As a parent, if your child has been identified with developmental delays, it is always important to remember that:
- You are not to blame for what happened to your child.
- You are your child’s greatest support and champion.
- Do a bit of self-love and self care. This is more important for your child’s development than your own well being
There are many ways you can help your child with any special need thrive.
Here’s a simple checklist of a few positive steps you can take to support your child’s development — right at home!
Be Your Child’s Strongest Advocate
“I know my child best, and I’m not afraid to speak up for them.”
Create a Therapy-Friendly Home
“Our home is a safe place for learning, fun, and progress.”
Celebrate Progress, Big or Small
“Every small step is a big victory for us.”
Adapt to Your Child’s Needs
“I’m learning and growing with my child every day.”
Build Connection First, Skills Second
“My child’s feelings matter — I connect before I correct.”
Partner with Therapists & Teachers
“We’re all on the same team — my child’s success team!”
Use Play as a Learning Tool
“Learning works best when we laugh together.”
Support Yourself Too
“Taking care of myself helps me take better care of my child.”
Trust the Process — Every Child Has Their Own Timeline
“Every child’s journey is beautiful, even if the path is different.”
Celebrate What Makes Your Child Unique
“My child is wonderfully one of a kind.”
Remember:
You didn’t cause your child’s delay.
Your love, patience, and creativity will make a huge difference.
You and your child are learning together, one step at a time
