and alcoholism, mental illness, child and spousal abuse, unemployment and poverty. FASD is the most common form of preventable brain damage to infants in the Western world. The brain damage is physical, irreversible and results in lifelong challenges in learning, behaviour, employment and socialization. On the ninth minute of the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth
month, we are asking the world to remember that during the nine months of pregnancy, a woman and her baby should remain alcohol free. No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy. Children with FASD have poor memories, cannot foresee consequences, have difficulty making choices and have challenges socializing with peers. Below are some tips for children with FASD.
Making decisions • Routine is important. Do the same things the same way each day. Repetition will help your child develop a good life skill. • Keep your explanations short and use the same words each time. • Use visual cues or hints when you can. • Offer only two choices at a time. Try to cut down on things that are a distraction, as it’s hard for them to think straight
when a lot is going on. • Point out good decisions and good choices made by your child. Making friends • Find games and activities that are safe and supervised to help your child build social skills. • Don’t expect your child will have a large group of friends. One or two close friends will help your child stay safe.
