Do you have a child struggling to talk about their learning disability?
It's important for kids to be able to speak up about their challenges and advocate for themselves. 🙋♀️ But doing so isn't always easy, especially if your child feels embarrassed or ashamed.
👉 Check out this blog for tips on how you can encourage your child to share their strengths and struggles and help them boost their self-esteem.
"If your child is uncomfortable talking to others about their learning issues, have a talk about what’s bothering them. They may be feeling embarrassed or ashamed of being “different.” Take this as an opportunity to reassure them and talk through their fears or doubts. They’ll feel better and you’ll have the information you need to support them emotionally, as well as academically."

Bouncing on trampolines may be fun for your kids, but they can also be dangerous for young children or when precautions aren't followed.
Trampolines pose serious risks for injuries as children can fall off and hurt themselves. It is advised that children under the age of 6 should not bounce on trampolines.
For older children, it's important to follow certain safety rules like having an adult supervising and only allowing one child to jump at a time.
👉 We recommend checking out this blog for important tips to protect your kids!
"Many kids who get hurt on trampolines only suffer small scrapes, bruises or cuts. But of the 110,000 or so emergency room visits linked with trampoline accidents in the U.S. each year, thousands involve serious damage to a child's arms, legs, collarbone, back or neck.
Concussions are another common injury from collisions on trampolines. These are brain injuries that can cause kids to suffer headaches, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms."

Fall is just around the corner! 🍁 As the temperatures drop, it's important to dress your baby appropriately for the colder weather.
Babies do not have the ability yet to regulate their body temperature. Keeping them cool or warm is done by what they're wearing. 👶
👉 Follow the tips in this blog on how to dress your baby for the fall season.
"If it is colder than 21 degrees Celsius or 70 degrees Fahrenheit, baby should wear a jacket. If it is colder than 7 degrees Celsius or 45 degrees Fahrenheit, baby should wear thicker winter gear, like a winter jacket or snowsuit."
