Had such a great weekend it needed a post!

1 & 2 - were just amazing - and bumped into an OT that I share a client with.

3 - taking it too far playing with the kids in the paddling pool and ending up soaked (and need to rescue a child!)

4 - Sunday evening, what a view to end the weekend with.

Not pictured (because who takes pictures of other people's kids in swimming costumes??!) which never fails to entertain and delight.

I've genuinely felt a bit lonely today, just me and my 3 year old at home!

Half term round up!

Glorious, wonderful Kalkan. We had a fantastic trip with the family and it was fab.

Some highlights:
My Husband and kids reminding me of the coffee I was missing from back home
Child free day at
Fabric shop of dreams
Just look at the colour of the sea!

Ready to be back in my lovely little clinic room tomorrow, can't wait to see how some of my little pals are getting on.

Here are some of the days I know my pre-speaking or minimally speaking clients love their Mums:

❤️ They regulate with them.
❤️ Some toys are so precious that I am not allowed to touch them. But Mum? Yeah, she can hold it, that's no problem
❤️ They'll play with me for a few mins, sure. But they'll play with Mum for much longer.
❤️ Communication is more often directed towards Mum than me.
❤️ They're authentically, fully themselves with Mum. Stimming, vocalising, protesting - none of it is hidden from Mum.
❤️ They might not notice when I walk in the room. But Mum arrives? Instant recognition.
❤️ Some of their favourite sensory regulating activities involve their Mum - deep squeezes, twiddling with Mum's hair, touching Mum's skin.
❤️ Sometimes I'm 100% sure that they're just telling me "I just need my Mummy".

I know a Mum comes in all shapes and sizes and is often a role fulfilled by others - so in these examples I'm using the words Mum/Mummy to reflect all those caregivers that carry out the role of 'Mum'.

But I am also thinking specifically about those women I know, who I am thrilled to work with or have worked with and sending love to them.

Brilliant day today at . So lovely to spend the day with my colleagues and Dr Abbie Moran!

I forgot my socks today, but....

HAPPY WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY.

She's one of the very best people in my life and I wouldn't change a thing. Ever.

About last night......

It was absolutely fantastic to get some of the Mum's of the children I work with together. We all laughed loads, sharing ideas of resources, tax deductable items, where locally has great sensory play and it was a chance to step outside the role of Mum and just get to know each other and have a good time.

I feel really honoured to work with these powerhouse women who somehow manage to do it all - DLA applications, EHCP tribunals, work, childcare, learning how to use AAC, attending regular therapy appointments and doing school applications.

I think it's fair to be a success, the what's app group is being created and another event being planned.

Half term round up - we had such a lovely time that I have no relief that my biggest is back in school today!

1 - lots of fun at
2- love from my kids
3 - all the hectic, feral, red cheeked fun at
4 - days with the childminder of dreams who sends pics like these
5 - always making us pleased we're outside
6 - marketing planning with my excellent sister
7 - soaking up what I think are going to be some of the last post nap snuggles (I am really going to mourn that nap)
8 - spring is coming 🌷🌷

POV: you're a Speech & Language Therapist who regularly reassures families that they don't need to worry about everything they see on social media.

And I hope it's really clear, I'm not trying to suggest that it would be absolutely terrible if my child had a diagnosis of any of the things I've mentioned, I'm trying to highlight how looking at a list alone reduces the complexities of us human beings and I could therefore have arrived at numerous diagnoses which would be inaccurate.

Adding in that extra pause is so valuable, and really isn’t ‘doing nothing’.

It’s doing a lot! �💗

This is a great strategy or idea for both Analytical and Gestalt Language Processors. �

I wonder what communication your child might show you when you give them enough time? 😊
