😴 Is Your Child Sleepwalking (Somnambulism)?
Sleepwalking, medically known as Somnambulism, is a sleep disorder in which a child may sit up, walk around, talk, or perform simple activities while remaining asleep. Most children have no memory of the episode when they wake up. Although sleepwalking is often harmless and children may outgrow it, frequent or severe episodes can sometimes indicate an underlying sleep or neurological concern that deserves professional evaluation.
Common triggers may include sleep deprivation, stress, fever, irregular sleep schedules, certain medications, or a family history of sleepwalking. During an episode, children may appear awake but are actually asleep, making it difficult to communicate with them.
If your child experiences repeated sleepwalking episodes, is at risk of injury, or shows unusual nighttime behaviors, it is important to seek expert medical advice. Early assessment can help identify the cause and provide appropriate guidance for better sleep and overall well-being.

Speech delay in children should not be ignored, especially when a child is speaking only a few words, struggling to form sentences, using unclear speech, or not communicating according to expected developmental milestones. Every child develops at a different pace, but persistent late talking or difficulty understanding and expressing language may require a professional developmental assessment.

In this informative video, Dr. M. Nauman — MBBS, FCPS, FCPS (DBP), Autism Specialist and Neurodevelopmental & Behavioural Paediatrician at Children Hospital Lahore, discusses the possible concerns linked with delayed speech and explains why timely evaluation can be helpful.

Parents should consider seeking expert guidance when a child shows signs such as limited vocabulary, unclear pronunciation, difficulty following simple instructions, reduced eye contact, poor response to name, difficulty interacting with others, repetitive behaviours, or delayed social and communication skills. Speech delay may be associated with hearing difficulties, language disorders, developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, attention-related concerns, or other neurodevelopmental conditions. However, only a qualified professional can assess the child properly and identify the possible cause.

Early developmental screening can help parents understand their child’s communication needs and receive appropriate guidance regarding speech therapy, behavioural support, hearing assessment, occupational therapy, or other recommended interventions. Early support may improve communication skills, confidence, learning, social interaction, and overall development.

Dr. M. Nauman provides consultations for children with speech delay, autism-related concerns, behavioural difficulties, developmental delay, learning concerns, attention problems, delayed milestones, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) in Autism
Does your child frequently refuse everyday requests, avoid routine tasks, or appear extremely anxious when asked to do something? It may be more than typical childhood behavior. This educational video explains Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), a behavioral profile that can be seen in some autistic individuals.
Children with PDA may avoid demands because of overwhelming anxiety rather than intentional defiance. Recognizing these behaviors early can help parents, caregivers, and educators provide the right support and seek professional guidance when needed.
In this video, you'll learn:
✅ What Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is
✅ Signs and characteristics of PDA in children
✅ Why some autistic children avoid everyday demands
✅ How anxiety can influence behavior
✅ Supportive parenting strategies and communication tips
✅ Why early assessment and intervention are important
Every child is unique, and similar behaviors can occur for many different reasons. A qualified healthcare professional can provide an accurate evaluation and personalized guidance.
