🧴 Therapy Tip Tuesday

Shaving Cream = Sneaky Skill Building! 🫧✋🧠

Shaving cream isn’t just messy fun—it’s a powerful therapy tool!
In speech, OT, and even early learning sessions, we use it to help kids:
🖐️ Explore textures and build sensory tolerance
🧠 Strengthen fine motor and pre-writing skills
💬 Practice letters, shapes, and name writing
😄 Reduce anxiety through calming sensory play
🗣️ Encourage spontaneous language ("so soft!", "look at mine!")

Pro tip: Let your child "draw" in shaving cream on a table or mirror at home. Add a few sight words or shapes for extra learning!

🎗 Childhood Cancer Awareness 🎗

Most children with cancer will be sedated more times in their first year after diagnosis than the average adult will be in their entire life.

This is the heartbreaking reality for so many brave kids and their families. Every scan, every treatment, every procedure—often requires sedation. Because they're enduring what no child ever should.

💛 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
💛 Let's honor their strength.
💛 Let’s raise awareness.
💛 Let’s advocate for better treatments, more research, and lasting support.

💛 World Su***de Prevention Day 💛

You are not alone. You are so deeply loved.
Today, we’re taking a moment to remind everyone:
You don’t have to have it all together. You don’t have to be perfect. You are allowed to struggle — and still be worthy of love and support.

Let’s be the kind of people who check in, listen without fixing, and remind others that there is always hope. 🌅

We weren’t meant to walk through life alone — and the beautiful truth is, we don’t have to.
“Be strong and courageous... for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 🤍

🌟 Motivational Monday | Labor Day Edition 🌟

Today, as we celebrate Labor Day, we’re reminded that rest is just as important as hard work. 💪🛌

God designed our bodies and minds to need moments of pause. Even Scripture reminds us:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 ✨

So today, let’s honor both the work of our hands and the gift of rest.

🎉 Fun Fact Friday! 🎉
👶 Babies are born with 300 bones — but adults only have 206! 🤯
As we grow, some bones fuse together to form the stronger structure our bodies need to move, run, play, and thrive. 💪
Pretty amazing, right? That’s why pediatric therapy is so important — those little bodies are changing every day! 💙
At New Hope, we love helping kids grow strong and confident at every stage of development!
