🌡️ Influenza cases are rising — many children are experiencing fever, cough, and sore throat.
Parents, let’s take simple steps to keep everyone safe:

✅ Wash hands frequently
😷 Wear a mask in crowded areas
🏠 Keep your child at home if unwell and seek medical advice
❌ Avoid attending class while sick to prevent the spread

Together, we can protect our little ones and community 💪

📢【家长防护提醒】
近期流感病例显著上升,许多学校与中心陆续出现感染个案。

请家长们务必:
✅ 让孩子充分休息、补充水分
✅ 养成正确洗手与咳嗽礼仪
✅ 若有发烧、咳嗽、流鼻水等症状,请暂时不要上课

早发现、早治疗,让孩子更快恢复,也减少传染风险。

把一整地的玩具倒出来🧸🪀🚗,让两个小朋友一起分工合作来收拾。

我给他们一个简单的规则:
✨ A同学负责收汽车
✨ B同学负责收毛绒玩具

一开始,两个人都有点急,想快快完成。
但在过程中,他们慢慢学会等待、互相配合:
👉 你递给我,我帮你放
👉 我找不到的,你提醒我

看似简单的收拾,其实是OT里很重要的训练:
✔ 分类能力(逻辑思维)
✔ 动作计划(先做什么、后做什么)
✔ 社交互动(沟通 + 合作)
✔ 情绪调节(遇到小争执也要学会解决)

最后,他们把地板收拾干净,开心击掌的那一刻,
让我觉得:日常里的小练习,就是最真实的成长。💖

Life Skills Training(生活自理训练)
不只是学会煮饭、洗菜,更是在为孩子未来的学习打基础。

专注力
在完成一个简单的任务时,孩子必须保持专注,跟着步骤一步步来。
这种训练能帮助他们在课堂上维持注意力,听指令、完成学习活动。

执行功能
煮一顿饭需要计划、排序、遵守程序,
这和学习写作业、做项目是同一个逻辑。
孩子在生活里练习执行功能,未来在学业上才能更有条理。

动作发展
洗菜、盛饭、操作厨具,
看似日常,却在训练小肌肉、手眼协调,
这正是写字、绘画、使用文具的基础能力。

自信与独立
当孩子能亲手完成一顿饭、一个家务,
他们会感受到成就感,
这种自信心会延伸到学习中,让他们敢尝试、愿意坚持。

所以,生活就是最自然的课堂。
从厨房到书桌,
孩子在每一次生活训练中,都在为未来的学习力做准备。

很多家长常常跟我说:
“老师,我买了玩具给他,可是他不玩。”
“玩一下子就闷了。”
“家里一大堆玩具,他都不碰!”

听起来是不是很熟悉呢?

那我们来想一想,问题真的出在孩子吗?
是孩子不会玩吗?还是他们真的很快就腻了?

其实,很多时候并不是孩子的问题,而是孩子缺少了「陪玩」。

玩具本身只是一个工具,真正能把玩具“活起来”的,是互动与想象力。
如果玩具只是被买回来,放在家里,让孩子自己一个人面对,他很快就会失去兴趣。因为孩子最期待的,不是玩具本身,而是和你一起玩的过程。

举个例子:
一个积木,孩子自己拼,可能拼不到几分钟就觉得没意思。
但如果爸爸妈妈在旁边,一边搭一边说故事:“我们来建一座恐龙的家吧!”
孩子会突然发现,原来积木不只是方块,它可以变成城堡、车子、隧道……
这样,玩具才真正发挥它的价值。

很多家长会误解,以为花了上百块买玩具,就是对孩子的陪伴和爱。
但对孩子来说,陪伴不是玩具的数量,而是一起玩的时间。

所以下次孩子说“不要玩了”,你可以试试看:
不是急着再去买一个新的,而是先蹲下来,加入他的世界,
带一点想象力、加一点故事、给一点互动。

你会发现:
陪伴,比玩具本身,更能点亮孩子的快乐和学习力💕

孩子需要的,不是更多玩具,而是更多的你。

✨可爱的小插曲✨
某天带小朋友去做 pre-vocational training —— 去巴刹(菜市场)买菜。

走着走着,小朋友忽然停下脚步,不走了,定定地站在卖内衣的档口。
我只好温柔提醒他:“今天我们是来买菜的哦。”

他很棒,能够根据 visual schedule 听指令继续往前走。
但下一秒,他一本正经地说:
“这个我妈咪有穿的,要买。”🤣

有时候,孩子的认真和幽默感,总是能让训练过程多一点笑声。
其实,这也是 生活技能训练的重点:在真实的环境中,孩子不只学会买菜、遵循指令,更在互动中学会观察、表达和自我管理。

✍️ Is Writing Really Important for Autistic Children?

For many parents, there’s pressure to get their child writing and reading as soon as possible. But for autistic children, the journey can look different — and that’s okay. ❤️

💡 Here’s the truth: Writing is important, but not urgent. Before a child can sit down to write, they need to build many foundation skills:
• 🖐 Fine motor strength (holding a crayon, controlling fingers)
• 👀 Visual–motor coordination (eyes and hands working together)
• 🧠 Attention and emotional regulation (being calm enough to focus)
• 🎵 Communication and language readiness (having something to express)

📌 How do we know when a child is ready?
• They show interest in scribbling or tracing
• They can imitate simple strokes (lines, circles, crosses)
• They enjoy activities with crayons, playdough, or blocks
• They start recognizing letters or their own name

✨ The key is to embrace their pace.
Some children may write at 4, others at 7 — what matters most is building confidence, not rushing milestones.

💬 Instead of asking, “Why can’t he write yet?” try asking, “What foundation skills can we strengthen today?”

Every child’s journey is unique. Let’s celebrate small steps and remember: it’s perfectly okay to go slowly. 🌈



✍️ 写字对自闭症孩子真的那么重要吗?

很多家长都会担心,孩子是不是应该越早学会写字和阅读越好。
但对于自闭症孩子来说,学习的过程可能不一样 —— 而这完全没关系。❤️

💡 真相是: 写字固然重要,但并不是最急迫的目标。在开始写字之前,孩子需要先建立好基础能力:
• 🖐 精细动作力量(能握笔、能控制手指)
• 👀 视觉–动作协调(眼睛和手配合起来)
• 🧠 专注力与情绪调节(能安定下来专心)
• 🎵 语言与沟通准备(有东西想表达)

📌 如何判断孩子准备好写字了?
• 对涂鸦或描画有兴趣
• 能模仿简单笔画(直线、圆圈、十字)
• 喜欢用蜡笔、黏土或积木做活动
• 开始认得字母或自己的名字

✨ 关键是要 接纳孩子的节奏。
有的孩子可能 4 岁就写,有的可能 7 岁才写 —— 重要的是建立自信,而不是急着追进度。

💬 与其问:「为什么他还不会写?」
不如想:「今天我们能加强哪些基础能力?」

每个孩子的旅程都独一无二。让我们一起庆祝 小小的进步,记得:慢慢来也没关系。🌈

As parents, we may sometimes think that playing with a toy oven is just pretend play.
But in a child’s world, every button pressed, every choice between chicken or fish, every moment of waiting with sparkling eyes — is learning in action.

That eager wait while the oven ‘spins’ is actually practice in patience and focus.
And when the oven doesn’t work because the door isn’t closed? That’s problem-solving and observation skills being built.

Through this simple play, children are developing coordination, understanding cause-and-effect, and even learning to manage their emotions while they wait.

To us, it’s just a toy.
But to them, it’s a doorway to explore, to learn, and to grow. 💕

Play is never just play — it’s the foundation of childhood learning.

很多时候,大人看孩子玩玩具烤箱,会觉得只是‘玩玩而已’。
但其实,在孩子的世界里,每一个动作、每一个等待,都是学习的过程。

他们按下按钮,选择要烤鸡还是烤鱼,兴奋地看着烤箱‘转呀转’,满心期待食物完成。✨ 这一份小小的等待,就是在练习耐心与专注。

有时候烤箱不动了,原来是门没有关好。孩子会停下来想一想,观察、尝试,再找到解决办法。这就是在培养他们的观察力和解决问题的能力。

看似简单的游戏,其实在帮助孩子练习动作协调、理解事情的前后关系,也在等待中学习调节情绪。

在孩子的眼中,这不是小玩具,而是他们探索世界、学习生活的一部分。💖
所以啊,游戏从来不只是游戏,它是孩子成长最美好的养分。
