💛 Your child’s meltdown isn’t misbehavior; it’s communication.

When big feelings take over, kids need tools to find their calm, and you can help guide them there.

5 ways to teach emotional regulation at home:
1️⃣ Name the feeling: “It sounds like you’re feeling frustrated.”
2️⃣ Create a calm corner: Soft pillows, gentle lighting, sensory toys.
3️⃣ “Flower & candle” breathing: Smell the flower 🌸, blow the candle🕯.
4️⃣ Model calm: Let them see you pause, breathe, and reset.
5️⃣ Feelings chart: Great for nonverbal expression.

✨ At Lumiere, we help turn big emotions into lifelong coping skills.

🚲 Confidence Starts with Balance

Riding a bike starts with more than pedals—it starts with balance, coordination, and courage. 💛

This little rider is learning all three on a balance bike, a therapy tool we love for helping children:

✨ Strengthen core muscles & posture
✨ Build balance, coordination & motor planning
✨ Boost confidence and independence
✨ Learn through joyful, movement-based play

At Lumiere, we believe the best progress happens when children feel safe, strong, and excited to try. 🌟

💬 Has your child used a balance bike before? We’d love to hear what they’ve learned. Drop a story or moment below!  ⬇️

❓Is It Just Tiredness Or Low Muscle Tone?

If your child tires quickly, struggles with posture, or isn’t meeting physical milestones…it could be more than “just being behind.” 💡

👉 Low muscle tone (hypotonia) affects how muscles support movement, even if your child is strong.

📖 In our blog, we explore:
🔹 What low muscle tone really is (and how it differs from muscle weakness)
🔹 Common signs to look out for in infants and children
🔹 How physical and occupational therapy can help your child build coordination, strength, and independence

🏃 Early support through physical or occupational therapy can make a big difference in your child’s confidence and coordination.
