@wearecherrypick saving dinner time one night at a time! I really struggle with meal planning and this is the first service that hasn't sparked demand avoidance or choice overload.

April has been fun. Currently I'm working on restocking items for @aglowapothecary, requests and shop items. Busy busy . I'm also a mom to 2 special ladies, Work part time, a bomb wife etc.... 🌈 Looking back at April being #autism Awareness month, I wish I posted more about it. We live it daily and hey a little knowledge is always good to spread. 💙 It's a huge part of our lives and inspires my art/ business too. I was a little down about not posting but who said the deadline is tomorrow ? Silly me..... So slide to see some cute info graphics I found. 🎓 I love how the spectrum is depicted. Ours are on "opposite ends " of it but in reality , they have different needs, strenghts and differences. We parent differently too because of this. We try to be understanding and patient knowing their brains are firing all the time. And yes sometimes, we are looked at funny, comments made and our kids treated differently or left out. We adjust things for them too. It's the reality of #asdparents sometimes because of a lack of awareness around us too. 🙃 💗 On the other end, we have more support and love around us by people who respect us and our kids. It touches my heart when their space is respected, people are patient with them and don't get offended when my kids don't react they way they respect. I see you. I love that. As an observant person, I don't forget that ♡ ❤️ So yes....our lives are busy busy over here. But I have a great husband who helps too. We're are the dream team. Haha @wherlth_7 Drop any questions below and I'll do my best to answer them . Or message me for privacy. Happy April 😊 Be on the lookout for new items. And send good vibes to my wrists. Hahahaha 😆 #handmadeitems #shopsmall #asdawareness #crochetitems #crochetstuffedanimals
Did you know that early diagnosis is key when it comes to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual Developmental Disorders (IDD) in children? Timely identification allows for better support and intervention. If you notice any developmental delays or atypical behaviors in your little ones, don't hesitate to consult with healthcare professionals. From speech delays to social challenges, early detection can make a huge difference. Let's raise awareness and empower parents and caregivers to take proactive steps in ensuring the well-being of our little ones! #ASDAwareness #ASDDiagnosis #AutismDiagnosis #EarlyIntervention #ASDAdvocacy #ASDIdentification #AutismSupport #UnderstandingASD #ASDDiagnosis #ASDCommunity #EarlyDetection #ASDParents #DDTAwareness #Neurodiversity #ASDResources #ASDEducation #ChildrenWithSpecialNeeds #AutismSpectrum #DevelopmentalDelays #ASDInclusion
If you're a parent or carer of a Neurodiverse child, you know the struggle to find support, particularly for diagnosis and/or therapy. We recently came across a great directory which may be helpful. It was put together by Pia Hazelwood at Perth Kids Hub and lists Paediatricians, Psychologists and other allied health services with their books open, listed in regional areas across Perth and WA. There’s also information on here for professional development. Link in the Bio under External Links. #ChildrensWellbeing #keyskwinana #sensoryintegration #parentingneurodiversekids #adhdparentsupport #asdparents #asdparenting #adhdsupportaustralia
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often find great comfort and success in environments that are structured and predictable. Here are some tips: ✅ Do: Maintain Consistency: Keeping a consistent schedule helps children with autism understand what to expect, reducing anxiety. Use Visual Aids: Visual schedules and pictograms can make abstract concepts more concrete and understandable. Create Defined Spaces: Designate specific areas for activities such as play, study, and relaxation to help with transitions between tasks. Involve the Child: Allow children to have a say in their routines and the organization of their space. This can increase their cooperation and engagement. Provide Clear Instructions: Use simple, direct language or visual cues to guide behavior and expectations. 🚫Don't: Overwhelm with Choices: Offering too many options at once can be overwhelming. Limit choices to make decisions more manageable. Neglect Downtime: Ensure there’s enough unstructured time for relaxation and play, which is vital for the child’s well-being. Forget to Update the Routine: As the child grows and their needs change, be prepared to adapt routines and structures accordingly. Disregard Sensory Needs: Be mindful of sensory sensitivities while organizing spaces and creating routines. Avoid overwhelming stimuli. Skip Preparation for Transitions: Prepare children in advance for changes in activity or routine to help reduce stress related to transitions.

Yes!! Give it a try… Why? ➡️Children listen to you when you engage with them rather than talking ‘at them’ ➡️Re direction offers the chance to teach your child skills and show them you are willing to play ‘with them’ ➡️By observing your children play and interact with their world, you have an insight into how they like to play and interact with the things in their world . . . . . . #socialskilldevelopment #socialandemotionalkids #emotionalchildren #emotionaldevelopment #asdfamily #autismspectrumaustralia #asdsupport #autismsupport #asdparents #parenting #mymaitland #huntervalley #newcastlensw #newcastlemumsgroup #asdparents #kindergarten #preschool #specialneedsmom #motivation #canberramums #brisbanemums #autismfamilies #smallbusinessnewcastle #kidswellbeing #kidsmentalhealth #autismacceptance #understandingautism #sydneyparents

Understanding how your child's brain is currently working can give you insight into the behaviours and responses you see on a day to day basis. I always explain to parents, it doesn't have to be complicated but what is IMPORTANT to know is if your child is functioning in the lower area of the brain called the brain stem. This is where a lot of the blood flow is especially during times of overwhelm and dysregulation. When this happens this can affect your child's day to day life such as: 🤔 emotional regulation 🤔 Processing of language 🤔 Memory 🤔 Executive functioning skills 🤔 Language development 🤔 Learning 🤔 Behaviour 🤔 Relationships This is WHY i am so passionate about helping parents truly understand their child's nervous system because it really can make such as difference.

There is a correlation between your child's anxiety and their sensory preferences!🤔 🧐Parent #1: Your child has high levels of anxiety and it is taking over their life and are recognising the more anxious they are, their sensory needs increase. 🧐Parent #2: Your child has lots of sensory issues like fear of loud noises, sensitive to clothing and food textures......which leads to high levels of anxiety. Whichever parent avenue you are experiencing right now, you are in the same boat! Overall, sensory input can help regulate your child's nervous system! 😁 If you want to learn more and feel confident advocating your child's needs to others.

How has your morning been? Stressful?? Hopefully not, but generally the mornings in households with kids can be challenging. It is really important for us to ensure that we are consistently supporting our children within the home environment. If we consistently offer our children: ➡️an environment that is predictable ➡️sensory friendly ➡️visually supportive (visuals for every request and transition) ❤️we should be in a better place to have smoother mornings. . . . . . . . . . #socialskilldevelopment #socialandemotionalkids #emotionalchildren #emotionaldevelopment #asdfamily #autismspectrumaustralia #asdsupport #autismsupport #asdparents #parenting #mymaitland #huntervalley #newcastlensw #newcastlemumsgroup #asdparents #kindergarten #preschool #specialneedsmom #motivation #canberramums #brisbanemums #autismfamilies #smallbusinessnewcastle #kidswellbeing #kidsmentalhealth #autismacceptance #understandingautism #sydneyparents

It’s about understanding the neurodiversity in all of us. • It’s beneficial for parents to understand and accept behaviours like unmasking and stimming. These are ways that Autistic individuals self-regulate, and it’s not something that needs to be disciplined. • Avoid toxic positivity. If a child is struggling with making friends, acknowledge the difficulty instead of dismissing it. • Understand and validate the challenges that come with Autism. It’s not always easy, and that’s okay. • Treat children as equals. Autistic children often don’t perceive hierarchy, which can make them seem blunt or direct. Be a safe place for them and lead by example. Remember, every child is unique and what works for one might not work for another. It’s all about understanding, acceptance, and working together. 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗱𝗮.𝗰𝗼𝗺 #asdparents #autismspectrumdisorder #whatourparentsshouldknowaboutautism #pda

Have you ever walked over to your child who is ‘playing’ and asked to join in? Only to find them running away from you? Next time, observe your child playing then join in the game following their need, they may not want to explain the game to you but if you can show them that you can play alongside them in the same way they are playing they may be more receptive to having you in their space. Good luck, let me know how you go. . . . . #socialskilldevelopment #socialandemotionalkids #emotionalchildren #emotionaldevelopment #asdfamily #autismspectrumaustralia #asdsupport #autismsupport #asdparents #parenting #mymaitland #huntervalley #newcastlensw #newcastlemumsgroup #asdparents #kindergarten #preschool #specialneedsmom #motivation #canberramums #brisbanemums #autismfamilies #smallbusinessnewcastle #kidswellbeing #kidsmentalhealth #autismacceptance #understandingautism #sydneyparents
I do find myself wondering where the triggers lie sometimes. Take yesterday for example where we found ourselves in three normally volatile environments, yet escaped without a scratch.

It is a big week for so many families. Just a quick reminder of some basic ideas to help your child transition well into their kindy class ❤️ So many of the families that I support have sent me photos and videos of their little people starting school.

“The problem I have with reading, is that it’s boring.” I’m slightly taken aback, but then realise that he might be onto something. Reading is boring. Especially when you’re forced to read something utterly boring. Like stuff for work. Or school. Or when your brain can’t sit still for one minute and the idea of sitting down quietly is like asking a stranger for a seat. No way sunshine. Not a chance. #adhd #adhdparents #adhdparenting #asdparenting #asdparents #asd
Currently listening to music whilst attempting to block out Mr.T’s rant on why he can’t possibly turn up late to school after a 9am dentist appointment. “If I’m going to be late, I’m not going”. Oh, and this mumma made the mistake of not listing the ENTIRE contents of what is in his dinner, so now he’s hiding under the bench refusing to eat it.

It can be so overwhelming to think of all the new skills that your child needs to develop to help them play and learn. Try setting very small goals to work towards and have a great plan of how you will teach your child their new skills.

…where were we? Ah yes. I’m a twat. But we’ve moved on from there and today we find ourselves at football, an entire 60 minutes of traps and triggers. Despite losing and conceding a penalty, we make it through the hour only to get caught out by a rogue opposition player rubbing in the result. He’s dealt with via several of our own players and we escape intact. Just about. This in itself is massive progress and I catch a handshake between the two of them in the car park. For a moment, all is well in the world. #adhd #adhdparenting #asd #asdparenting #asdparents #neurodivergent #neurokid
Our job is to help you understand your child’s strengths, needs and goals. We can then set you up with strategies to help your child reach their goals. Remember : ➡️if you tailor the strategies to your child’s strengths and needs then challenging behaviour will reduce ➡️when you set realistic goals for your child, they will reach them! ➡️behaviour change can take time, set realistic goals that your child can reach! . . . . . . #socialskilldevelopment #socialandemotionalkids #emotionalchildren #emotionaldevelopment #asdfamily #autismspectrumaustralia #asdsupport #autismsupport #asdparents #parenting #mymaitland #huntervalley #newcastlensw #newcastlemumsgroup #asdparents #kindergarten #preschool #specialneedsmom #motivation #canberramums #brisbanemums #autismfamilies #smallbusinessnewcastle #kidswellbeing #kidsmentalhealth #autismacceptance #understandingautism #sydneyparents #asdfamily #autismspectrumdisorder #austimawarenesseveryday
