Let’s talk about the Zones of Regulation, a creative and structured way to help build emotional awareness and self-regulation skills.

This framework uses a color-coded system to help individuals, especially children, identify how they’re feeling:

🔵 Blue Zone: Low energy (sad, tired, sick, or bored) 🟢 Green Zone: Just right (calm, focused, happy, ready to learn) 🟡 Yellow Zone: Heightened energy (excited, worried, frustrated, silly) 🔴 Red Zone: Intense energy (angry, terrified, elated, out of control)

By giving feelings a “color,” it helps build a shared vocabulary for emotions and opens the door to learning helpful coping strategies. It’s widely used in schools, clinics, and homes to support social-emotional learning. This shared language empowers individuals to understand and navigate their emotional world with greater confidence.

When a child stutters, the most supportive thing we can offer isn’t correction, it’s connection. 💬

These 7 guidelines from The Stuttering Foundation focus on building a calm, patient environment where speech can flow without pressure. It’s about how we listen, pause, and respond.

The goal isn’t perfect speech, it’s confidence, ease, and being heard.

Try weaving one of these tips into your day: • Slow your own speech rhythm 🗣️ • Offer focused listening 👂🏼 • Celebrate efforts beyond talking 🌟

Small shifts in communication can make a big difference in a child’s comfort and fluency.

Let’s talk about Social Stories! 📖

Ever wish you had a gentle guidebook to help navigate tricky social moments? That’s exactly what Social Stories are for! Created by Carol Gray, these are personalized, narrative tools designed to explain social situations, skills, or concepts in a respectful, descriptive, and reassuring way.

🧠 What’s the goal? To build confidence, promote empathy, and reduce anxiety, all while making social expectations clear.

👥 Who are they for? Anyone who benefits from structured social guidance, especially autistic individuals or those navigating new routines and unfamiliar situations.

⏰ When should you use them? Best introduced before a situation, when the person is calm and regulated, not in the moment of stress.

❤️ The philosophy behind them: Social Stories are written with social humility; respecting every perspective and avoiding assumptions. They meet people where they are, with curiosity and care.

Let’s talk about Toy Talk... our strategy of the week! 🤩

But what exactly is it? Toy Talk is a deliberate language modelling technique designed to enrich the grammatical input children hear. It’s more than just naming objects- it’s about how you talk about them.

This powerful approach uses two key strategies:
 1️⃣ Talk about the toys: Comment on their states, actions, and properties (e.g., “The car is rolling down the ramp!”).
 2️⃣ Give the item its name: Use specific nouns like “the cow” or “Baby Nina” instead of pronouns like “it” or “she.”

So, what’s the goal? Using these strategies helps make the subject and verb in a sentence more distinct from each other.

This clarity is a game-changer for grammatical acquisition, as it also helps children discover tense and those tricky morphological endings (like -ing, -ed, or -s) more easily.

Try it out during your next play session and let us know how it goes!
