Wow, I did not judge! Those were blanket statements for ANY parent. Things to consider. All parents should consider screen time. All parents should look at and evaluate your home routines. You may consider those things and say, " good - we limit screen time in our home so that is a good thing". Or you may say, “We have good, realistic routines with a known morning routine and a consistent bed time routine - I know these things are GOOD for my child!” Or some parents may evaluate and say, “you know, Susie doesn’t really have a bed time routine - she just falls asleep on the couch or with the tv on in her room at night - I can change that”.
Of course I don’t know you and don’t know what happens in your home. You are reaching out here so that already shows that you have nurturing, positive intentions - good for you! All we can do is suggest things for you to consider. And my point was that at such a young age - and this being a board that has a majority of parents who are at or near the high school/college/beyond stage, many of us see and know those first years are so, so important in terms of those things - rich language experiences, consistent routines (within reasons of course), chill time together, etc. With those things in place, over the years you will hopefully see the appropriate learning evolve so that you and your child can be in a decent spot to start considering “what to do” to get ready for the young adult stage of college.
I have much compassion for young parents and all parents who have challenging situations in their home life or their child’s potential. Truly. I’ve spend the last 30+ years in exactly that - parent education specifically for children birth-8. It doesn’t mean I’m always right of course! But I truly do have compassion and experience and would always want to build a parent up for success, not tear them down.
Repeat: you are a GOOD parent for reaching out, noticing your child’s strengths and weaknesses and looking to plan for them.
