Copycat Boot Camp

Do you have a child with special needs who has difficulty making eye contact and/or imitating? Or a child who loves screens a little too much? This method of video modeling may help you! Totally free, no fancy equipment, experience, or manicures needed!

At the age of 3, my son would not watch my face long enough to be able to imitate anything but he was very attentive to every screen put in front of him. So I decided to put MYSELF on the SCREEN so he would pay attention to me.

It worked and actually led to LESS screen time because he wanted to interact with the objects and me in real life. They even incorporated this into his learning program at school with amazing results.

I am posting these "raw" and thoroughly unpolished videos on purpose to prove that ANY CAREGIVER CAN DO THIS!  Just put yourself together with whatever toy, activity, or learning you want your child to engage with, especially if it is for the first time, and start filming!
