Real brothers first.

I want their relationship to grow naturally not from responsibility or expectation, but from simply being brothers.

The love, care and support can grow from there.

I love the love they share😘💞

Jayden made his order and waiting for his food.

It's indeed the most difficult part of being in a restaurant 😕

One thing I’ve learned on our journey with Jayden is that milestones are important, but they should not steal the joy of watching your child grow.

Know what your child is working towards.

Get support where needed.

Celebrate progress.

But try not to spend every day checking what other children their age are already doing.

Every child’s journey is different.

With Jayden, we’ve learned to celebrate his progress, at his pace.

What is one little progress you’re celebrating with your child at the moment?

You can be proud of your child's progress and still want more support for them.

The two don't cancel each other out.

We celebrate Jayden.

And we still advocate for what he needs.

Both can exist together. ❤️

The things I always want the people supporting Jayden to know are:

What works for him.

What helps him understand.

What calms him.

What he enjoys.

What he can already do.

A child's support shouldn't begin only with a list of difficulties. Also, start from where the child is.

Inclusion is more than having a child in the room.

I’ve learned this in so many ways with Jayden.

It’s also asking:

Can he join in?

Can he communicate in a way that works for him?

Are things adapted when he needs them to be?

Does he feel included, not just present?

Because a child can be in the same room as everyone else and still be left out.

For me, real inclusion is when our children are supported to participate, connect and feel that they belong.

What does real inclusion look like for your child?

Sometimes communication with Jayden looks like this:

I say something.

Then I wait.

Not repeat it, say it louder or quickly ask another question.

I just wait.

One thing I’ve had to learn with Loving Jayden is that he may need a little more time to process what I’ve said.

And sometimes, before we’ve even given a child that time, we’ve already repeated the question three times.

“Jayden, where are your shoes?”

Two seconds later…

“Jayden, I said where are your shoes?”

But he may still be working through the first question.

So I’m learning to slow myself down.

Say it.

Wait.

Give him time.

Then watch for his response or reactions because communication is not always words.

It might be a look.
A gesture.
A movement.
A sound.
Or him simply going to get the shoes.

That little wait?

It matters a lot. ❤️

If your child uses few or no spoken words, what does communication look like in your home?

I would really love other parents and carers to share what works for you. Someone else might learn something from your experience too.
