The Parent Voice

With the fall rainy season in full swing, I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things to do when the weather does not permit us to play outside.

Does your child suck their thumb or their fingers? Are you wondering how long it is okay for them to continue to do this?

I can’t say when we decided that our goal was to homeschool Delilah. It certainly wasn’t what I envisioned I was going to do before I had a child.

If you are a parent who struggles or stresses around their child’s sleep, know you are not alone. Sleep is a dynamic situation, and every new stage has added changes and new challenges, even when we start to feel like we have it figured out.

Children with special needs may be extra sensitive to bright lights, loud noises, and unfamiliar smells at the dentist’s office, making dental visits and daily tooth care more difficult for them. To better help parents and kids get the needed care with less stress, I will share some ideas with you regarding how to manage these challenges.

When we started talking about moving, we wanted to keep Delilah very involved in the process. She had lived in the same house since the day she came home from the hospital, and she is not a fan of big changes. To her, a world where she didn’t live with her grandma just didn’t exist.

As a new mom, it is surprisingly easy to forget to feed yourself at times, so here are some of my tips to keep yourself nourished.

Hello, it has been a while since we’ve last written for The Parent Voice!  I thought starting out I’d take a little time to reintroduce my family and catch up with what Miss Delilah has been up to.

The reassuring truth is that there is no one right way to care for your child, and being a good parent isn’t about being perfect. It’s about loving your child, being there for them, and helping them become the best person they can be.

Summer is a great time for learning and fun! With these exciting activities, you can turn playtime into a fun educational experience.
