The team at Hello Kids Therapy Hub would like to wish our wonderful families and amazing kids a very happy Christmas and a restful summer break. 🎄❤️

Thank you to our families, community, and incredible team for your ongoing trust, support, and dedication. We are so proud of everything our children have achieved this year and feel privileged to support them and their families.👏

2025 has been a big year of growth for us — expanding our team, developing new programs, supporting children at clinic, kindergartens and schools.

To those who don’t celebrate Christmas, we wish you a peaceful and relaxing holiday period.✨

Happy holidays everyone. We look forward to reconnecting in the new year — after a well-earned break! 🎄✨

🗣️ Did you know? Speech sound processes are a normal part of learning to talk — but they usually fade by certain ages:

✨ Fronting → typically gone by 3.5 years
✨ Stopping → fades by 3–5 years (depending on sounds)
✨ Final consonant deletion → gone by 3 years
✨ Cluster reduction → improves by 4–5 years

🚩 Seek help from a speech therapist if these patterns continue beyond these ages or your child is hard to understand.

Early support makes a big difference! 💬🌈
