Remember to allow enough time for play 🛝

🧩Often times children seem to find it hard to unwind and play after a busy day. It is a sad reality that children can 'unlearn' to play if the opportunities to do so are limited.

🔑 They key here is to allow for boredom to kick in.

⌛️ Make sure there is nothing to distract them (such as technology) and mindfully create free time.

If the toys in their rooms are of no interest - do not buy extra toys! Open up the front door - nature is the answer. Children will play with whatever they can find. A stick becomes a sword, a snake or a straight line to walk on. A few stones can build a fort, the outline of a house or can result in a treasure hunt.

Play is natural - just give them the opportunity.

Love being part of this tribe 🌿

A tribe isn’t just a group — it’s a movement.
When a tribe is formed, change becomes unstoppable… because it starts one person at a time.🫶

See you there 🌿

Spelling to Communicate (S2C) empowers nonspeakers to overcome communication barriers posed by traditional oral communication by pointing to letters on a board as an alternative means of communication. By teaching the motor skills necessary to point on a letterboard positioned in front of them, nonspeakers improve motor planning and control, enabling them to communicate their thoughts and ideas quickly and accurately.

As a proud S2C practitioner and Mom of a non-speaker I’m honored to be sharing the stage with changemakers from around the world, in partnership with I-ASC, Inner Voice, Autism Centre Heidelberg, the Sisu Hub, and Spell It Out. This summit is more than a conference; it’s a movement for communication, inclusion, and connection across Africa!

I hope to see you there, joining me in making Africa a more accessible place for all nonspeakers.

I think number 3 is my favourite - we are all just human 🌿

We've all said it after a Christmas or birthday party: "They enjoyed playing with the box more than the toy that was inside it." Kids don't need all the latest and greatest high tech toys and stuff. It's the simplest things that boost play and creativity the most 🌿

Forcing kids into something they are not ready for will just lead to dysregulation on both ends. Adjust and adapt the activities in a way that they can benefit from them optimally 🌿

Meet them where they are ❤️
