hi bubba (if it okie to call chu that me sowwy) me want to ask if a think for big babbas and little sibby that cant talk yet?
Of course! I'd love to, and calling me bubba is awesome, no worries, bubs!
Fun fact, this is a little personal to me. My younger brother couldn't talk until he was around 5 to 7 years old, so I learned basic signs(ASL) for him. His experience and my experience of taking care of him inspired this a lot
𓏵‧₊˚ ┊ Big brother, non-speaking little sibling
✮⋆˙ Big brother who's learned all the non-verbal queues of his little sibling. It's been a bit since they ate, and they're getting a little fussy? It's probably time for a snack! He'll get some of their favorite drink in a bottle/sippy, or maybe some softer snacks! They're yawning a lot and rubbing their eye with their little fist, or seeming sluggish playing with their toys? It's probably naptime, we can get into some comfy clothes and cuddle! Big bubba will always do his best.
✮⋆˙ He doesn't know everything, of course, but that's where simple choices come in! "Do you want apple juice or orange juice, bud?" "Do you wanna watch bubba play this game, or watch this movie?" "Do you want this toy, or that toy?" and a simple point always does it! If they're too tiny, too upset, or just don't wanna choose, he will do his best, don't you worry! They usually like this juice, so they'll probably like it this time too. They usually love this movie, so he'll put it on. They can play with both toys, he doesn't have to put one or the other away yet.
✮⋆˙ He doesn't always do choices either, there are plenty of ways they can communicate without being prompted! Big bubba could teach them simple signs, like milk, juice, brother, momma/dada, and others! Or maybe, they could get a velcro or magnet board with pictures and words. If they wanted juice, they could put their tile and the juice one so big brother would know! Or even communication cards to show. They aren't limited, there are so many ways they can tell bubba all about things!
✮⋆˙ He's their biggest supporter! He's learned how to understand them the best he can, and do his best to advocate for them when they can't themself. They're so important to him, he'll do his best to make them happy, help them navigate things, and stand up for people who are just being so, so mean! He's always ready to adapt and learn how to best help them.
