Language is the key to learning, confidence, and connection.

By age 5, children typically:

✅ Use sentences and 2,000+ words
✅ Tell simple stories
✅ Follow multi-step instructions
✅ Are understood by familiar and unfamiliar adults

Remember: every child grows at their own pace. But if you notice ongoing struggles with speech clarity, short sentences, or difficulty understanding instructions — early support can make a huge difference.

Not long ago, I spoke at a preschool seminar in Mikocheni on developmental delays, autism, and ADHD.

In the audience was a mother who quietly took my number. Weeks later, she reached out — and that moment began a journey of transformation for her daughter.

When we started, her little girl was mostly non-verbal and struggled with fine motor tasks. Today, she’s confidently forming longer sentences and has moved from using big crayons to holding a pencil with a refined grip.

Her parents’ joy says it all. The mother has become an ambassador, sharing her story with others, and the father never stops smiling at every new milestone.

This is why I do what I do: helping children find their voice, and families find their hope again.

🔑 Every small step counts. Every child’s journey matters.

5 Signs Your Child May Need an Assessment — Unlocking Their Right to Support

Assessment isn’t about giving a label.

It’s about understanding your child’s unique needs and ensuring they receive the support they deserve.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening all children for developmental differences at 18 and 24 months. Importantly, intervention should begin as soon as a developmental delay is noticed, even before a formal diagnosis is finalized.
Here are 5 signs an assessment could help unlock your child’s right to support:

1.Communication Differences – Your child may express themselves through gestures, intense focus on certain topics, or repeating phrases. All communication styles are valid and deserve support.

2.Social Interaction Patterns – They might prefer parallel play, form intense bonds with specific people, or engage with peers differently from expectations.

3.Sensory Processing Differences – Strong reactions to sounds, lights, or textures, or seeking particular sensory experiences, can indicate a nervous system that experiences the world uniquely.

4.Focused Interests & Routines – Deep passion for specific topics or a need for predictable routines often reflects a mind that thrives with structure and specialization.

5.Learning Style Variations – They may excel in some areas while needing support in others, or learn best through visual, hands-on, or movement-based methods.

Early, individualized interventions work best, and parental involvement is essential.

Your child has the right to be understood, supported, and celebrated for who they are — not just who society expects them to be.

📰 Seeing this headline hit differently as a psychologist...

"Boys now face higher risks as online abuse rises"
- 4.7% of children abused online are boys vs 1% girls

Here's what this data really tells us:

🧠 Online safety isn't gender-specific
🛡️ ALL children are vulnerable in different ways
💭 We need to protect without assuming who's "more at risk"

Parents: Start digital safety conversations with ALL your kids, regardless of gender. Boys may face different types of online threats, but every child deserves protection and digital literacy.

💡 Key takeaway: Adapt our safety strategies, don't assume vulnerability patterns

Social Functioning in Children: More Than Just Personality
A child's ability to connect, communicate, and cooperate isn't a fixed trait—it's a vital part of their psychosocial health.

We call this social functioning, and it’s one of the most important areas psychologists assess when evaluating a child's overall well-being.

Why does it matter so much? Because a child's social skills are foundational. They influence:

●Their ability to form and maintain friendships.
●Their confidence in classroom settings and group work.
●Their resilience against bullying and social isolation.
●Their emotional health as they move into adolescence and adulthood.

As parents, you might notice signs like a child withdrawing from peers, frequent conflicts, or a struggle to read social cues. These are often subtle indicators of a deeper challenge.

The truth is, many children with social functioning difficulties are incredibly bright and capable. However, without early support, these challenges can lead to academic struggles, low self-esteem, and even mental health issues later in life.

As psychologists, we use structured, proven tools to identify these challenges early. This allows us to provide targeted guidance and support so that children can develop the skills they need to thrive—socially, emotionally, and academically.

Parents, if you've noticed changes in your child's social confidence or peer interactions, don't wait. An assessment could be the first step toward unlocking their fullest potential.

Mental health at check-up? Yes, please.

In Nebraska (USA), paediatricians are being trained to screen for anxiety, depression, and ADHD during *routine wellness visits — all through a program called *COPE*

That means:
📍 Kids talk about emotions like they talk about sore throats.
📍 Parents get support without needing to wait months for a specialist.
📍 Early intervention becomes part of everyday care.

As a psychologist in Tanzania, I see models like this and think: This is the future we need in Africa, too.

We must normalize mental health in the same breath as physical health — especially for our children. Because prevention starts with presence.

Let’s build health systems that see the whole child.
