About this session
Challenges with feeding or getting a child to sleep can cause stress in a family's day. Home visitors are often asked by families for ideas about these areas of development. Often, difficulties with eating or sleeping are related to the child's responses to their sensory environment. Tips and techniques that modify or adjust the infant or toddler's environment or routine will be shared.
Intended Audience: Home visitors, Early Headstart/Headstart, childcare, families
