✨ Therapy Tip Thursday ✨
Did you know that one of the easiest ways to support your child’s language development is simply by talking through your day? 🗣️💛

Whether you’re making breakfast, getting dressed, or heading out the door, narrating your actions helps your little one connect words to real-life experiences.

👉 Try this today: Pick one routine and describe each step as you go. Keep it simple, keep it fun, and watch those language skills grow! 🌱

Remember — when kids are having fun, they’re learning more effectively 💙

✨ Ever notice how a hug can instantly help a child feel calm? A weighted blanket works in a similar way! The gentle, even pressure provides deep touch input that can help some children feel more relaxed, focused, or ready for sleep. 💤

Weighted blankets aren’t right for everyone, though — always check with your child’s therapist or pediatrician, and make sure your little one can move freely and feels comfortable. 💙

Sometimes, the smallest tools make a big difference!

🎓 Friday Fact: Let’s talk about joint attention!
This early skill—when a child and adult focus on the same object or activity together—is a key building block for communication and learning. 👀💬
💡 Try this: Follow your child’s lead! Notice what catches their eye, comment on it, and enjoy the moment of connection together.

👣 Why is my toddler always on their tiptoes?
Toe walking can be a normal phase—or it might be your child’s way of exploring movement or responding to sensory input.
If it sticks around past age 2, it could be worth a quick check-in with a pediatric therapist 💬✨
