Every child deserves to feel safe.
With province-wide adoption of
KIK, children are learning life-
saving skills to recognize unsafe
situations and speak up. @miles4smilesNL #childabusepreventionmonth #bodysafetyNL

The survivors who came forward showed immense courage. Now, the justice system must honour that courage with real accountability. #JusticeForSurvivors

"If today feels heavy, carry it lightly. If it feels empty, fill it with small comforts. A warm drink. An uplifting song. Soft clothes. A deep breath. You don’t have to fix today. You just have to move through it.” @VexKing

Watch and learn. 👀 🧠

I’ve written often about how infants learn language not just with their ears, but with their eyes.

But I’ve rarely run across a better video example than this lovely moment shared to IG by seanandcaitlin.

Watch this back and forth closely. As mom speaks, our hero (shown here just shy of 8 weeks old) puts his newfound visual acuity to good use - studying not just the sounds she’s making, but the way mom’s mouth moves to produce them.

And watch how closely he manages to mimic her - repeating her greeting over and over again.

He’s not yet vocalizing the sound. But make no mistake: That little mouth is parroting the movement of mom’s own. He’s saying “hi.”

This video helps to illustrate the ways in which language learning is fundamentally social - happening best through engaged, face-to-face interaction with loved ones (and not through prolonged exposure to media).

Prioritize face to face time with your baby. It unlocks the whole world for them.

This Mental Health Week, remember: scrolling isn't self-care. Take a break from the noise of social media, prioritize real connections, and nurture your mental well-being offline. Your mind will thank you. @miles4smilesNL #mentalhealth

Mental health is just as important as physical health.
