# Play, speech, and movement in everyday surroundings

UW:GROW-021:en · r02 · local GEO; original hash bound in QA/DELIVERY. Server acceptance NOT_RUN.

For parents and adult carers aged18+. I connects ordinary life and available participation; II leaves initiative in play; III separates communication from word examinations, including a multilingual home's living language; IV movement opportunities from a race of positions; V inexpensive from safe objects; VI adaptation from humiliation; VII home activities from assessment; VIII a day's content from achievement reporting.

Practice: choose an existing moment, offer one suitable safe action, and leave room for response. An optional proposal can stop. With limited resources, a familiar voice or available book can suffice without purchases or a diary. Name a developmental question separately and identify suitable contact without waiting for failed home activities. Burdensome recording can stop.

There is no milestone calendar, video diagnosis, accelerating exercise, or promised speech/movement date. Dangerous small parts and batteries stay inaccessible; a child is never left alone with water. A suspected swallowed button battery or acute dangerous state needs immediate local help. Other children are not responsible for safety. Joyful achievements retain privacy too.
