INTELLIGENCE – What NOT to do Do not test your child. Do not bore your child. Do not talk down to your child or use baby talk. Do not think that someone else is a better teacher for your child. No one knows or loves your child as much as you do. Do not assume that your child cannot learn or can only learn slowly because he is brain-injured. Do not think tht your child is not intelligent because he doesn’t speak or doesn’t speak well. Do not wait for your child to prove to you that he is smart. He will learn what you teach him. Do not give your child print that is too small for him to read. Do not ignore your child or allow others to ignore him. Do not allow your child to be in an environment tht is noisy, chaotic, or unpredictable. "The Pathway to Wellness" is strictly informational and educational.

How is Yafaau?

Yafaau is generally ok but we are concerned about his low weight. He's getting thinner day by day, although we try every effort not to let that happen. With feeding difficulty, we are also limited to different textures of food because he is on semi-solid food diet. We also could not give just any food as he is prone to constipation and that has been a concern since his early years.

But he is Fun to be with, smiles and even laughs on when we play with him. Samiya, my wonderful wife makes my life easier takes great care of him and am sort a happy with how he's improving. Slowly but surely :)

Thank you for being with us at Yafaau's FanClub

Thank you all very much for your blessings and concern, and thank you for being with us.

I'd like to remind all of you on Yafaau's FanClub again about telling young minds about children like Yafaau. Talking to young children about children with disAbilities do help them understand more about these "unusual" kids or maybe adults. Many "special" parents still feel difficult to be in public places due to community's response on their child. I however feel if children in our community is openly explained and their parents are made aware of the fact that it is okay to approach and ask "special" parents questions they do not happen to know. Because most of them don't know of any child or a person with a disAbility. Anyway, We can and we will, insha Allah see that day.
