Autism

Many parents wonder if their child could have autism. They wonder if their child is growing both physically, mentally, and socially at the “correct pace.”

In addition, many parents, when they discuss their concerns with their pediatrician, are told to just wait and see what happens. But, many experts believe that if you have a suspicion that something might be wrong that you should have them checked out through tests and screenings. If a child is screened by a specialist and they find no justifiable concerns, then parents can rest at ease knowing that their child is developing at an appropriate pace. If there is a detectable concern, parents are able to find out early enough to get early intervention and the proper care for their child.

Mayo Clinic’s health information states, “Children with autism generally have problems in three crucial areas of development — social interaction, language and behavior. But because autism symptoms vary greatly, two children with the same diagnosis may act quite differently and have strikingly different skills. In most cases, though, severe autism is marked by a complete inability to communicate or interact with other people.

Some children show signs of autism in early infancy. Other children may develop normally for the first few months or years of life but then suddenly become withdrawn, become aggressive or lose language skills they've already acquired. Though each child with autism is likely to have a unique pattern of behavior, these are some common autism symptoms.”

The Mayo Clinic continues to clarify the symptoms of autism as follows:

Social skills
Fails to respond to his or her name
Has poor eye contact
Appears not to hear you at times
Resists cuddling and holding
Appears unaware of others' feelings
Seems to prefer playing alone — retreats into his or her "own world"

Language
Starts talking later than age 2, and has other developmental delays by 30 months
Loses previously acquired ability to say words or sentences
Doesn't make eye contact when making requests
Speaks with an abnormal tone or rhythm — may use a singsong voice or robot-like speech
Can't start a conversation or keep one going
May repeat words or phrases verbatim, but doesn't understand how to use them

Behavior
Performs repetitive movements, such as rocking, spinning or hand-flapping
Develops specific routines or rituals
Becomes disturbed at the slightest change in routines or rituals
Moves constantly
May be fascinated by parts of an object, such as the spinning wheels of a toy car
May be unusually sensitive to light, sound and touch and yet oblivious to pain

With all these symptoms, it is important to understand that some of them may be seen in children whose development is normal.

Nancy D. Wiseman, founder and President of First Signs, discusses why early detection matters and why helping your child early in life can produce better results long term for a child. In her book, Could it be Autism?, Wiseman provides checklists and the steps you can take to either “confirm or rule out a developmental delay or disorder.”

If you are concerned about autism in someone you know, there is a lot of excellent reading material available to you. Please check these resources to help you or someone you love in their journey to make sense out of autism.

Consumerism and Grandkids

I have to admit I love my three grandchildren. So of course, when my daughter asked if my husband and I would watch the two boys, ages 1 and 2, for five days, we said, “Yes.”



In preparation for the boys, I bought two little backyard swimming pools at Toys ‘R Us; I ordered one of the famous Little Tikes green turtle sandboxes online and bought 4 bags of sand for it; I bought some new needed toys to keep at Grandma’s house – a Disney character figure set from the Disney Store; a basketball and a shiny red tricycle from Wal-Mart, a dump truck, pails, shovels, crayons, and bubbles from the Dollar Store; and a Fisher Price block set. Oh, I almost forgot the cute little Sesame Street potty I bought at Wal-Mart. What a hit that turned out to be!



Of course, I had to prepare the house for their coming. The sheets were washed; the bathrooms cleaned; the carpets were vacuumed; the floors were washed; and the bathroom was stocked with new soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner from Walgreens.

A trip to Kroger was necessary in our preparation stage. I bought orange juice, milk, wipes, diapers, popsicles, yogurt, juice boxes, cheese strings, grapes, raisins, tomatoes, animal crackers, Pop Tarts, and even bread to feed the ducks.



It was time to change my hat to event planner! I scheduled what we would do each day. I decided that every evening after dinner we would go to the park and feed the ducks; then travel to McDonald’s for ice-cream and playtime; then go swimming in our new Toys ‘R Us pools. Day trips would include the Katy Mills Mall to ride the train; Memorial City Mall to ride the Carousel with their cousin and see Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather; the Dollar Store to buy more snacks; Kohl’s to buy a toy, and a trip to the Houston Zoo to see the cows, giraffes, monkeys, lions, tigers, and bears.



Then, the big day arrived. The boys showed up and the fun began. We ate, we laughed, we tickled, we read, we played, we splashed, we kicked, we fell, we walked, we swam, we cuddled, we bathed, we cried, we slept; and we got tired. And, oh did we get tired! Maybe tired isn’t the word – utterly exhausted was more like it.

But, the days flew by. We discovered the boys’ favorite feat was feeding the ducks every night. What started as an activity that scared the boys, they left Grammi’s with no fear of ducks. They also left Grammi and Grandpa’s house with a newfound love for orange popsicles; a deeper attachment to Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Daisy, and Donald Duck; and love for Grammi’s story telling.



Pictures tell a thousand words. And pictures were snapped right and left.
With a little planning; a little spending; and a whole lot of loving, we had the best four days of the year.



Well, our time was up and we kissed the boys goodbye. But we couldn’t forget the good times we had. And, thanks to Shutterfly, Grammi made picture books to remind them of their 2011 vacation.



While I acknowledge that LOVE is the most important thing, I would also like to give thanks to all the retail stores and establishments that helped to create these wonderful memories, and to all reading this blog – GOODNIGHT, Grammi is exhausted!

Looking for the PERFECT BLANKET

Scattered throughout this article are some blanket fabrics available from The Bib Shoppe. Have some fun, and see if you can fit these into categories for infants, preschoolers, elementary age children, middle school students, or high school age children.





Yikes, choosing a blanket is difficult. NOT! Read on.



If you have ever walked down the toy section of a store, you will be overwhelmed with the bright colors of all the toys and books. That is because manufacturers have discovered the psychology of colors. Colors are used as marketing tools, but they can also be used as educational tools. If you take a look at preschool and grade school workbooks, you will notice many bright colors in the pages to attract young children. Colors help them learn.









But, what about choosing a blanket color for your loved ones? The tip of the day is: Consider age! Colors are universal and everywhere. But, they do mean different things in different settings and at different ages of life.



According to a 2005 research article published by the BBC, “children can see and even appreciate colors as early as four months old. At that age, however, their eyes may not yet be sufficiently developed to recognize various shades of color or differentiate dull colors like grey and brown. According to the article, researchers showed babies various shades of blue in sequence on a computer screen, and the babies' attention began to drift. When the color changed to green, the babies were once again attracted to the screen. The researchers concluded that babies are unable to distinguish variations in color, which reinforces the notion that babies can only see bright, fully saturated colors.”








Parents and/or grandparents usually like the soft pastels for newborn gifts. However, studies have shown that Infants and preschoolers usually prefer warm, bright colors, while elementary school aged children are attracted to pastels and tinted colors. Middle school students usually prefer the greens and blues, while high school students are attracted to darker colors, such as, dark green, gray, navy, burgundy, etc. Of course, most high school students enjoy receiving a blanket in their school colors whether they particularly like the colors or not.



In an informal survey on colors by The Bib Shoppe, I discovered that most people think preschoolers are attracted to bright colors because they associate bright colors with happiness. However, some feel that we bombard kids with bright colors so much and it is the object that is more important than its color. Purple was the overwhelming color of choice in the survey for what color participants believed most children from birth to 18 like the best. But, when those surveyed asked what their favorite color growing up was, they said blue, and still say that blue is their favorite color today.





Along with color though, consider the child’s likes and dislikes. If your child is afraid of dogs, you might want to avoid a dog printed blanket. But, if your child likes strawberries, you might want to consider a strawberry print. If you are trying to teach colors through your blanket, choose a blanket design with multiple colors. If you are trying to teach counting through your blanket, choose a blanket with objects to count.



Recently, my 2 year old grandson wanted a new blanket. He chose the blue owl print that we carry at The Bib Shoppe. He knows his colors, and he was adamant that he did not want the green print. Once, the blanket was made, I observed him interacting with his blanket. He was not only involved with the color, but the print. The blue owl print contains multiple different designed owls. He had already decided that his loved ones represented particular owls. I asked him, “Where is Mimi?” and he would point to a particular owl. I would say, “Show me Grandpa,” and he would point to a different owl. It was amazing to see learning going on within a blanket choice.



So, when choosing fabric colors for a blanket gift, you may also want to consider any learning that you might want to take place with your choice of blanket.

Welcome to The Bib Shoppe's re-designed website! www.bibshoppe.com

Well, we have finally done it. The Bib Shoppe has a newly designed website that is more user-friendly for both you and us! It all started a year ago when we realized we needed better customer service and a website with more features that we could access ourselves for the right price. First, we needed a logo. A great, reasonable logo company was recommended to us, and we first got our logo made to our satisfaction within days. Next came the year long search for a web-designer. We knew our limitations and realized we needed help to create the design we wanted. We shared our ideas and colors with our designer and the company “tolerated” all our emails and changes with a wonderful, patient attitude. Once the design was made, we moved to a technical expert that helped with all the ins and outs of the backside of a website. Again, we found the most knowledgeable and patient person to help us reach our goal. Yes, it all took time – we had to retake all our pictures again, re-stock our products, and input the information into our new site. But, now we are ready to unveil our baby using our same web-address at www.bibshoppe.com.


Browse our new selections of adult bibs, towel bibs, baby bibs, burp cloths, toddler dress bibs, custom minky (minkee) blankets, ready-made minky blankets, inspirational items, and special occasion bears.
