At Murray Therapy, we believe in empowering children and their caregivers with tools to navigate the wonderful world of emotions, growth, and understanding themselves. We have put together a list of 5 fantastic books we often recommend. These are great for helping little ones (and you) with:

* Learning to manage emotions
* Understanding sensory sensitivities
* Embracing growth, learning, and change
* Respecting personal boundaries and building social skills
* Understanding feelings and developing coping strategies

Let us know if you've read any of these, or have any others you would recommend.

There are still a few seats remaining for this evening's session. Give us a call on (970) 226-6225 to register.

You are invited to a special talk, “Self-Regulation for Your Toddler/Preschooler”. Tonight's talk is the second of three in the series, and will cover new material (as well as following up from the first talk if there are more questions). You don't need to have attended the first to come along and learn more tonight.

John Murray, OTR/L a local pediatric occupational therapist with four decades of experience, skillfully combines sensory-motor development with child-parent learning to promote the well-being of the entire family.

Join us for an engaging discussion on how to support your toddler or preschooler in becoming their best-regulated selves, while also ensuring parents can enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Bring your questions as we explore practical strategies, problem-solving techniques, and ways to enhance both the home environment and parent-child interactions.

This event is intended solely for adults, and we kindly ask that children do not attend. Thank you for your understanding!

As a parent, do you seem to encounter more extreme parenting challenges than you expect, and you don't know where to turn? In this video, Mr John tells us a story about Susie, a preschooler who could benefit from pediatric occupational therapy. While Susie's story isn't comprehensive, it illustrates some of the common issues in young children which can (and should) be addressed. Take heart, there's hope - and give us or your local pediatric occupational therapist a call to discuss your child's needs.

We're back with another tool for your Parent's Toolbox. Here Mr John addresses tone of voice, specifically when your child snaps at you or doesn't speak with the appropriate level of respect. Try it and let us know how it goes!

Today Mr John shares a tool to add to your Parent’s Toolbox: the Sequencing Index Card. Follow this advice for creating a simple, physical schedule for keeping your child focused and on track when trying to get out the door and off to school.

Tips for Success:
- Use a large colored index card or half a sheet of colored paper - we want your child to have something tactile to hold in their hands.
- Keep the sequence short with 3-4 items. What does your child really need to do to get out the door on time in the morning?
- Be sure to use all three parts: numbered steps, words and pictures. (A sketch is fine, you don’t need to be an artist.) We are intentionally tapping into three separate parts of the brain.
- Use the card to bring the child back on track. No yelling required. When your child has been distracted and isn’t adhering to the sequence, calmly ask what number the child is on. Bring it back to your child each time. Children ages 5 and up should be able to take ownership, so encourage them to.

You aren’t likely to see results instantaneously, but keep at it and you will see noticeable improvement, resulting in less yelling and frustrations for a happier household.

With schools out and the holidays upon us, we thought we'd share Mr. John's top tips for making the holidays harmonious.

1. Keep a schedule ⏰
2. Keep the bedtime routine 🛌
3. Attempt to limit the SNS (Sugar and Screens) 🍨📱
4. Get out of the house! Take your children for a walk or hike. 🥾

You'll be amazed at how far these simple steps can take all of us in keeping everyone regulated and happy during the season.

From all of us at Murray Therapy, we wish you the happiest of holidays!

Does your child struggle to sit still or remain seated during meal time, circle time, in class, etc? In this video, Mr. John shares three simple exercises to help your child improve their glutes - the stronger the muscles, the easier it is to sit still.
