#GlobalDevelopmentDelay

Hi all,
I have an almost 2 year old daughter with GDD and hypermobility. We are going through genetic testing but nothing found as yet. She’s not yet walking but pushing up to stand and is around a 9-12 month level in most areas. No words yet. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to best help her with her development. She has boots to help her when she’s standing and I do physio with her. She starts nursery in October and I’d like her to be ready. Any activity or toy ideas to help her? Or websites with good resources etc? I’d be very grateful for any advice or support.
Thank you 😊 x

A poem for my daughter - #MightyPoets

Revelation - by Jenni Williams

Severely disabled

Global development delay

My daughter has many names

Monkey, Pickle, the Tiny Tornado
I like the ones that speak of her spirit, her energy, her love of life
Names that shatter stereotypes

Not for her the sad piano music, conjuring pain
Like needles in the heart
Her soundtrack is a loud and joyful orchestra
With mischievous melodies and the hammer of drums
A wild and wonderful wall of sound

I was blind before
But now I see
She gifted me with fear
I chose light
Rebirth

Of all her names
One shines above the rest
The name I gave her

Eve

The original
The rebel
The reason

Eve is paradise
