Narrating Our Day: The Power of Bedtime Stories

For the past 8 months, we've made it a nightly ritual to narrate the events of the day and share a bedtime story. In the beginning, this was a one-sided activity—I did all the talking, and at times, it seemed my boy was struggling to comprehend everything. But with time, things changed. He now chips in, takes the lead most times, and is even starting to create his own stories. It's incredible how this simple practice has boosted our storytelling and reporting skills!

My son is 6, has speech delay but thank God he has greatly improved over the years. He is now able to hold simple conversations. One challenge he has is sometimes he has an over run of saliva when talking. I don't know how best I can help him? I feel bad when his friends don't want him close because of fear of being spat on whilst playing. Note that there is no underlying condition to his speech delay. Please advise how best he can be helped.

We spend so much time teaching children with disabilities how to connect with others… but how often do we teach others how to connect with them? As we mark Disability Awareness Month this October, let’s choose inclusion that goes both ways.

🌿 Helping Autistic Children Find Calm with “Safe Hands” 🤲

Try this next time your child feels overwhelmed or starts to lose control.
Instead of shouting or grabbing, gently say, “Safe hands, please,” and show them what that looks like — hands folded or resting calmly on your lap.

It’s a simple but powerful way to help your child pause, feel safe, and learn self-control. 💚
No shouting, no punishment — just calm guidance and love. 🌈🤲

Speech Therapy Isn’t Just for Kids!

I used to think speech therapy was only for children. But adults—especially those recovering from a stroke—often need it too.

A stroke can affect speech, understanding, and even swallowing. Some know what they want to say but can’t express it clearly. Speech therapy helps them regain not just words, but dignity and connection.

Let’s spread the word. Healing includes finding your voice again. 💛
