Practical, printable tools to support your child at home, school, and in everyday life.
Browse downloadable PDFs →We’re parents, too — navigating learning, communication, and sensory differences with our own child. We created Learning My Child to share what we’ve learned, the tools that help, and a supportive community for the journey.
What you’ll find here are the things that helped us through it: real tips, honest tricks, and the quiet truths we wish someone had handed us at the beginning.
Real worksheets and visual supports — designed for the moments at home when you actually need them.
Print at home. Use anywhere. Share with caregivers, therapists, teachers, family.
A gentle, no-pressure roadmap. Readiness signs, step-by-step routine, bathroom visual schedule, and a printable checklist.
Sitting, standing, walking, and developmental milestones from 0–18 months. The chart we wish someone had handed us.
A sound-by-sound guide with a Sound to Word Builder worksheet. Pair with your speech-language pathologist’s plan, or use it on your own to track what is working.
A practical age-by-age checklist of fine motor skills — what to look for, what to practice, and what to bring up at therapy.
An ABC chart (Antecedent → Behavior → Consequence) — the same tool a behaviorist uses, simplified for home. Two weeks of data shows patterns no one else can see.
LEARNING MY CHILD
Real parents. Real conversations. No judgment.
We will email you the day The Parent Circle opens. No newsletters. No spam. Just the invite.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Michael’s mom. Writer from the middle of the journey, not from a place of having everything figured out.
AUTHOR · MAMA · ENTREPRENEUR
I’m Sharmylla Siew, Michael’s mom, an entrepreneur, senior underwriter, and former Forbes Councils member. I’ve always loved writing, even before I called myself a writer: rewriting my friends’ breakup messages, drafting emails to HR, and creating procedures for the finance office. I’ve helped people find the words for years. Then motherhood gave me something important of my own to say.
I wrote Learning My Child from the middle of the journey, not from a place of having everything figured out. I know the worry of noticing something and second-guessing yourself. I also know the wonder of discovering how much your child understands, how they communicate, and who they are when you take the time to really see them.
This book is for the parents still asking questions and learning as they go. My son taught me that supporting a child isn’t about making them fit someone else’s idea of “normal.” It’s about learning who they are, meeting them where they are, and helping them grow as themselves.
OUR BOOK
A Parent’s Journey with Integrated Resources
Available in paperback through Amazon.
Three ways to stay close:
A custom communication book — designed around the things your child loves and asks for every day. We design it. We print it. We mail it.
My voice. My way. My book.
The base book ships with the foundation cards every child needs — the language for asking, naming, and saying yes, no, and "I'm done." This is what helps a child build from 1–2 word requests to 3–4 word sentences.
Plus the items YOU upload — the toys, snacks, books, Play-Doh, blocks, the specific things your child reaches for and asks for every day. That's what makes it theirs.
Choose items your child constantly requests — the toys, foods, Play-Doh, blocks, snacks, books, comfort items they reach for every single day. The more specific, the better.
For each slot: upload a clear photo of the item, then give it a title (what your child calls it) and a short description (what they use it for).
No payment yet. After we receive your photos, we'll send a proof for your approval before any charge.
Here's what happens next:
Thank you for trusting us with this. Your child's voice matters — we'll do this right.

Every item in our storefront is something we’ve tested with our own son — the toys, tools, and books that genuinely helped his development.
