🏃‍♂️ Milestone Monday - Running with fewer falls is a big win—for kids and parents! When a child starts running confidently without frequent tumbles, it’s a sign of growing strength, balance, and coordination.

How parents can help at home:
⭐ Practice running games on grass or carpet for safer falls
⭐ Play “stop & go” games to build control and body awareness 🛑➡️▶️
⭐ Encourage climbing, jumping, and obstacle courses to strengthen balance
⭐ Celebrate effort—not just perfection!

Every small step leads to big confidence. We’re proud to support your child’s progress every step of the way 💙

👀 How do Physical & Occupational Therapy support vision?

Therapy helps kids strengthen the connection between what they see and how their bodies respond. Through play-based activities, therapists may help children:

✔️ Track moving objects while crawling, walking, or reaching
✔️ Improve hand-eye coordination for catching, stacking, drawing, and feeding
✔️ Build balance and body awareness using visual cues
✔️ Strengthen visual attention needed for puzzles, books, and classroom tasks
✔️ Support coordination between the eyes and both sides of the body
✔️ Improve handwriting skills
✔️ Help develop hand dominance

These skills are essential for confident movement, learning, and independence. When vision and movement work together, kids thrive. 💙

👀 Vision is more than just seeing clearly. Early awareness matters—vision impacts movement, learning, and play. If something feels “off,” it’s always okay to ask questions and seek support early. Sometimes, subtle clues can show up that let us know a child’s visual system may need extra support—even when an eye exam looks normal. ✨

Trust your instincts. If something about your child’s movement, coordination, or visual attention feels “off,” early support can make a big difference. 💙

🎯 Ready, Set, Weekend! 🎯

Try the Ball Toss Challenge with your kiddo! Grab a ball (or rolled-up socks) and take turns tossing into a basket, bucket, or laundry bin. 🏀🧺

👉 Make it fun:
• Move the target closer or farther
• Toss with one hand, then the other
• Practice over and underhand throws
• Add silly rules (jump, spin, or clap before throwing!)

Great for coordination, balance, and big smiles — plus it’s easy to do at home or outside! 😄✨
