Your Child Struggles to Calm Down?

Some children with developmental delays or disabilities may find it hard to calm themselves after feeling upset, frustrated, or overwhelmed.

Signs to watch for include:
- Prolonged meltdowns or crying
- Difficulty returning to activities after being upset
- Physical tension, restlessness, or shouting
- Trouble using words to express feelings

These moments can be exhausting—for both children and caregivers—but teaching coping strategies in a safe, supportive way can make a real difference.

How to help your child:
- Offer a quiet, safe space to regroup
- Model calming strategies, such as deep breathing or gentle movement
- Encourage the use of words, visuals, or gestures to express emotions
- Celebrate small steps toward self-soothing and calm

At Stepping Stones, our counseling services help children express their feelings, manage frustration, and develop healthy coping skills in a nurturing environment.

Therapy Tip Tuesday: Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a hands-on therapy approach used by pediatric therapists to help children develop balance, coordination, posture, and gross motor skills. It focuses on providing guided, dynamic movement challenges tailored to each child’s abilities, helping them gain confidence and independence in everyday activities.

🏠 At-Home Ideas Inspired by DMI:
-Reach for objects at different heights – Encourage your child to reach for toys or household items slightly above or to the side to practice balance and trunk control.
-Practice sit-to-stand – Have your child stand up from a chair with minimal assistance to strengthen core and leg muscles.
-Obstacle course fun – Use pillows, cushions, or low boxes to create safe climbing, stepping, or crawling challenges that promote coordination and dynamic control.

These are fun, general ideas to support movement at home.

If your child is working on gross motor skills or developmental milestones, our therapists at Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy, Inc. are here to guide and support them every step of the way.

Craig Lundberg, a blinded war veteran, has never let sight loss define the limits of his life. At just 21, he faced the world without vision, but instead of seeing barriers, he found opportunity—especially in the moments that matter most: with his family.

Craig and his nine-year-old son are embarking on a remarkable adventure, starting with Ben Nevis in Scotland, continuing to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) on Craig’s 40th birthday, and culminating in Ireland with a hike over 3,400ft up Carrauntoohil. Guided by his friend Callum and supported by Deborah, Craig demonstrates that while blindness presents challenges, determination, teamwork, and love make every peak attainable.

His story is a powerful reminder that courage, family, and perseverance can transform life’s obstacles into unforgettable achievements.

Happy birthday, Zac! 💙 We’re honored to be part of your journey and incredibly thankful to this wonderful family for thinking of Stepping Stones. What a beautiful way to celebrate.

🗓️February 1st-February 28th🗓️

As you may or may not know, our 10-year-old lives with several medical conditions, one of them being cerebral palsy. Because he is wheelchair-bound, he receives ongoing physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Since opening our little bookstore, we’ve been searching for a meaningful way to give back to the incredible team who has supported Zac every “step” of the way at Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy Center.

It just so happens that our boy’s birthday falls in February, and what better way to celebrate him than by supporting the place that’s done so much for his growth and success? For the entire month of February, we will be donating 10% of all book sales to Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy Center.

Thank you for helping us turn his birthday into something that gives back 💙
