“May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door 🍀 I’ve always known the farm to be a special place but the kids proved just how lucky it truly is by finding 5 four leaf clovers just this week! Holiday themed grounding activities can be a great strategy to keep in your back pocket to help kids learn mindfulness as they go throughout their day. This week we incorporated searching for four leaf clovers and trying to find as many green things in the barn as we could find. Happy St Patrick’s Day 💚🎩🍀💫

When you are passive and can't walk, a horse helps you run.
When you are afraid, a horse teaches you to trust.
When you are weak, a horse helps you build strength.
When you can't find your voice, a horse helps you speak without words.
When you want to give up, a horse shows you how far you can go.

This class clown could not be more ready for his kiddos to be on summer break so they can come see him more ☀️😎 Swipe left to see what he thinks of my therapeutic activities lately (*hint* the horse ate my homework 🙄) If you are seeing some regression in your child’s behaviors around the end of their school year remember that this is common and likely developmentally appropriate. Kids find safety in routines and familiarity and while the transition to summer break sounds like a positive change it’s still an unknown that could be causing some adjustment related stress. Be sure to keep your child updated on any unique activities or testing schedules to prepare them for what to expect each day. Make connections with the caregivers of their friends in effort to allow them to maintain these friendships over the summer months. Continue to acknowledge the growth that you’ve observed in them over the past year. Give grace (to yourself and your kids) and allow some time for adjustment to the summer routine. If you are still noticing regressive behavior or you would like your child to participate in a social skills group to make some progress over the summer the Summer session of our 8 week social skills groups will be from 6/15-8/10. Email melissa@vitalityfamilytherapy.com for more details.
