The holidays can be full — full calendars, full expectations, and full hearts.

We asked our Sprout team to share one piece of seasonal self-care advice for parents during this busy stretch.

✨ The real magic is time together.
✨ Connection matters more than spending money.
✨ It’s never selfish to take time or space for yourself.
✨ Make time to waste time with the people you love.

Swipe through for gentle reminders from the people who support families every day. 💚

As we move into Thanksgiving week, we’re reminded that slowing down isn’t just good for us — it’s essential for growing minds.

When children have moments of calm, connection, and rest, their emotional world feels safer and more manageable. Slowing down helps them bloom. 🌿

This week, we’re grateful for the families we support, the children who inspire us, and the community that surrounds us.

Wishing you a gentle, grounding start to the holiday season.

Between school, activities, and busy family schedules, life moves fast — but emotional support shouldn’t have to wait. 🌿💻

Sprout offers virtual therapy for children and teens, giving families access to care from the comfort of home.

Did you know? Even though Sprout is located in Pittsburgh, we can support ANY child or teen in Pennsylvania through telehealth. No matter where you live in the state, help is only a click away. 💚

Because caring for growing minds should be simple, accessible, and stress-free.

🌍💙 Today is 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 — a global celebration of children’s rights, voices, and wellbeing.

Every child deserves safety, dignity, emotional support, and the freedom to grow into who they are meant to be.

At Sprout, we are honored to walk beside Pennsylvania’s children and teens as they learn, grow, and find their voice.

For every child. For every family. For a brighter tomorrow. 💙🌱
