead of subjecting yourself to what you will be doomed for, make your path by taking the first step with a positive personal development.

Speech Development- 18 month old daughter is behind. Any advice? Personal experiences?
My daughter, who is very bright in all other aspects, is behind in her speech development. I read that at this age that she should be saying 6-10 words, but the only "word" she really says is "bye-bye". She communicates with gestures mostly, like using the gesture I always did when I would ask her "all done?". Instead of saying dog, she pants like our dogs do. She "talks" all the time, and her inflection is right on, as if she was talking, but in a language I just don’t understand. If she’s angry, sad, happy, etc., her inflections and pitch are right. We’re 99.9% sure it is not a hearing problem.
One theory is that she regressed when my son was born. They are a year apart. Anyone with kiddos this close together, please let me know your experience. She is an excellent problem-solver and very smart in every other aspect, but she babbles like a baby, and it is very frustrating. Would playing with other kids her age or slightly older help motivate her to talk? Ideas, advice???
As far as other developments such as crawling, walking, etc, she was very ahead the usual timeline. And I do make it a point to talk to her all the time. I have a little brother 10 years younger than me who was born with a minor cleft palate, and I was taught how to talk to him to teach him how to talk and speak properly when he was a baby. Another reason this is SO frustrating! My aunt is a speech pathologist, but 1500 miles away unfortuantely. We are going to ask for a speech referral at her next doctor appointment this month, but curious to hear other parents’ experiences and what worked for them.
yes I think that playing with other children would help immensely but the thing that would help the most is talking to her allot and get her to talk as well even if it is not sensible correct her and then move on. The more you engage her to speak and really talk to her the better she will get, it is that simple. Talking is a motor skill and it needs to be practiced to improve. The other thing that many parents overlook is that there is a definite mind body connection to learning kids who are delayed in their motor skills (walking running jumping climbing etc..)Will have delays cognitively as well; so take your child to the park play with them often and get them moving this helps the brain with problem solving and will help your child learn. Reading is very important as well read to your child use flash cards identify everything, they are little sponges and they will surprise you and say something days or weeks later that they only heard once. Good luck.

You need to have her evaluated by a speech therapist. Most states have agencies (child development) to provide free screenings and therapy if needed until the child is of school age and the school system takes over from there. When my oldest son was little, even though my pediatricain said all was fine, I was concerned with his speech delays, and had him evaluated. Found that he indeed needed therapy and started treatment within a couple of months. He recieved speech classes through the end of third grade and now you would never know he had a problem. The earlier treatment is started the better. Good Luck.

Being the parent of 5, three of which are 16,15,13 now, never let people speak "baby talk" to them. I found this very important because since there were 3 of them, they talked enough in there laungage. Childern mimic all most everything, so the more adult speach(of the right kind) they hear, the better they will learn. I would’nt worry she’ll just start in her own time.

I have been a mom for nearly 27 years plus I have operated a home day-care for over 19 years. In addition, I have a teaching degree. The guidelines you read about are just that, guidelines – some kids are far ahead and some are way behind. At 18 months, your daughter is learning so much every day. If she is functioning in every other area at or above average, than the language issue will resolve itself over time. My first bit of advice is not to fret over it. After that, spend plenty of time reading to her and talking with her. I have one daycare child who did not say any words until she was 2 years, 2 months old. She is now 4 1/2 and talks ALL the time. She will be going to kindergarten in the fall with absoloutely no delay in language whatsoever. I also have a nephew who had about 5 understandable words in his vocabulary when he was 3, but understood everything you said to him. He is now 7 and has been having speech therapy for 3 years and is also doing remarkably well. Enjoy your children and their unique talents and gifts. If your daughter turns 2 and has not aquired any new words, than I would make an appointment with her pediatrician for an evaluation. Give your children many hugs and kisses and say "I love you" every day. A day will come when those precious babies have moved on with their lives and you will cherish those memories.

It may interest you to know that my brother had EXACTLY the same symptoms… very bright, active, smart… he just didn’t talk. One day, when he was three or four, he suddenly just started talking in complete sentences, like a little adult. He is now 19 years old and extremely intelligent and talented.. he’s a freshman in college.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it… every child figures out language their own way.

My son was almost 3 years old when he started to talk more.. At a young age, he didnt talk, but mama.. and little little words. My mother and I started to teach him sign lang. for things like, drink, yummy, ect.. things that he wanted and needed and couldnt say… This worked greatly and today he still knows them.. And he started to talk shortly after learning the sign for them…

no worries every child is differrnt
As a parent, and as a special educator, please get that child tested. It sounds to me like he or she needs and evaluation for speech. Better to get this done while they are young before it gets worse. Believe me, my daughter did the same but, we had her evaluated at 2 1/2 and she got speech. She now speaks beautifully. I would also get his or her hearing checked out. My child also got tubes at 2 1/2 with the speech and what a difference. The procedure is only 10 minutes and the child doesn’t feel a thing before or after. Good luck

My doctor has told me that they don’t test kids for speech delays until two. I guess that kids really vary a lot between 1-2 with their language development and until 2 it is totally normal for them not to speak at all. It sounds like she hears you and can make sounds, which indicates she is physically fine. It also sounds like she understands you and what is going on, which shows she is cognitively okay as well. My guess would be that she is still just working out the fine art of speaking. Some day you will likely wish she would just shut up! But seriously, if she is still not using words by her second birthday, ask her doctor to refer you for a screening and early intervention. But in all likelihood, one of these days she will have a "language explosion" and begin saying lots of words.

child development classes; experience
I had, and still have because it is a work in progress, the exact same problem. I would describe our daughter almost exactly as you did. Clearly smart and almost considered advanced in other areas, but speech.
I ended up taking her to a program we have here called "Help Me Grow." It’s actually through the Health Dept and they do not charge you anything until they are 3. I found out about a similar program through my cousin in TN, while I am in OH, so that tells you that you probably have something within your area. Try the HD first, then maybe if you have something like Job and Family Services.? Work with her everyday as well. Read lots of books and play educational games with her on the computer…my daughter loves those. And kids, playing with other children is definitely key.
Don’t get too upset just yet…she’ll get there in her own time. Everyone did in fact tell me this, but it’s hard to believe when you don’t see any progress.

One of my nephews was the same way (except for panting like a dog) until well over 2 years old. He was such an expert at "echocentric babbling" you got the feeling that whatever he was saying, it must have been very intelligent, if only we knew his language. He would have all the mannerisms of a scholar debating great subjects. But he would hardly ever use real words. (He also had a little sister born when he was about 18 months.)
He grew out of it before the age of 3 years. Now he is in college. My suspicion is there is nothing for you to worry about. Give her time. Try not giving her what he wants unless he tries to say the word for it. (Why talk if you can get everything you want without talking.) Be patient & do not worry.

My son had the same problem. Everyone kept reassuring me that he was fine but I had that mother’s instinct something was wrong at 18mths they introduced us to birth to three. They brought in specialists and therapists. At 2 1/2 they diagnosed him autistic. There are reasons for concern. Best advice talk to a qualified pediatrician and good luck.
