12.01.2022 This is so, so, beautiful. It’s amazing what difference it makes when we engage with someone on their level, not the level expected for their chronological age. This concept continues to inspire me as a Speech Pathologist. ... We often talk about age norms, or standardised assessments and while these have their place, I like to think more about working towards a child’s full potential, whatever that may mean as an individual, and engaging with them on their level to get there.

03.01.2022 The humble wooden block: Even with all the brightly coloured, flashing and singing toys available on the market today, the humble wooden block remains a toy box staple. If they’re not in your child’s toy collection, here’s just a few of the reasons why they should be: Cause and effect: stack too high, the blocks fall. Not gentle enough, the blocks fall. Place a block too close to the edge, the blocks fall.... Turn-taking: one of the underlying pre-verbal skills on which we build communication. Effective communication revolves around taking turns. Stacking blocks can be a lovely, engaging turn taking activity Attention/concentration and perseverance: making a tall tower needs perseverance and the ability to stay on task. If the tower falls, having the determination to start building again helps to develop resilience. Language opportunities: up, up, up anddddd crash! More. My turn, your turn. Numeracy: Counting the blocks as you go allows a child to relate rote learned numbers to a visual reference, increasing their understanding of what those numbers actually mean Hand-eye co-ordination, spatial awareness and fine motor skills: Learning to manipulate the blocks in the right way and placing them in the best position to avoid making the tower topple are great ways to help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination and spatial awareness. Co-operation: working together to build a tower can teach children to co-operate to meet a shared goal And last but not least: FUN!!

03.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums and mums to be, the mums who wish they were, the mums who have been touched by loss, the men and women who have stepped in when Mum isn’t there, the grandmothers, aunties, best friends and mother figures. I hope your day is filled with love, breakfast in bed, handmade and heart chosen gifts and, above all, a feeling of being valued and appreciated.
