🎧 “What?”
…again?

If your child often says they didn’t hear, didn’t know what to do, or forgot the instructions — it might not be behaviour.

Listening in the classroom is more than just hearing.
It involves processing language quickly, holding information in memory, filtering noise, and responding on time.

That’s a lot.

Sometimes repeated “What?” moments are a sign that the language load is simply too heavy.

✨ In our latest blog, we explain:
• Why listening difficulties don’t equal laziness
• How language and attention are connected
• Simple ways to support your child — at home and at school

Small adjustments in how instructions are given can turn confusion into confidence.

“Your child is struggling to follow instructions.”

Getting a message like this from school can be hard.
It can bring up worry, guilt, and a lot of questions.

This carousel was inspired by a real parent’s experience — and one that many families recognise.

Following instructions isn’t automatic.
It’s a skill that develops over time, with support and practice.

The good news?
Small, everyday adjustments can make a real difference.

“Is this normal… or should I be paying attention?”

Many parents ask this in Term 1 — and it’s a valid question.

Early school challenges often show up as:
• difficulty following instructions
• tiredness after school
• frustration with learning

These are not signs of laziness.
They’re often linked to how a child processes language.

🧠 We’ve written a parent-friendly blog explaining why Term 1 matters so much for speech and learning support — and what early support can really look like.

đź“… New Year, New Goals

The start of Term 1 often brings a big question for parents:
“Is my child meant to be doing this already?”

These are speech and language goals — not tests.

Children are still learning how to:
🗣️ talk and take turns
đź‘‚ follow instructions
đź’¬ use everyday words
❤️ express feelings
🤝 connect with others

This guide shows what to gently support, not what to demand.

✨ Small communication goals can make school days feel easier — for children and parents.

🌟 Every word, every sound, every try — it all counts.

As the term ends, take a moment to pause and reflect on how far your child has come. đź’›
Speech progress isn’t just about new words — it’s about confidence, connection, and joy in communication.

Our latest Speakable blog shares gentle questions and real-life examples to help you notice growth, celebrate achievements, and feel proud of the journey so far.

✨ Because progress isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s in the quiet moments where connection happens.

📚 Storytime is more than just reading — it’s building your child’s attention, imagination, and communication.

Every story strengthens listening skills, grows vocabulary, and teaches empathy.
When you pause, predict, and talk about what’s happening in a story, you’re helping your child listen, think, and connect. 💬

Our latest Speakable blog shares why storytelling is one of the best ways to support speech and language, plus simple ideas to make every reading moment count.

✨ Because every “once upon a time” helps children understand the world — and themselves.

🗣️ Is your child taking a little longer to start talking?
You’re not alone — and it doesn’t always mean something’s wrong. 💛

Some children are simply late talkers, meaning they understand more than they say. Others might need a little extra support to get their words flowing — and that’s okay too.

In our latest Speakable blog, we explain what’s typical, what’s a sign to watch, and how to know when to seek help — without myths or panic.

✨ Calm, clear guidance from our therapists — so you can feel confident supporting your child’s communication journey.
