Happy Halloween from Birch Forest Children's Therapy Center!

For kids of any age that struggle with the spooky nature of this month, there are a few ways you can help them feel more confident.

PREP!- Talk about Halloween, read books, let them know step by step what to expect trick or treating or at any events.

VALIDATE!- It's okay to be scared! Scary is a feeling we all feel. Engage your child in a conversation about their fear. Where do they feel it in their body? What is their fear telling them? Showing kids that we are okay with their fear, talking with them about it, and giving them tools to work through it helps build resiliency.

Of course, if you feel that your child (or you!) needs extra support, we are always here to help!

With summer winding down and the school year starting up, one easy and helpful way to aid in the transition is to continue getting outside! Children's minds and bodies will be adjusting to the increased time spent indoors, following directions, focusing, and new social dynamics. Allowing outside play time after school and on the weekends can help them relieve stress and excess energy that comes along with this big transition. Best of luck in this new school year!
