'n Goeie vriendin van my is 'n remediërende onderwyseres.
Verlede week kuier ons oor 'n koppie koffie en vang bietjie op oor die lewe. En of ons wil of nie, ons begin altyd weer oor "werk" gesels 😉
En die gesprek eindig altyd by daardie kinders oor wie ons so hulpeloos voel.
Die kinders met soveel potensiaal, maar wat as gevolg van omstandighede nou sukkel om die mas op te kom.

Daardie omstandighede kan enige iets wees soos:
Geld, onbetrokke ouers, of moeilike huislike omstandighede.
Maar die EEN aspek wat vir my regtig moeilik is, is kinders wat bloot net te LAAT vir hulp begin vra.
Want 'n jaar of twee in 'n kind se lewe is 'n LAAAANG tyd.
Ja, nie alle kinders ontwikkel teen dieselfde tempo nie. Daarmee stem almal saam.
Maar onderwysers en terapeute sien die groter prentjie.
Ons sien die hele 400m atletiekbaan, nie net die 60m "sprint" van Graad R nie.

So as jou kind se onderwyseres bekommerd is, luister asseblief.
As jy rooi ligte sien fl***er, moet dit nie ignoreer nie.

📣October is AAC Awareness Month

What is AAC and why is it important?

AAC is a range of strategies, devices and systems which add to or replace spoken speech. It is important because it enables a person to:

🗣Convey their needs and wants, tell stories
🗣Show what they know
🗣Supports their learning
🗣Reduces frustration & isolation
🗣Gives them a voice so that they are not at a higher risk for abuse & neglect
🗣Explain their pain so that it is managed
🗣Be independent and enjoy relationships

There are a variety of tools to help aid communication. AAC systems and strategies include 'no technology solutions', 'low technology' and 'high technology' solutions.

This October we celebrate people who use AAC and their right to have a voice!

The best way to build a child’s language is to have back and forth conversations about what interests them. Children who have more conversations about their ideas and interests develop stronger language skills and do better at school. Try these fun ideas to get started.

This is a hard one… something I can’t seem to fully comprehend. I had to say goodbye to one of my young patients this week. At the memorial so beautifully prepared by the Baby Therapy Centre, the Pastor compared his life to bubbles. So fitting as he always loved bubbles in our sessions together. Everyone loves bubbles, they are so beautiful and reflect the light for everyone to see. They make us happy and you can’t help feeling joy in their presence. But unfortunately they only last but a short while…

Life is short. Heaven is so rich with you sweet angel.

Moet ek regtig al bekommerd wees oor lees as my kind nou eers in Graad R is?

Kinders in Graad R moet mos nog net speel?

Ek lees gereeld hierdie opmerkings in kommentare op sosiale media raak.

Maar ouers maak twee denkfoute met hierdie opmerkings:

1. Jou kind se leesvoorbereiding begin nie in Graad R nie, dit begin reeds as baba met taalontwikkeling.
2. Natuurlik moet kinders nog speel in Graad R. Maar kinders LEER deur SPEEL. En ouers en onderwysers moet die omgewing skep waarbinne kinders speel-speel kan leer (en ontwikkel).

'n Kind kan nie leer inkleur sonder inkleurkryte nie.
'n Kind kan ook nie leer lees sonder boeke nie.
