What are conjunctions? 💬
Conjunctions are connecting words like ‘and’, ‘so’ or ‘but’ - they connect ideas, thoughts and sentences! 🧩💡
⭐️ AND typically emerges around 2-3 years
⭐️ BUT and BECAUSE often develop around 3-4 years
⭐️ More Complex conjunctions (e.g., although, while, unless) continue to develop as children get older
You can support your child’s language development by modelling conjunctions naturally throughout your day and expanding on your child’s sentences! 🙌🏽✨

Collaboration with School & Child Care 🫱🏽🫲🏼🧩
Your child doesn’t just learn or communicate in therapy - they also practice their communication skills every day while at school 🏫
That’s why working closely with your child’s educators is such an essential part of their therapy journey ✅ When home, school and therapy are aligned, children feel more supported, confident and ready to learn! 🌱✨
If you have any questions about how we work with schools, feel free talk to your therapist about organising a a meeting with school to discuss goals, progress and suitable strategies to maximise the gains that your child has already made! 📈

Swing, spin and strengthen! ✨💪
The nest swing isn’t just fun - it helps kids stay calm, focused and builds core strength. This has steadily become one of our favourite tools here at Grow & Tell and is used frequently in our 1:1 and joint speech and OT sessions. Who knew therapy could be this playful? 🤩🙌
