Back-to-School Success Starts Now

The first day of school is coming fast—and you can make the transition easier (and more fun!) by getting your child ready little by little over the next few weeks.

Here are some simple ways to help your child feel confident and excited for the big day:
✨ Shift the Schedule Slowly
Move bedtime and wake-up times a little earlier each day so the school routine doesn’t feel like a shock.

✨ Practice Morning Routines
Do a “pretend school day” where your child gets dressed, eats breakfast, and packs a backpack—just like they will on a school morning.

✨ Boost Independence
Let your child practice zipping their backpack, opening snack containers, and putting on shoes. These little skills make them feel proud and capable.

✨ Talk About What’s Coming
Read a fun back-to-school book or look at pictures of their classroom. Knowing what to expect helps ease those first-day jitters.

✨ If You Can—Visit the School
Walking through the building or playing on the playground ahead of time makes the first day feel familiar.

💛 At Pine Peak Therapy, we love helping kids build the communication, social, and confidence skills they need to shine at school—and beyond!

✋Trust Your Hands to the Experts!

Your hands are too important to trust just anyone.
CHTs are OTs or PTs that are highly trained to help restore motion, reduce pain, and get you back to life!

A CHT is the Gold standard for upper extremity rehabilitation. 💪

Pine Peak Therapy is proud to offer Certified Hand Therapy right here in Fosston! 📍

Call today to learn more or to schedule a visit with Ashlee Lee, OTR/L, CHT!

🌳🎈 Language Learning at the Park? Yes, Please! 🎈🌳
At Pine Peak Therapy, we LOVE using everyday moments to build communication skills — and the playground is full of opportunities!

Here are a few simple ways to encourage language growth during park play:

🛝 Name what they see and do
➡️ “You’re climbing the ladder!” “Look at the tall slide!”

👂 Pause and wait
➡️ Give your child time to respond or request: “Ready, set…” (pause for them to say “go!”)

🙋 Offer choices
➡️ “Do you want the swing or the slide?”
This encourages expressive language and decision-making!

🐦 Talk about what you see
➡️ “I hear a bird!” “The dog is running fast!”

🎯 Use action words
➡️ Jump, swing, climb, spin, run — action words are powerful building blocks for sentences!

Small moments = big growth. 💬❤️
Language isn’t just built at a desk — it blooms in motion, connection, and play.

👇 Have a favorite park or play idea that sparks conversation? Share below!
