🎉 “What’s That Word?” Wednesday – New Year’s Eve Edition

Word of the Week: “Happy”

🎊 It’s New Year’s Eve — a perfect time to spread joy and celebrate language!
This week’s word is “Happy” — a foundational emotion word that supports connection, emotional vocabulary, and social sharing.

🎯 Today’s Word: “Happy”
💬 “Happy New Year!”
💬 “I feel happy!”
💬 “You look happy!”

🧠 Why it matters:
Happy helps children express emotions, connect with others, and participate in celebrations. It’s a versatile word used during greetings, play, and everyday routines.

🎉 Try This Today:
➡️ Model “happy” during joyful moments: “You’re so happy playing with your toys!”
➡️ Show photos and ask, “Who looks happy?”
➡️ Use during celebrations: “Everyone’s saying, ‘Happy New Year!’”

💡 GLP Tip: You might hear early gestalts like:
🗣️ “I’m so happy!”
🗣️ “Happy birthday!” or “Happy New Year!”
🗣️ “That makes me happy.”

🎉 Talk It Out Tuesday

New Year Talk: Simple Words for New Beginnings!

New Year’s doesn’t have to be loud or overwhelming to be a great language opportunity. Everyday moments like counting down, celebrating small traditions, or talking about routines are perfect for building communication.

💬 Try This New Year Language:
   •   “Pop!” → “Pop bubbles!”
   •   “Hat!” → “Party hat!”
   •   “Cheers!” → “Say cheers!”
   •   “Go!” → “New year!”
   •   “Again!” → “Count again!”

🌱 Why This Works

Repetitive, predictable language helps children understand routines and events. Short, meaningful phrases support language growth while keeping celebrations manageable.

🏡 Home Tip

Create a kid-friendly New Year moment—early countdowns, balloon drops, noise-free celebrations, or watching the clock together. Talk about what’s happening using simple, clear language.

🎄 Small Wins Sunday – Holiday Edition
✨ “Mommy, dinosaur car, pretty please!” ✨

This heartfelt moment was shared with us on Christmas Eve by one excited mama:

“At the store today, when we got to the checkout, my little guy said, ‘Mommy dinosaur car, pretty please.’ He definitely got the toy — but I never thought I’d hear him say a sentence so clearly!”

🥹 These are the moments that matter most. Clear, spontaneous, meaningful language — in real life, at just the right time. We’re so proud of this little communicator and so happy for his family!

🦖💚 Communication is connection. Progress is powerful. And every milestone counts.

🧘‍♀️ Sensory Support Saturday: “Parent Tip Saturday” – The After-Christmas Reset

🎯 Focus:
Support children who may feel overwhelmed, dysregulated, tired, or emotional after the excitement and unpredictability of the holidays. Many kids need help rebalancing their nervous systems and routines.

🌟 Parent Tip Saturday 🌟
Christmas is over… and whew — what a whirlwind! 🎁✨

The days after a holiday can be just as challenging as the event itself. Many kids experience:
– 💥 Sensory crash after days of high stimulation
– 😩 Emotional drop after big excitement
– 😵‍💫 Exhaustion from disrupted routines or travel
– 😢 Sadness or dysregulation they don’t know how to express

💡 Here are a few gentle ways to help your child (and yourself!) re-regulate and reset:

✅ Rebuild predictable routines (wake/sleep/meals)
✅ Offer calming sensory input: deep pressure, quiet play, slow movements
✅ Allow space for decompression (even a cozy “calm corner”)
✅ Use visuals or timers to ease transitions
✅ Lower demands and provide co-regulation
✅ Reflect out loud: “It’s okay to feel a little off after so much excitement.”

✨ Be the calm they can return to. They’re adjusting — and you are, too. 💛

🎄 “What’s That Word?” Wednesday – Christmas Eve Edition

🎁✨ It’s Christmas Eve, and the excitement is REAL!
Today’s word is “Wait” — a powerful concept that helps children navigate transitions, routines, and big feelings during exciting moments like the holidays.

🎯 Today’s Word: “Wait”
💬 “We have to wait till tomorrow!”
💬 “Wait your turn.”
💬 “Let’s wait and see!”

🧠 Why it matters:
“Wait” supports emotional regulation, turn-taking, and executive function. During holiday moments full of anticipation, it’s a great word to model gently and positively.

🎉 Try This Today:
➡️ Use “wait” with visual supports or gestures (e.g., hold up a finger or wait card).
➡️ Count down out loud to waiting moments: “We’ll open one gift after dinner.”
➡️ Use “wait” during sensory play, turn-taking, or preparing holiday meals.

💡 GLP Tip: You might hear:
🗣️ “I don’t want to wait!”
🗣️ “Let’s wait our turn.”
🗣️ “Waiting’s hard!”

🎄 Talk It Out Tuesday

Christmas Talk: Build Language During Holiday Moments!

Christmas is full of routines, excitement, and meaningful moments — perfect opportunities to support communication. Use simple modeling and shared attention to help your child grow their language during the holiday season.

💬 Try This Christmas Language:
   •   “Tree!” → “Christmas tree!”
   •   “Lights!” → “Bright lights!”
   •   “Gift!” → “Open gift!”
   •   “Santa!” → “Santa coming!”
   •   “Again!” → “Read again!” / “Sing again!”

🌟 Why This Works

Holiday activities are motivating and familiar. Modeling short, meaningful phrases helps children naturally expand language without pressure or demands.

🏡 Home Tip

Slow things down. Focus on one activity at a time — decorating, reading a Christmas book, listening to music, or unwrapping one gift — and talk about what you see, hear, and do together.

🧡 Small Wins Sunday

Sometimes the greatest progress happens outside of our walls.

This week we welcomed back one of our little friends after a short break from therapy due to illness and weather. During his time away, his amazing family continued practicing strategies, routines, and play ideas at home—and it showed!

He returned smiling, confident, and ready to engage—like no time had passed at all. 🙌

We’re reminded again how much power lies in family involvement, consistent support, and joyful connection. Collaboration makes all the difference, and we’re so proud of this little one and his caregivers for keeping the momentum going 💪

💬 “He didn’t miss a beat!”
🧡 Thank you to our families for being our partners in progress.

🎄 Sensory Support Saturday: “Parent Tip Saturday” – Calm & Cozy Christmas

🎄 Parent Tip Saturday 🎄
Christmas Day can be magical — and also a sensory rollercoaster for some kids.

Bright lights, loud music, new smells, itchy clothes, unwrapping chaos, unfamiliar guests, changes in routine… it’s a lot for little nervous systems!

Here are a few simple tips to support sensory regulation during Christmas celebrations:

🧠 Prep the day:
✅ Preview the schedule with a visual or verbal rundown
✅ Let kids open one gift at a time in a quiet space
✅ Offer noise-reducing headphones, chewies, or fidgets

🎁 Honor their pace:
✅ It’s okay to say “no thank you” to hugs
✅ Don’t rush through new toys or force participation
✅ Provide a quiet space for breaks if things get loud

🛋️ Comfort over appearance:
✅ Choose cozy clothes over scratchy sweaters
✅ Let them help pack a calm kit: snacks, headphones, favorite items

💛 Remember — regulating their body helps them connect with joy.
