NEW BLOG- Do Children Today Play? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do children today just play for pure pleasure of the play itself? The answer more often than not is -NO. They are quick to get “bored”; rely on external stimulation (toys; peers; parents; screens); get “stuck” in a play theme and don’t know how to move on… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CLEAR COMMUNICATION MASKS
Our *Clear Communication Masks * have been specially designed for use by therapists and teachers when communicating with their patients or school pupils.

We all realise the importance of non-verbal skills in communication, and this includes movement of the mouth. When the mouth is occluded from speech, children could struggle to follow verbal instructions and lose potential learning opportunities.

For this reason, we have specially created a mask with a clear visor over the mouth, enhancing and clarifying communication skills to children.

*Clear Communication Masks * would be perfect for use when communicating with the deaf, for use in schools, old age homes, for lecturing purposes and therapeutic treatment.

The design of all *Clear Communication Masks * are super comfortable with a snug fit over the nose. The soft fabric ties, which fit around the ears, do not apply much pressure on the ears (which we all feel from wearing masks all day long).

This mask is three layers and made by hand with quality fabric and stitching. The clear plastic visor in the front of the mask has been seamlessly added to make our *Clear Communication Masks * unique and functional.

Our *Clear Communication Masks * are machine washable and can be sun-dried and then pressed with an iron if you wish. Please remember that the masks need to be washed either by hand or in the machine every day after use and dried overnight ready for use the next day.

Add a Little Play to your Daytime Routines: 🤹🏻‍♀️
Play with babies does not need to be all about toys and rules.
- add singing and making his little legs dance during nappy changes is great for early communication
- we all know the spoon that becomes the choo choo train 🚂
- play copy cat 🐱 make silly faces and it’s incredible how quickly your little one will copy you and is great for developing visual skills
- “This little piggy” 🐷 and “round and round the garden” 🌸 can never go wrong and play a role in enhancing your little ones memory

Just spend time with your baby and just BE. It is in this state that we can learn, engage and grow.

Love this 🥰
“As the child learns to touch and feel the food, this touch sends a signal to the brain that this food is wet, dry, sticky, or mushy,” feeding specialist and occupational therapist Judy Delaware OTR/L, CLC, tells Romper. “We learn through our sense of touch what we consider to be safe or otherwise. When we allow children to explore food through their hands, arms, faces, and yes, feet, they learn what to expect of the food and what feels good to them. Messy and purposeful play with food is a very important part of development”

There are a thousand bibs, bowls, and no-spill cups out there designed to keep kids from getting messy at mealtime, and yet they always seem to find a way. But it turns out there are good reasons why you should let your baby make a mess when they…

Infant massage is one of the most beautiful tools I have learnt in my journey working with babies- it is just so magical!
We are so fortunate to have Joanne Bradley at Nurtured Life available to share baby massage with you and your little one.

I learned about the ancient art of infant massage while I was studying and working in an orphanage in Northern India in 1973. I made a connection in my mind observing the children there. Their play…
