A break from school doesn’t have to mean learning stops—or that parents become full-time teachers.

Today is a great day to gently reintroduce structure without pressure. Think of learning as something woven into the day, not added on top of it.

A few simple ways to support learning at home:
• Read together for 15–20 minutes and talk about favorite parts
• Ask open-ended questions at meals (“What surprised you today?”)
• Let kids write, draw, or build something inspired by their interests
• Practice real-life math through cooking, games, or planning outings

Most importantly, keep expectations realistic. Children learn best when they feel safe, connected, and rested.

You don’t need worksheets to support growth—just curiosity, conversation, and presence. That’s more than enough. 🤍

Language Facilitation Strategy/Technique of the Day!

Wait, wait, wait!

Provide your child with the opportunity to begin or respond when spoken to or after you imitate words. They may be processing your language and thinking of a word to respond.

If you think you’ve waited long enough for them to respond, wait 3-5 more seconds.

You’ll be surprised how these few seconds can help a child express themselves more effectively.

A fresh year, a gentle reset, and a whole lot of peace.

May our days be lighter, our homes be warmer, and our hearts be rooted in what truly matters.

Staying Accountable in the New Year!

As we step into a fresh year, it’s the perfect time to reflect, reset, and recommit to the goals that matter most. Accountability isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being honest with ourselves, owning our choices, and showing up even when it’s hard.

How to Stay Accountable this New Year:

🎇 Set Clear, Realistic Goals - Know what you are aiming for.
🎇 Break Big Goals Into Smaller Steps - This helps progress feel doable.
🎇 Write It Down - Seeing your goals makes them real.
🎇 Track Your Progress Weekly - Reflection Creates Momentum.
🎇 Celebrate Wins, Big and Small - Rewards keep motivation alive.
🎇 Find an Accountability Partner - Support makes you stronger.
🎇 Be Honest With Yourself - Growth starts with awareness.

✨ A New Year, A Gentle Intention ✨

At The Missing Peace, we believe New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be big or overwhelming—especially for kids. This year, try setting an intention together as a family.

📝 Reflect on the past year
💭 Choose one word or focus (kindness, patience, bravery, curiosity)
✍️ Write, draw, or talk about how you’ll practice it
💛 Remember: growth > perfection

This simple activity works across ages and helps children learn reflection, goal-setting, and self-grace—skills that matter far beyond January.

What’s one word your family might choose for the year ahead? 🌱

Transitions in play are an important developmental milestone.

This kiddo has mastered the stand to sit transition!

Encourage baby to move and explore while avoiding “container” type seating or W-sitting (where the bottom is between the feet and knees are open).

Let's Play Snowman Says!

This Winter, let's challenge our students to a game of "Snowman Says" to practice those self-control skills! Self-control is a tricky skill for children to learn, as this part of their brains (the prefrontal cortex) is still developing. Games like "Snowman Says," are a fun way to develop these skills by teaching them to pause and think.

Here's how to play:
☃️ Choose one student to be the "Snowman."
❄️ The remaining students will face the Snowman and get ready to listen.
☃️ The Snowman will give directions, but only some of them can be followed.
❄️ If the Snowman says what to do, ("Snowman says jump!") the players DO it.
☃️ If the Snowman does not say what to do, ("Jump!") the players DO NOT do it.
❄️ If you follow a direction that the Snowman did not say, you are out!

Language Facilitation Strategy/Technique of the Day!

Play and Follow their Lead: Research shows that children learn language through play, especially when play is meaningful and engaging to them.

Get down on your child’s level and see what toys they gravitate toward. Jump into their play with their preferred toys and see how quickly they learn language that you are modeling!

We’re stepping into a winter wonderland of therapy fun, where snowy themes turn language learning into something truly magical.

From frosty articulation games to cozy, confidence-building language activities, every session is sprinkled with sparkle this season.

A week full of snow, snowmen, and gingerbread men—because learning is even better when it feels like play! ⛄🍪

Fine Motor Fun in Action!

Using “tools” encourages problem solving and bilateral coordination—and these little hands are hard at work figuring out how to use a drill! 🖐️🧠

So much learning happening through play. Great job! 👏
