Myth vs. Fact #3: "If they're not looking at you, they're not listening."
A lot of us grew up hearing "look at me when I'm talking to you." But for many autistic kids, eye contact can feel uncomfortable, and looking away is often how they focus on what you're saying. Chatting side by side, in the car, on a walk or while you play, can make talking a whole lot easier for everyone.
Where does your kiddo do their best talking?

Parent Tip #10: when the clocks fall back 🕰️
The time change can throw sleep off for a week or two, especially for kids who count on routine. A few things that help: nudge bedtime 10 to 15 minutes at a time instead of all at once, keep the bedtime steps in the same order (bath, pajamas, book, lights out, whatever yours looks like), and open the curtains first thing in the morning so their body gets the "it's daytime" message.
Go easy on yourself too. A few rough nights is normal.
How's bedtime going at your house this week?

Parent Tip #9: make Halloween a little easier 🎃
Costumes, doorbells, flashing lights and lots of people can be a lot. A few things that help: try the costume on for a few minutes before the big night (and it's fine to skip the mask), practice knocking and saying "trick or treat" at your own front door, and decide ahead of time that a few houses is plenty. Going home early still counts as a great Halloween.
What's your plan for tomorrow night?

Parent Tip #8: ask once, then wait ⏳
When you ask your kiddo something, try counting to five in your head before you say it again. A lot of kids need a few extra seconds to take in the words and figure out their answer, and repeating it can start that whole process over. It feels like forever at first, but that little pause gives them room to respond on their own.
Have you ever noticed your kiddo answer right after you stopped asking?

A skill becomes even more meaningful when a child can use it beyond a therapy session.

That's why practicing skills within everyday routines can create opportunities for learning at home, during play, and in the community.

At Kiwi Kids, we focus on helping children build skills that can become part of their everyday lives—not skills that only exist during therapy.

Parent Tip #7: follow their lead 🎨
Next time you play together, let them pick the game and just join in. Copy what they're doing, talk about it ("You're painting a big blue sun!"), and hold off on questions and directions for a few minutes. Kids usually stay longer and share more when they get to be in charge.
What does your kiddo love to play when they get to choose?

We asked one of our BCBAs a simple question:

What's your favorite skill to teach?

Their answer? Communication.

Communication can look different for every child. It may involve spoken words, gestures, signs, visuals, AAC, or other individualized ways of expressing wants and needs.

Helping a child find a reliable way to communicate can be a meaningful step toward greater connection, participation, and independence.

What's one skill you'd love to see your child become more confident with?
