Halloween storytime = language gold 💬📚
These books aren’t just cute — they’re packed with opportunities to build speech and language through repetition, rhyme, and imagination.

Our favorite picks this season:
🧹 Room on the Broom — sequencing & rhyming
🚗 Little Blue Truck’s Halloween — repetition & sounds
🎃 Five Little Pumpkins — rhythm & counting
🦴 Where’s My Mummy? — WH-questions & inferencing
🐱 Pete the Cat: Trick or Pete — describing & recall

Try pausing to let your child fill in words, guess what’s next, or act out the story — every giggle builds language!

As feeding therapists, we see Halloween candy a little differently 😉🍬
Each texture offers a unique oral-motor experience — soft, chewy, crunchy, sticky.

This spooky season, remember: it’s not about sugar — it’s about safe exploration and helping kids learn what different textures feel like in their mouths. 🧡

We’re not recommending candy — but we’re realistic. This time of year, treats are everywhere! So instead of fear, let’s focus on awareness, safety, and confidence at the table.

🍫 Soft = easy wins for new chewers
🍬 Chewy = builds stamina and coordination
🍪 Crunchy = great sensory feedback for jaw and tongue awareness
🍭 Sticky/Hard = caution! can tire little jaws or pose choking risks

✅ Keep portions small
✅ Supervise always
✅ Talk about what you feel — “Oooh, that one’s sticky!” “Crunchy!” “Soft!” (hello, language development!)

This Halloween, let’s turn candy chaos into texture learning 👻✨

✨🌎 Hispanic Heritage Month 🌎✨

“Will learning two languages cause a delay?” 🤔

It’s one of the most common questions we hear from families raising bilingual babies — and one we’re passionate about answering. 🚫

We created this carousel to bust the most popular myths about bilingualism 👶💬. From concerns about confusion, mixing languages (“Spanglish”), to whether children should only learn one language first — we’ve heard it all! But the research is clear: bilingualism is not only possible, it’s powerful. 💡

👉 And while every myth is important to debunk, Myth #6 is especially close to our hearts: the idea that children with special needs can’t or shouldn’t be bilingual. The truth? Children with developmental differences can thrive in two languages. Maintaining your home language strengthens identity, builds family connection, and opens doors to communication and culture. 💕

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the beauty of raising bilingual children — all children, of all abilities. 🌟

✨🌎 Mes de la Herencia Hispana 🌎✨

“¿Aprender dos idiomas causará un retraso en mi hijo?” 🤔

¡La respuesta es NO! 🚫

Aquí compartimos los mitos más comunes sobre bebés bilingües y la verdad detrás de ellos:

❌ Mito 1: Aprender dos idiomas confunde a los niños.

✅ Verdad: Los cerebros de los bebés pueden separar y aprender dos idiomas desde pequeños.

❌ Mito 2: El bilingüismo causa retrasos en el habla.

✅ Verdad: Los niños bilingües alcanzan los hitos del lenguaje dentro del mismo rango que los monolingües.

❌ Mito 3: Primero debe aprender un idioma y después el otro.

✅ Verdad: La exposición temprana a ambos idiomas es lo mejor.

❌ Mito 4: Mezclar idiomas (“Spanglish”) es malo.

✅ Verdad: El cambio de códigos es normal y muestra flexibilidad lingüística.

❌ Mito 5: Hablar español en casa confundirá al niño si la escuela es en inglés.

✅ Verdad: Mantener el idioma del hogar fortalece la familia y ayuda a aprender inglés mejor.

❌ Mito 6 (nuestro favorito ❤️): Los niños con necesidades especiales no deben ser bilingües.

✅ Verdad: El bilingüismo NO dificulta los retos del desarrollo. Al contrario, apoya la identidad, la conexión familiar y la comunicación.
