Racine <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> already had two daughters when her youngest Rayne was born, but the gap in years between the older two and the baby made <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> feel like a first-time mother all over again. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything felt totally new again,\u201d she said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whatoname<\/span> found support through the Hualapai home visitation program, which is designed to strengthen families in Peach Springs by providing pregnant women and families of young children with personalized information on their child\u2019s health and development. The First Things First Hualapai Region<\/a> funds the program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned that it\u2019s okay to ask questions or ask for help,\u201d <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> said. \u201cI am so much more comfortable reaching out for feedback now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She was first introduced to home visitation by a friend who recommended the program. The more <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> learned about the home visitation program, the more she reflected on the early experiences of her two older daughters. Her middle daughter in particular exhibited what <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> recognizes now were red flags about her language development. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t feel right to me as a mom, but I didn\u2019t really have a frame of reference,\u201d <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> said. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t really talking, and she knew maybe one or two words when she started Head Start and began getting speech therapy. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThinking about that experience (with my middle daughter) and how ready she could have been for school, maybe something like home visitation would have helped me see those things earlier.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

During a recent home visit, Rayne\u2019s parent educator, Carmella Fuentes, reviewed results of the 3-year-old\u2019s Ages and Stages Questionnaire, a screening tool used to a child\u2019s development in three areas, including physical, intellectual and social-emotional. After some discussion, Fuentes introduced an activity that is designed to challenge Rayne\u2019s motor skills, while also showing the mother elements of creating quality learning experiences. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s responding to you in a sustained, interactive way,\u201d Fuentes explained to <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> as Rayne alternated between coloring papers and trying to cut them using child-safe scissors. <\/span><\/p>\n

As they continued to talk, <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> mentioned a new challenge: her toddler\u2019s anxiety in public settings such as the grocery store or meeting new people. <\/span><\/p>\n

While it is common for young children to act shy or express fear in new situations, <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> said she was concerned that this change in her youngest daughter\u2019s attitude could impact her readiness to start Head Start, where she\u2019ll be interacting with teachers and other children. <\/span><\/p>\n

A key component of home visitation is to provide families with the tools to address situations such as this. Fuentes suggested <\/span>Whatoname<\/span> try to redirect Rayne\u2019s anxiety such as asking pointed questions to distract or reassure her. <\/span><\/p>\n
