Grandparents are everyday heroes!

At PTN, we recognize the invaluable role grandparents play in the lives of little ones. Their love, wisdom, and encouragement support growth, strengthen family bonds, and create cherished memories.

Let’s take this day (it is National Grandparents' Day after all) to honor and thank all grandparents for the special part they play in helping children thrive.

Open a book and let your imagination fly… it's National Read a Book Day!

To celebrate, why not try a “story scavenger hunt” at home?

As you read with your child, look for everyday objects that match things in the book. For example, if the story mentions a ball, find one in the toy bin; if there’s a cat, look for a stuffed animal kitty. This fun, hands-on game helps little ones connect words to real-life objects, boosts speech, and makes reading extra exciting!

It’s completely natural to experience a variety of emotions during this time, and we want you to know we're here to support you throughout the journey. Wishing you and your little ones a wonderful start to the year, full of learning, happiness, and new experiences!

As our little learners head back to school, we're cheering them on every step of the way! Whether it’s mastering new routines, making new friends, or building confidence in the classroom, every child’s journey matters.

Here’s to a year of growth, courage, and amazing adventures! 🌟

Encourage your child to practice talking about their day each evening. Ask open-ended questions like, “What was your favorite part of school today?” or “Did anything surprise you?”

This simple routine helps build language skills, vocabulary, and confidence in expressing feelings. Plus, it opens up great conversations to stay connected and support your child’s communication skills.

A wonderful way to help kids build good habits and boost their independence is the Melissa & Doug My Daily Routines Chart! This double-sided wooden chart features 10 easy-to-flip flaps—five for daytime routines like getting dressed and brushing teeth, and five for nighttime tasks like taking a bath and reading a book. Kids can proudly flip each flap as they complete their daily activities. It’s a fun, hands-on way to encourage positive habits and make daily routines engaging for your child! https://bit.ly/4ozXpfw

Back to school means new routines—and that can be tricky for some kids! To help your child transition smoothly, try setting up a "calming corner" at home.

Fill it with their favorite books, soft pillows, or calming toys where they can take a break whenever they feel overwhelmed or need a moment to recharge. Teaching kids to recognize when they need a break builds emotional awareness that helps them thrive at school and beyond.

In our August blog, we share 3 ways to incorporate your child’s therapy into their morning school routine. We understand that the transition from summer to going back to school can be an adjustment, and finding time to work on your little one’s therapy doesn’t always feel possible. Our hope is that these tips make your mornings smoother, calmer, and more manageable for both you and your kiddos. https://bit.ly/4fqoyO9

Happy Friendship Day!

As the new school year begins, so do new opportunities—for learning, growing, and making friends!

At PTN, we know how important friendships are for a child’s confidence and emotional development. Going back to school can feel overwhelming, but a friendly face and a kind word can go a long way. Here are a few simple ways to help your child build new friendships this school year:

1. Practice Listening Skills: Encourage your child to ask questions and listen when others speak. Being a good listener helps kids feel connected and shows they care.

2. Take the First Step: Encourage your child to be the one to invite a classmate to join an activity or sit together at lunch. Taking initiative, even in small ways, can help break the ice and start new friendships.

3. Lead with Kindness: A smile, a compliment, or a simple “Do you want to play with me?” can make someone’s day—and spark a new friendship.

Friendship helps kids feel safe, seen, and supported at school. Let’s make sure every child heads into the year knowing they belong.
