Parents of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities such as autism (or other learning disabilities) are often lost for ideas about how best to help their child. Neuro-typical kids learn by observation and copying; unfortunately our special kids will find it a challenge to even learn basic skills such as using the toilet or playing, and for the older kids, there are issues with using money, reading the time and understanding social cues. Parents are often frustrated when, despite numerous attempts, their kids continue to struggle with learning those tasks. Read the rest of this entry »

The first thing to understand about bed wetting in children is that it’s a relatively common problem. In fact, while most children develop what’s called an ‘adult pattern’ of control over their urination habits by the time they reach three to four years old so that they’re dry both day and night, bed wetting – or nocturnal enuresis as it’s medically termed – occurs in as many as 20 percent of five year olds and up to 10 percent of 10 year olds.

I am in love with music. In fact, my Facebook status is all about music or movie soundtracks. I always rely on music in expressing how I feel in a particular situation every single day. Growing up, music has helped me cope with the many dramas I encountered. The first love, the first broken heart, the loss of my father, and the happy times with friends and family. Even at work, I relax myself from all the stress by listening to the music of Enya. I played the guitar but never really formally took lessons. I just learned how to play so I can socialize with each circle of friends I got to meet. Read the rest of this entry »
