Talking to young children about death

It can be hard to talk to young children about death. You might worry about how well they'll understand or answer. So many times, adults try to protect their kids by not telling them what's happening. But if they don't know what's happening, children may sense something is wrong and become worried and confused. They might rather know, even if it's bad news, than have to deal with not knowing. So, telling our children the truth can help them feel supported.

Helping your autistic child set New Year's resolutions

We think of New Year’s Resolutions as being solo endeavours. I am going to go to the gym more, you’re going to eat more kale, she’s going vegan, he’s going keto. This approach might not work for your autistic child. As much as it is important to cultivate in them a sense of confidence and independence, any parent of an autistic child will tell you that expecting them to sit down, curate a list of self-improvement goals and carry them out with constant motivation and self-feedback is wishful thinking.
