The following
are examples
of
interventions I
created with
the help of the
families I
serve.
Not all of the
parts are
original but
the sum of
each
intervention is
original to me.
The following are pages from
a booklet I made with a
mother of 3 girls (12, 8, & 2).
She wanted to insti l l in them
family values that she was
never introduced to by her
mother.
This booklet (given to each
girl) was a chance for the
mother to talk to the girls
about the values and praise
them for exhibiting them in
their l ives.
The beauty of this is that it is
completely unique to the
family. They choose the
values they want to focus on
at that time.
This booklet was
made for a mother
who didn’t praise her
children. She said she
found it hard to
remember to vocalize
her praise.
I made one booklet
for everyone of her
children (each had
their own color).
I challenged the mom
to fi l l in a praise for
each child at the end
of every day and then
give it to them on a
special occasion.
I made the Peaceful Family
Pledge for a single mother
family with 6 kids (5 boys and
one girl) . The mother had
called the police because of
the fighting going on
between the boys.
I had the mom call a family
meeting. Each child
contributed the “Respecting”
& “Encouraging” sections.
Then each family member
signed their name.
The pledge was hung on the
wall .
This booklet was a way for me
to get parents to read to
their child. Often, parents
would complain that they had
barriers to buying or
borrowing books for their
child.
This book promotes
communication, bonding, and
fine motor skil ls .
Most of the time I would
laminate the book or place
the pages in zip lock
sandwich bags and bind them
with duct tape. That way the
baby could mouth the book.
This is a booklet I made for a
toddler with speech delay. It
is a texture book that I
laminated and made pockets
that held the texture
example.
I created the front cover a
dragon b/c the dragon was a
special symbol for this family.
I l ike this activity because it
promotes sensory
exploration, communication,
and bonding between the
parent and child.
This is a sign that I made for
a family of 4 kids, all under
the age of 4 years!
The mom had trouble keeping
one of the children on a
consistent eating schedule
and as a result she was
diagnosed as “Failure to
Thrive” at 2 years old. This
sign helped the child look
forward to and prepare
herself to eat.
This sign was placed with
magnets on the refrigerator
and the children took turns
placing the different activities
in place on the sign.
This is a poster that
I made with a mom
having trouble
leaving her child
with others (even
the dad).
We made the board
to communicate in
a visual way what a
caregiver could do
with the baby to
entertain and calm
them.
I provided the
layout and mom
f i l led in the details .
This is an example of
one of the closure
activit ies I l ike to do
with families.
It ’s parts aren’t
original but the way
I arrange them are.
I bring out the
poster with the
quote on it and have
the family paint it .
The mom &/or dad
is the trunk of the
tree. The child(ren)’s
f inger prints are the
leaves.
