Is your elementary-aged child struggling with organization and daily tasks?🤔

Executive function skills are like the air traffic control tower of the brain. They help kids coordinate, prioritize, and manage all the different tasks coming and going in their daily lives.

These skills are still developing in elementary years, but sometimes kids need extra support!

Your child may need extra support if...
👉these challenges are significantly impacting your child's daily life at home and school, and you find yourself constantly being their "executive functioning brain." It might be time to consider therapy.

Executive function therapy teaches kids how to break down tasks, create systems, and become more independent, so you don't have to walk them through every little step! 💪

Remember: You're doing a great job. Seeking help shows you're giving your child the tools they need to succeed! ❤️

🫣The AUDACITY! *Cue the dramatic floor collapse*

How DARE you offer something with nutritional benefit when they CLEARLY specified mac n cheese for the hundredth time! 🤣

But here's the thing... You're not alone in this cheesy battle!

Sometimes our little ones get stuck in food ruts, and that's totally normal. But if mealtimes feel like a daily negotiation (or full-on war zone), we're here to help!❤️

At Small Steps, we work with families to expand those tiny menus and bring some peace back to your dinner table.🙌

Because you deserve to eat something other than boxed mac n cheese, too! 😉

😞That knot in your stomach, wondering if your child is "behind..."

We feel you. Here's what Marissa wants you to hear today!

✨ "There is nothing wrong with seeking help or clarification. Early intervention and finding the root cause is ideal, but it is never too late." - Marissa

You're not failing. You're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be, and we're here to walk alongside you.

Here's what we know to be true: Every child has their own timeline. Some kids walk and talk early, others take their sweet time, and that's perfectly okay.

What matters is that when you have that gut feeling something needs support, you trust yourself enough to seek it!

Marissa's favorite part of her job? Creating that safe space where kids feel comfortable being themselves and families feel supported, not judged. Because that's what this is all about!

Helping your child take those small steps to leap over any challenge they're facing.🙌

You've got this, and we've got you.❤️

😩Struggling with a picky eater? Here's the game-changer!⬇️

Have FUN!🤩

When we shift the focus from "eat this now" to playful, low-pressure activities, kids feel more relaxed and open to trying new foods and eating more.

You're doing a great job, mama. ❤️ Sometimes the best thing we can do is take the pressure off ourselves AND our kids.

That's exactly why we created our FREE Food Detective Chart!

🕵️‍♂️ It turns mealtime into an adventure where your little one becomes a food detective, exploring new foods through all five senses. No pressure to actually eat anything!

👀What does it LOOK like?
👃How does it SMELL?
👂What sound does it make when you bite it?
👋How does it FEEL?
👅What does it TASTE like?

This approach helps reduce food anxiety and builds curiosity around trying new things. Research shows kids need 10-15 exposures to accept new foods, and this makes each exposure fun! 👣

That gut feeling telling you something's not quite right? Listen to it.

You've probably heard all the classics:
👉"Don't worry, he'll grow out of it."
👉"My nephew didn't talk until he was three, and now you can't shut him up!"
👉"She's just shy; her brother does all the talking."

Here's the thing... While these comments come from a place of love, they're not always helpful. And honestly? Waiting isn't always the answer.

Here's what we know:
👉If your child IS developing typically, getting an evaluation won't hurt them
👉If they're NOT developing typically, waiting means missing those precious early years when their brain is most ready to learn
👉Communication struggles often lead to frustration, meltdowns, and kids feeling misunderstood

The reality? "Let's check and see" is better than "wait and see."

You know your child better than anyone. If something feels off, trust that instinct. Getting answers now means:
✨Peace of mind if everything's on track
✨Early support if your little one needs it
✨Less stress for your whole family

You're doing a great job. You're asking the right questions. Give yourself some grace, you're doing enough. ❤️

🚨 MYTH BUSTER: "My kid's mouth breathing is totally normal!"

It's NOT!🙅‍♀️

That constant mouth breathing and loud snoring everyone says is totally normal? It could actually be your child's body sending you an SOS signal!

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs): The sneaky condition hiding behind "harmless" habits that can actually impact:
👉How clearly your child speaks
👉Their sleep quality (and yours!)
👉Eating and swallowing
👉Overall development

RED FLAGS you may notice:
🚩Mouth hanging open
🚩Snoring like a tiny lumberjack
🚩Speech sounds that just won't stick
🚩Tongue poking out
🚩Messy eating past toddler years
🚩Drooling that won't quit (after age 4)

Here's the plot twist parents LOVE: This is totally treatable with myofunctional therapy! 🙌

Stop ignoring those "little habits," they might be clues! 🔍
