Kids don’t learn despite play, they learn because of it.

Play is where communication happens:
the trying, the failing, the repeating, the connecting.
It’s where language sticks because it actually matters to the child.

If someone’s ever told you your child needs to “sit still,” “focus,” or “work harder” to learn…
this is your reminder that play is the work.

Save this.
Share this.
Send it to the parent who’s been told play “doesn’t count.”

I always dreamt of being a Broadway star, turns out my stage is the Lilypad and my hit single is every kid song ever.

Still a star, different audience 💁🏻‍♀️

I recently told a family something that surprised them.

I advised them to take a break from speech therapy.
In the clinic and at home.

Their child was getting frustrated.
He was starting to shut down.
And pushing through wasn’t helping anymore.

Even though I’m holding sessions the next few weeks, I encouraged them to take the holiday break off, and not “work on speech” at home either.

That might sound counterintuitive… but here’s the truth:

Language doesn’t grow when a child is overwhelmed.
And it definitely doesn’t grow when a parent is burned out and full of guilt.

Sometimes the most therapeutic thing we can do is reset.
Lower the pressure.
Reconnect.
Let confidence come back.

And I want every parent to hear this clearly:
You should never feel guilty for taking a break.

Rest is not the opposite of progress. Burnout is.

If this helped you breathe a little easier, save it.
And please share this with a parent who needs permission to rest today 💚

That quiet “Is this normal?” question shows up for so many parents, especially when communication doesn’t seem to be unfolding the way you expected.

It doesn’t mean you’re behind.
And it doesn’t mean you’re overreacting.

At Lilypad, support isn’t about labels or pressure to “fix” anything.
It’s about understanding how your child communicates, supporting their development, and helping you feel confident in how to respond, at home and beyond.

If you’re ready for support now, comment SUPPORT and we’ll share the ways we can help

You asked for Saturday classes.... we listened 💜🎶

This year, I watched music therapy unlock communication, regulation, and connection for one of my speech clients in a way that felt joyful and natural. That moment stayed with me.

At the start of 2025, I wasn’t feeling bold, I was feeling nervous.

Hiring, expanding, saying yes to growth… all while wanting to protect the heart of this work.

This year reminded me that growth doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.
It can look like showing up, building trust, and doing the next right thing... one family at a time.

Thank you for being here and growing with me 💚
