Neurodiversity reminds us that there is no single standard way to think, learn, or communicate. Every individual brings unique strengths that deserve to be valued and celebrated.

At Riverina Speech Pathology, we are proud to support children, families, and individuals by recognising and respecting each person’s individuality because we are all beautiful in our own way.

All our kids really want is our time.
One day, we’ll wish we could go back to the simple moments - the games, the dinners, the bedtime stories.
Time is the most precious gift we can give. 🤍

💙 Fill Up a Child’s Emotional Cup 💙

This visual is a gentle reminder that children’s emotional wellbeing is built through small, consistent moments of connection. Each cup represents simple but powerful ways we can support children to feel safe, valued, and understood.

We can help fill a child’s emotional cup by:
• Sharing what we love about them
• Truly listening to them
• Helping them recognise their strengths
• Validating their emotions
• Spending quality time together
• Using kind and meaningful words of praise

When a child’s emotional cup is full, they are better able to manage emotions, build relationships, and engage in learning.

Parenting asks so much of us-patience, healing, self-reflection, and the courage to ask for help. If you’re feeling stretched, pause and remember: you are doing an incredible job. Be gentle with yourself!

Building Turn-Taking Skills in Early Childhood

Taking turns and sharing are more than just playground rules. They’re foundational social-emotional skills that help children thrive in school and beyond!

From waiting in lines and participating in classroom discussions, to playing sports and helping with family chores, turn-taking is everywhere!

Let’s support our little ones as they grow into kind, patient, and socially confident individuals.

Our children save their biggest feelings for us-not because we’re failing, but because we’re their safe space.

This message is such a powerful reminder: “When your child falls apart around you, it’s because you are their safe place.”

It’s in those hard moments that they’re showing us just how deeply they trust us.

Parenting isn’t always about keeping our kids happy in the moment—it’s about helping them grow into calm, confident humans.

This quote by Dr. Vanessa Lapointe is a beautiful reminder that parenting isn’t about quick fixes or pleasing in the moment. It’s about nurturing children who feel secure, loved, and capable of facing the world.

Let’s shift the goal from momentary smiles to lifelong strength and self-worth.
