Latest top tips
a few bright ideas you've been sending us

  • Paint pens

    Paint pens, like these Squeeze 'n Brush pens, are brilliant for people who find painting difficult, and make very little mess.

  • Ditch the bib

    As your child gets older, if they still need protective clothing when eating, replace a bib with an apron. It's less 'babyish' and demoralising for them and may help eliminate any negative feelings they have about mealtimes.

  • Explore alternatives

    Try replacing repetitive behaviour with another activity that has the same function. For eg if your child flicks their fingers for visual stimulation, try giving them a kaleidoscope or a bubble gun.
