🤗 Happy National Hugging Day! 🤗

Did you know hugs are more than just sweet moments? They’re powerful for growing minds and bodies—especially for little ones!

💛 Biological benefits of hugs:
• Release oxytocin (the “feel-good” hormone)
• Help lower stress hormones like cortisol
• Support heart health and immune function
• Calm the nervous system

🧠 Mental & emotional benefits:
• Help children feel safe, secure, and connected
• Support emotional regulation and confidence
• Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
• Strengthen the parent-child bond

For toddlers and young children, hugs are a form of communication—they say “You’re safe. You’re loved. I’m here.”

So today (and every day), don’t hold back those hugs.
They’re doing more good than you might think 💕

✨ Bonus tip: Even a 20-second hug can make a difference!

Every child deserves support that honors who they are.💛

Between ages 2 and 3, children experience a significant leap in communication. You may notice new words popping up daily, short phrases forming, and lots of “why” questions.

If your child is struggling to express needs, combine words, or be understood, early support can make a huge difference. Therapy at this age looks like play, connection, and fun—not drills.

✨ Early communication support helps build confidence, reduce frustration, and strengthen bonding. If you would like to learn more, feel free to get in touch!

Some days, your child is overwhelmed… and so are you.
That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong—it means you’re human.

In those moments, pause together.
Sit on the floor. Hold hands. Take a slow breath side by side.

You don’t have to fix everything right away.
Calm grows from connection, and connection begins when your child knows you’re right there with them.

💛 You’re doing the best you can—and that matters more than you know.

At Thrive, we believe every child deserves to feel understood—and speech therapy helps make that possible. ❤️

Our therapists use connection, creativity, and child-led play to spark meaningful progress in communication. Watching a child gain the skills to express themselves is one of the greatest joys of our work.

Each therapy plan is unique because every child is wonderfully unique. We follow their interests, celebrate their milestones, and help them grow at a pace that feels comforting and achievable.

If you’re curious about how speech therapy might support your child’s journey, we’re here with open hearts.

🧸✨ Did you know tidying up can boost your child’s development?

✅ Fine motor skills (picking up small toys)
✅ Sequencing skills (first cars, then blocks, then books)
✅ Speech practice (naming each toy as it’s put away!)

Turn clean-up time into a mini therapy session — and watch your child’s skills grow while the mess shrinks! 🙌
