parenting autisMN on Instagram: "Don’t start with the rules. Start with their relationship with Allah. When our children know who Allah is- His mercy, His love, His kindness- itchanges how they experience their faith. My children are verbal, so this is the approach that has worked in our home. But if your child is non-speaking or has significant communication needs, please remember this: 🤍 Allah knows them better than anyone. 🤍 He knows their abilities, their intentions and every challenge they face. 🤍 They are not judged in the same way as someone who has full understanding and capacity. #autism #islam"

Dr Julie Smith | Psychologist on Instagram: "🤫 A little secret about your brain 🧠 Do all your relationships follow the same destructive pattern? So many of us find ourselves repeating the same painful relationship patterns, even when we desperately want something different. From a Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) perspective, we develop “relational patterns” early in life. They become the templates our brains use to predict what relationships should feel like, what to expect from other people, and how to respond in return. Whatever love looked like in childhood, that can be all we know. Familiarity creates a sense of certainty, even when it comes with emotional pain. So we can sometimes mistake it for compatibility. And the people who trigger your deepest wounds can also feel strangely compelling. Not because they’re right for you, but because they fit an old pattern. 👉 If you like my videos I think you’ll love my million-copy Sunday Times bestseller, ‘Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?’ And my New York Times bestseller, ‘Open When.’ Find them at the link in my bio."
