In our latest blog post, we connect with 'Middly' and his mom from the Instagram page @brightcolourfulkids. Learn about their homeschooling adventures and the various special needs they manage, highlighting their inspiring journey and daily experiences.

"Middly started walking in January at the age of 4, but he’s got low tone and is still quite wobbly and unsteady on his feet. When you add his visual impairment into the mix and the fact that he spends four hours a day with his stronger eye patched, you end up with a lot of falls and a few nasty injuries. It’s also affecting his confidence and he’s reluctant to walk outside or somewhere he doesn’t know well. "

"We’ve been thinking about a helmet to protect his head for a while but struggled to find anything that was child friendly and wouldn’t make him stand out. Then I came across Ribcap. We love the design, the stiffened peak will give Middly’s face some added protection if he falls forward, and the cap is made of shock-absorbing foam so is light and soft on his head," tells Sarah, Middly's mom.

"Our foster daughter has an epilepsy syndrome and suffers from drop seizures so we’re going to get another one for her. We’re really impressed!"

To be honest: Middly does stand out, but in a good way. We're really excited to see the growing confidence in this great boy. The positivity & energy is very rewarding to see. Keep up the good work, Middly, let us know when we're invited for your home-made breakfast!
