Happy National Hugging Day! 🤗

January 21st is the perfect reminder: your child needs your hugs more than you know.

Research shows kids need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 for maintenance, and 12 for growth. When you hug your child, you're not just showing love—you're reducing their stress, building their confidence, and helping their brain develop healthy emotional connections.

We count so many things as parents: veggies eaten, hours slept, tasks completed.

But today, let's count hugs instead.

Some days are exhausting, but a hug costs nothing and gives everything. It says "I love you," "You're safe," and "You matter" all at once.

So pause today. Give that extra squeeze. Cuddle longer at bedtime. Your arms are the first place they learned what home feels like.

How many hugs will you give today? 💙

Here are some ways to teach your toddlers about Martin Luther King Jr. Day:

Say things like:
"Martin Luther King Jr. was a very kind man who helped people be fair to each other. He wanted everyone to be friends, no matter what they looked like. We celebrate him because he taught us to be kind and treat everyone the same."

Remember:
Toddlers learn best through concrete examples.

👉🏼 Pair your words with:
👉🏼 Books featuring diverse characters
👉🏼 Activities about friendship and kindness
👉🏼 Conversations about how we're all special and different

Even our youngest learners can begin to understand the value of treating everyone with kindness.

A Parent's Perspective: Our Journey with Kids Who Count

When our fourth child, Cooper, was born unilaterally deaf, we entered unfamiliar territory. From day one, Kids Who Count stepped in with incredible support—help we never imagined we'd need but are so grateful to have.

Through their services, we've gained confidence and clarity. We now understand what to watch for, when to seek additional help, and how to ensure Cooper has everything he needs to thrive.

The impact on our family has been profound. We're learning ASL together and creating a home environment that celebrates Cooper's uniqueness.

Kids Who Count didn't just support our son—they empowered our entire family.
If you're navigating a similar journey, know that you don't have to do it alone. 💙

Our Kids Who Count Journey 💙
When our son Bryson was born at just 25 weeks and spent 114 days in the NICU, we didn't know what the future held.

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, we were connected with Kids Who Count and our amazing therapist, Kim.

For the past year, Kim has come to our home every two weeks, teaching us techniques and encouraging Bryson every step of the way. Today, with the help of some Superman-themed leg braces and Kim's dedication, Bryson is walking independently, chasing his siblings, and thriving!

Watching him conquer his struggles has made us stronger as a family. Kids Who Count created a stress-free environment where we felt truly seen and heard. We're forever grateful for the love, support, and expertise that helped our little boy reach this incredible milestone.

Thank you, Kids Who Count, for helping Bryson become the busy, messy, joyful little boy he is today!

This darling book is perfect for the month of January!

When Nicki loses his white mitten in the snow, he has no idea it's about to become the coziest—and most crowded—home in the forest! 🧤❄️

One by one, woodland friends discover the lost mitten and squeeze inside: a curious mole, a fluffy rabbit, a striped badger, and even a BIG brown bear! But when a tiny mouse joins the party... well, let's just say things get interesting! 🐻🐭

Jan Brett's THE MITTEN has warmed hearts for over 25 years with its gorgeous illustrations inspired by Ukrainian tradition. Kids love spotting Nicki in the borders of each page, completely unaware of the hilarious adventure happening behind him!
