Toy safety and play advice directly in your inbox
More of us are trying to spend less time on social media - for ourselves and our families. But if you are raising a child with disabilities, stepping away might give you FOMO on important tips, safety recalls, play ideas and advice.
So I started writing this fortnightly newsletter to support you.
I feel that most online parenting content is either trying to sell something or make you feel like you are failing. This newsletter does neither. Every two weeks, one email arrives with practical safety information, play ideas for realistic family life, and a reminder that you're doing better than you think. That's it.
Toy safety tips, recalls and alerts
Practical play ideas for real (and messy) homes
Honest thoughts on what works, what doesn't
Answers to questions from other families and practitioners
This newsletter is primarily for families, though practitioners find it useful too. If your wider family or friends would benefit, share it with them - we all share responsibility for children's safety.
"I love what you do, Sara. Your approach is refreshingly honest. You get that my little one will lick everything, my 4yo builds castles with blocks, and I just get overwhelmed with their noise. I am so grateful because your advice is practical without being preachy and you somehow make me laugh while teaching me these important things" -Rachel (mum of three boys)
On the other side of the keyboard
I am Sara and it breaks my heart when I see families getting judgment instead of support. I am hoping to change that with this newsletter. I have a research background (PhD in special ed, work funded by OPSS) to know what is evidence-based, and I write every letter myself because this deserves the human touch. Since these are not automated or AI generated letters, and because I'm human, there might be a time when life gets in the way and a newsletter doesn't land. Humans will understand :)
