Try This at Home: Encourage Head Turning 💛

Try this easy activity to encourage turning, stretching, and strengthening - the FUN way!

✅ Place a bright toy, interesting object, or your face on the side your baby doesn’t naturally turn toward
✅ Keep it close (8–12 inches) so it catches their attention
✅ Move slowly and let their eyes lead their head
✅ Do this on back and on stomach
✅ Don't let them roll to the side they are looking
✅ Celebrate any turn—big or small! 🎉

Using vision to motivate movement is a gentle, playful way to build balanced strength and curiosity. 👀

How Therapy Helps: Torticollis 💙👶

Torticollis can make it hard for babies to turn their head, but early therapy helps them move, explore, and grow with confidence. Here’s how physical therapy makes a difference:

👉 Strengthens neck & trunk muscles
👉 Improves head turning on both sides
👉 Supports symmetric rolling, reaching, and crawling
👉 Helps prevent flat spots
👉 Gives parents simple daily strategies

Early intervention matters✨. If you’re noticing a head turn preference or flat spot, our pediatric team is here to help.

Ready, Set, Weekend! 🎉 This week’s challenge: build your own obstacle course! Use pillows, chalk, blankets—whatever you’ve got.

Some ideas: 1) Pillow Hop - Hop from pillow to pillow without touching the floor 2) Crab Walk Lane - Move sideways or backwards like a crab for 10–15 feet 3) Balance Beam - Use sidewalk chalk or a piece of tape as a “tightrope" 4) Tunnel Crawl - Crawl under a dining table or between two chairs with a blanket draped over 5) Target Toss - Toss beanbags (or rolled socks!) into a laundry basket before finishing.

Let the kids design it, run it together, and tag us so we can cheer you on!

🌈 Happy World Kindness Day! 🌈

At MOSAIC Health & Rehab, we love teaching kids to be bucket fillers! 🪣💛 Everyone carries an invisible bucket that holds our good thoughts and feelings. When we do something kind — share a toy, give a compliment, help a friend, or use kind words — we fill someone’s bucket (and our own, too!). But when we say or do hurtful things, we dip from someone’s bucket and make it a little emptier. Today, and every day, let’s choose to be bucket fillers — spreading kindness, smiles, and love wherever we go! 💕

🎉 Milestone Monday: First Word! 🗣✨

Hearing your baby say their first word is one of the most magical moments in early development! Whether it’s “mama,” “dada,” “more,” or something totally unique — this milestone opens the door to communication, connection, and learning. 💛

🔹 Why is a first word important?
✅ Builds early communication & language skills
✅ Shows growing understanding of the world
✅ Encourages social interaction
✅ Sets the stage for vocabulary growth 📚

🔹 Ways to Encourage Talking:
👶 Narrate daily activities — talk to your baby throughout the day
🧸 Read books together & label pictures
🗣 Repeat sounds your baby makes to build back-and-forth connection
🎶 Use songs & simple phrases to increase exposure to language

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you have concerns about communication or language delays, our pediatric therapy team is here to help! 💙

Tag a parent who needs to see this & share your little one’s first-word moment with us! 📸👇
