Het jy 'n kind wat sukkel met die uitspraak van sekere klanke? Hier is 'n paar idees om met spraakonreëlmatighede te help.

🎤 1. Klank-nabootsing (klankpret!)
Laat die kind dier- of alledaagse klanke naboots:

🐮 “Mooo”, 🐱 “Miaau”, 🚗 “Vroem”, 🦁 “Raawr”

Fokus op klanke soos m, b, k, g, s, r

👅 2. Mondspieroefeninge (praat-spiere sterk maak)
Hierdie bou die spiere wat nodig is vir duidelike spraak:

Steek tong uit en trek dit weer in (slak-tong)

Beweeg tong links en regs oor die lippe

Blaas borrels met ’n strooitjie of seep

Maak vis-lippe (sug en trek wange in)

Klik klank met tong ("klik-klak-klap")

🗣 3. Klank-speletjies (klank begin en eindig)
Kies eenvoudige woorde:

“Wat begin met s?” (soos sokkie, slang, son)

“Wat eindig met t?” (soos kat, hoed, pot)

Gebruik prente of speelgoed vir visuele ondersteuning.

🎲 4. Herhaal-rympies en tongknopers
Gebruik eenvoudige rympies en laat kinders saam herhaal:

“Rooikappie rooi het rooi rooi rooi”

“Karel kook kos in ’n klein kombuis”

Doel: fokus op r, k, s ens.

🎨 5. Klank + teken aktiwiteit
Sê: “Kom ons teken iets wat begin met k.”
Voorbeelde: kat, koek, ketting
Laat die kind dan die woord sê, teken, en dalk ’n storie vertel.

🎵 6. Liedjies en aksieliedjies
Liedjies help met ritme, woordvorming en geheue:

“Klap klap handjies”

“Olifant, olifant, stamp jou voet”

Gebruik die liedjie om sekere klanke aan te leer en te versterk.

📦 7. Spraakspeel met blokkies of speelgoed
Gebruik blokkies en sê by elke blokkie ’n letter of klank. Bou klanke soos:

k-a-t

s-o-n

Of gebruik speelgoed: “Hier is ’n koei… sê ‘k-k-k-koei’ saam met my!”

In South Africa, C-section rates are far above what the World Health Organisation considers ideal (10–15%). Yet in reality, around 28–29% of births in public hospitals and up to 75% in the private sector are by C-section - with some facilities reporting even higher rates.

While C-sections are life-saving when medically necessary, these numbers raise an important question: Are we supporting birth - or over-medicalising it?

Birth is not a medical emergency by default. It is a physiological process that, in most cases, unfolds safely with the right support. When birth becomes overly medicalised, we risk taking power away from women, increasing unnecessary interventions, and impacting both short- and long-term outcomes for mothers and babies.
This month, we open the conversation.💛

We advocate for:
• Informed choice
• Respectful, evidence-based care
• Midwife-led birth as a safe and empowering option
• Antenatal education that equips mothers with knowledge and confidence

Because when women are informed, supported, and truly seen - birth changes.
Every mother deserves to feel empowered in her birth journey. Let’s bring birth back to where it belongs: in the hands of women, supported by skilled, compassionate midwives.✨

We’ve long known that human milk is more than calories. It’s communication. I speak about this often because the science keeps growing, and it’s extraordinary.

A new review in Nature (Majood and Rao, 2025) shows just how alive and dynamic human milk truly is.

Human milk carries living cells, including stem-like cells that may support infant immune and tissue development.
It holds tiny signaling vesicles that help guide gene expression, metabolism, and immunity.
And scientists are now using milk-derived cells to create mammary organoids. These models help us study lactation, breast health, and even explore regenerative medicine.

Human milk may one day help us repair organs, understand disease, and rethink mammary function. All while nourishing babies in ways formula simply cannot replicate.

When we support lactation, we aren’t just feeding babies.
We’re honoring one of the most sophisticated biological systems in the human body.

If your group, hospital, or organization would like an evidence-based talk on the science of human milk, reach out. I’d love to teach and support your team.
