Your child doesn't need more discipline... They need more understanding! 🩷

"They just need stricter boundaries."
"A little discipline would fix that."
"Back in my day, kids didn't act like that."

👉Here's the thing... Discipline isn't the missing piece. Connection is💜

When we approach autistic kids through a lens of compliance and control, we miss what they're actually trying to tell us.
That "misbehavior"? It's communication.
That meltdown? It's dysregulation, not defiance.

Neurodiversity-affirming support doesn't mean no boundaries. It means understanding that your child's brain works differently, and that's not something to fix. It's something to support.🙌

Instead of asking "How do I make them behave?" Try asking "What do they need right now?" Spoiler alert: It's probably compassion, co-regulation, and a whole lot less judgment.✨

Your child doesn't need to be shaped into someone else's idea of "normal." They need to be seen, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are.💙

The toy isle can be overwhelming...

Flashing lights, a million batteries, and toys that promise to "teach" your child everything, but end up in the donation bin by February.😵💫

The best toys for speech & language development aren't the loudest or the fanciest. They're the ones that invite your child to play with you, not just press buttons!✨

These toys? They've stood the test of time in our clinic! 🩷

We've watched kids light up over them, use new words because of them, and actually ask to play with them again and again🙌

You don't need to turn playtime into a therapy session... Just be present. Follow their lead. Narrate what they're doing. Ask silly questions. That's where the real magic happens!🪄

Your child doesn't need perfect. They need you, showing up and playing alongside them. 💜

The research is clear...Bilingual children are at no greater risk for language disorders than monolingual children🙌

December is National Learn a Foreign Language Month, so let's bust this myth!

✨Bilingualism does NOT cause speech delays✨

Your child isn't at higher risk for language problems just because they're learning two languages...

Your bilingual kiddo might be stronger in vocabulary in one language and stronger speech sounds in the other. That's called mixed dominance, and it's completely normal! In fact, research shows that 60-67% of bilingual kids show this pattern🩷

If your child has a true language delay, it shows up in BOTH languages. Not just one!

The "bilingual delay" myth comes from comparing bilingual kids to monolingual standards in a single language. But when we look at your child's performance across BOTH languages? They're doing just fine! 💜

Here's what you need to know as a parent👇
Your child's exposure to each language affects which one they're stronger in right now. That's expected. That's normal. That's not a delay.

Testing in only one language? That's how bilingual kids get misdiagnosed, either labeled with a problem they don't have, or missing a real issue that needs support.

We're here to tell you... You're not confusing your kid. You're giving them a gift! 💛

Nothing says 'happy holidays' quite like having to explain that your child's AAC device isn't up for debate!🎅🎄

AAC devices aren't iPads. They're not screen time. They're not a crutch or a phase... They're a VOICE🙌

And if Aunt Karen can bring her unsolicited opinions to the table, your kid can absolutely bring the tool that helps them communicate! 🩷

This holiday season (and every other), we're choosing compassion over compliance, connection over correction, and reminding everyone that all communication is valuable. Yes, even the kind that comes from a device! 💜

You're doing an amazing job advocating for your child. We see you. We're in your corner. And we're ready to lock arms with you when the Karens of the world need a little education. 🤝

Got any responses warmed up and ready to go? Let us know in the comments. We love the inspo! 😉

Is your child too busy playing with cousins to eat at holiday gatherings?!

Between the excitement of seeing family, new toys to explore, and games happening in the next room, sitting down for a meal can feel like the LAST thing your child wants to do!

It's not defiance. They're not trying to make mealtime hard... They're just caught up in the fun, the newness, and all the action happening around them!🩷

Here are 4 tips to help when your child is too distracted to eat!👇

💜Bring the food to them!
If they're deep in play mode, offer small bites where they are. A few crackers, cheese cubes, or fruit on a plate nearby lets them graze without breaking the fun.

💙Set a timer for a snack break!
Give them a heads-up. "In 5 minutes, we're taking a quick snack break, then back to playing!" It helps them transition without feeling like playtime is ending forever.

💛Make eating part of the fun!
Invite cousins to join for a "picnic" on the floor. Turn it into a silly snack challenge, or let them eat while they build. Sometimes changing the setting changes everything.

🧡If it's just not happening... Let it go!
If they're having the time of their life and food isn't on their radar, that's okay. Offer something simple when you get home in a calm space. One missed meal won't hurt them, but the memories they're making? Priceless✨

The unsolicited feeding advice hits different during the holidays...

Between the casseroles and the commentary, it's easy to feel like you're under a microscope. But guess what? You don't owe anyone an explanation for how you're supporting your child.👏

Pediatric Feeding Disorder is real, and it's not something that gets solved by pressure, shame, or "just letting them get hungry enough."

When the inevitable comments start coming in, here's what you can say👇
💜 "She'll eat when she's hungry."
"Her relationship with food is more complex than that. We're working with a feeding therapist who's helping us make real progress."
💜 "He's not losing weight. He's fine."
"Weight isn't the only indicator of a feeding disorder. We're addressing it with his care team."
💜 "If you stop catering to him, he'd eat."
"We're not catering, we're supporting his nervous system so he can feel safe around food. There's a difference."

You're not being difficult. You're not being rude or disrespectful. You're being a good mom who's advocating for her child.🩷

And if shutting down the commentary means protecting your child's progress and your own peace? That's exactly what the holidays are for!🙌

If you've been told to "wait and see" or that AAC might stop your child from talking, we're here to tell you...

That is outdated thinking, and it's keeping your child from connecting with you right now.

AAC isn't "giving up" on speech. It's opening the door to communication while we work on everything else🙌

It's giving your child a way to tell you they're hungry, scared, excited, or that they love you, without the frustration of not being understood.

Watching your child finally be understood? That's not settling. That's progress. That's connection. That's everything.💜

You're not taking the "easy way out" by exploring AAC... You're being brave enough to meet your child exactly where they are and give them what they need to thrive.✨

We're here to walk alongside you, answer your questions, and help you feel confident in every decision you make for your child.

📲Save this if you needed to hear it today.

Holiday gatherings can be magical... But they can also be sensory overload central😅

📲Swipe through for 6 practical, neurodiversity-affirming ways to support your child through the chaos (and actually enjoy the holiday gathering yourself!)

Your child doesn't need to "push through" or "get used to it." They need support, understanding, and a parent who's willing to advocate fiercely for what they need.🩷

That's you. And we're here to help! 🤝

Your child's feeding challenges are NOT about your parenting. 💜

If mealtime feels like a battle… if you've tried "just one more bite" a thousand times… if you're worried they're not eating enough variety or that something is wrong... This is for you.

Feeding challenges are complex. They can involve sensory processing, oral motor skills, emotional regulation, past negative experiences, or a combination of all of these things.

What looks like "picky eating" on the surface is often your child's nervous system saying "this doesn't feel safe yet." And here's what we know: pressure doesn't work. Shame doesn't work. Forcing doesn't work.

👉What DOES work?

🩷Meeting your child where they are.
🧡Building trust around food.
💙Creating positive, low-pressure experiences.
💛Giving their body the support it needs to feel regulated and safe.

That's what feeding therapy is all about and that's what we're here for. You don't have to figure this out alone. We're ready to walk alongside you, support your family, and help your child build a healthier relationship with food, one small step at a time.🤝

You've been carrying this weight for so long, haven't you? The constant mental checklist. The comparison trap. The fear that one wrong move will change everything for your child.

But guess what? Seeking help isn't Plan B. It's not admitting defeat. It's actually the bravest, most amazing thing you can do as a parent!💜

Because while everyone else is pretending they have it all figured out, you're the one who said, "My child deserves more support, and so do I." That's not weakness. That's wisdom!🙌

We're not here to fix you or your child. We're here to walk alongside you, celebrate the wins (even the tiny ones), and remind you on the hard days that you're exactly the parent your child needs.🩷

Ready for that kind of support? We're here!
