Thinking about weaning from the pacifier? Here are some of our tips!

1. Gradual weaning, starting with limiting use to sleep only.
2. Cutting the ni**le of the pacifier. Be sure to check for small pieces as these can be a choking hazard!
3. Replace the pacifier with another soothing item such as a blanket or stuffed animal.
4. Make it fun! Send the pacifier off to Santa, the Easter Bunny, or babies in need to make the experience meaningful for your child.
5. Remove all the pacifiers at once.
6. Provide extra support with regulation and soothing during the transition period.

Active play is actually the brain’s favorite way to learn and YOU are your child’s favorite teacher!

Take a bit of time each day to play with your child whether it’s as simple as coloring or as active as running around at the playground together.

February is all about Love and Inclusion!

Inclusion is ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, learning style, or background, have equal access to learning and opportunities to participate in the classroom.

This month, join our behavior team as we explore different ways we can be more inclusive in the classroom and show love to all.

When students feel safe, respected, and celebrated for who they are, learning can happen naturally.

As academic demands increase, many upper school students struggle quietly ✍️

Difficulty analyzing texts, organizing written responses, or managing multiple long-term assignments can signal a need for additional support—not a lack of effort.

Encourage your child to talk through their thinking, outline before writing, and ask for clarification when expectations feel unclear.

And if school feels consistently overwhelming, partnering with an educational support team can help students regain confidence and momentum.

Pacifiers don’t just impact speech, they can affect feeding too! 🍽️

Prolonged use may interfere with tongue movement, lip strength, and chewing patterns.

Some children may develop immature swallowing patterns or difficulty transitioning to age-appropriate textures.

Supporting proper oral motor development early can make a big difference in feeding success.

Does the start of a new year make you feel overwhelmed? Using Micro-goals can help reduce this feeling and move you forward towards success. Micro-goals are small, specific, immediate steps we can take toward a goal without triggering stress.

How it Works:

Instead of: "Finish the whole assignment."

Try: "Complete the first 3 problems."

Each small success sends the message that, "I can do this," and those small wins stack up fast!

Middle school is where organization starts to matter as much as content 📓

Many students who “know the material” still struggle with planning, time management, and keeping track of assignments. A simple weekly check-in—reviewing upcoming deadlines and breaking tasks into steps—can be incredibly effective.

If your child seems overwhelmed, forgetful, or constantly playing catch-up, they may benefit from explicit instruction in executive functioning skills. These are learned skills, not personality traits.

Did you know pacifier use can affect speech development?

When a pacifier is in the mouth often, children have fewer opportunities to babble, imitate sounds, and practice speech movements.

Over time, this may impact articulation, clarity of speech, and oral motor strength.

Reducing pacifier use, especially during awake times can help support healthy speech development.

Does your child crave constant movement or avoid certain sounds, textures, or environments?

These patterns are often described as sensory-seeking or sensory-avoiding and may be signs of Sensory Processing Disorder. When sensory input becomes overwhelming, it can affect daily functioning and emotional regulation.

An Occupational Therapist can help uncover what’s happening beneath the surface and create supportive, individualized solutions.

January is all about setting new goals! If you are struggling to turn your goals into actions, try the IF-THEN goal method. This strategy helps bridge the gap between intention and behavior, especially if you benefit from structure and predictability.

How it Works:
An IF statement identifies a trigger or challenge.�A THEN statement clearly states the action or skill to use.
Example: If I start to feel frustrated, then I will take 3 deep breaths.
By using the IF-THEN method, you can build self-awareness, reduce impulsive reactions, support emotional regulation, and replace maladaptive behaviors with adaptive skills. �
