Gestalt Language Processor Moms
Show your support
Our speech therapist says my 3 year old is a gestalt language processor and recommended us modelling short phrases to him rather than words as she thinks he learns in chunks and contextually.
@Ashley like how do you get through to them?! Teaching them not to hit or throw something at mom is just lost. He just glazes over or keeps doing it. It’s like there’s zero connection between “hitting = bad = consequences”
@Oge yah that’s the very basic understanding of it. But how the hell do you teach right from wrong when it seems like there is zero connection being made in their brain, that throwing = bad = consequences. And frankly that’s shit advice. We were told the same by a therapist we no longer visit. All parents do is talk to their kids in sentences and it does nothing different to help these kids it would seem.
@Stacie Songs! Find a song from cocomelon or from “super simple songs” about soft hands, or calm bodies and sing it to him when ever he gets aggressive, and physically grab his hand and show him how to use soft hands. We were trying to teach our son to clean up his toys and we came up with a simple “toys away toys away, time to put the toys away” jingle and showed him how to pick up his toys. It took a couple try’s but he caught on and if a master cleaner now! Same with his shoes. Find a song or make up a simple jingle and he will catch on faster than he would have without the song♥️
I do!!♥️ we’ve been navigating GLP for 2 years now. I feel you girl… I really do.
