Intelligence - What you need to know

INTELLIGENCE – What you need to know There is no relationship between brain injury and intelligence. There is a significant relationship between brain injury and the ability to express intelligence. Your child is in the best hands when he is with you because mothers are the best teachers for their children. You can teach your child anything that you can present in an honest, factual, and joyous way. Give your child information as a gift without asking for it back again or expecting anything in return. Joyousness is the key to successful teaching and real learning. Children have a range to learn because learning is a survival skill. The brain-injured child often has a difficulty using both eyes together consistently and this interferes with his depth perception, and his ability to learn and to function. Children can read more easily when the print is enlarged significantly. Many brain-injured children are too sensitive to everyday sounds and this greatly interferes with their learning and performance. "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.
