National Toilet Paper Day! Book an appointment with GI Care for Kids for all your GI needs.

🧻 It’s National Toilet Paper Day!

Where would we be without this everyday essential? Today, we celebrate the humble roll that’s always there when you need it most.

From the “over vs. under” debate to stocking up for peace of mind — toilet paper may be simple, but it’s a household hero. 🙌

Here’s to the roll that keeps things running smoothly!

When should I receive a Draft Copy of the IEP or Evaluations?

The school won't give you a draft copy of the IEP before the meeting? Is that IEP predetermination, and what should a parent do?

💭 Ever notice how your child’s “bad behaviour” often shows up at the end of the day?

It’s not about them being “naughty.” It’s about their little nervous system finally saying, “I’m done, I can’t hold it together anymore.”

When we understand this, meltdowns stop feeling like defiance, and start looking like stress signals.
And instead of reacting with punishment, we can respond with connection.

👉 Next time your child has a big outburst, try this:

1. Take one deep breath before you speak.

2. Say what you see (“You’re so frustrated your tower fell down”).

3. Offer safety first, solutions second.

✨ You’ll be amazed how quickly they feel seen—and how behaviour follows connection.

➡️ What’s the hardest time of day for meltdowns in your home? (Mine was always right before dinner!)
