Thankful November: 🫶🏼

- I saw a post that resonated with me the other day … “Greatful for every client, every Referral, every Appointment”…. I have thought about that many times over the almost 5 years I decided to walk out on my own, but for some reason it has stuck longer this week.

Supporting me means #1 supporting my family
- I am able to make it to my kids sporting events, middle of the day school fairs etc, something I couldn’t do in the past or it was a large struggle to get there.
-Being independent means no financial assistance, grants, government payments like the big facilities get. It’s 💯 straight work everyday on MY end.
-In return, I support my community back more than I ever have: donations to athletics, dollars for scholarships, Pine Ridge scholarship given to a senior going into the medical or agriculture related field, Towner Rodeo Assoc, Towner Ranch Rodeo, Heart of America Foundation Golf Tournament etc… my groceries, car repairs, hardware etc is all supported right here in our town MORE then it was in the past with me being local everyday- that wasn’t the case 5 years ago. See the cycle?

Supporting me means supporting you back
both financially and recommendations in return 🫶🏼 I’m thankful more than you all know for those that have chosen ME both local and the surrounding area! 💛 I know who you are!

Sometimes, kids just need to move, push, crash, or chew their way to calm! These four proprioceptive activities are perfect for helping kiddos regulate their energy and emotions:

1️⃣ Crashing: Jump and crash into couch cushions, a bed, or a beanbag chair. Safe, fun, and surprisingly calming!
2️⃣ Stomping: Stomp in puddles, leaves, snow, or on floor targets made with colored tape. Big movements, big regulation!
3️⃣ Heavy Work: Push or pull a laundry basket full of books, do wall pushups, or practice animal walks. Strength + calming in one!
4️⃣ Chewing: Gum, chewy snacks like bagels or granola bars, or raisins/dried fruit can help kids self-soothe.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW!

Nursemaid's Elbow (also known as Pulled Elbow, Radial Head Dislocation, or Elbow Subluxation) is a common minor injury which affects children under 5 years.

Pulled elbow is a partial dislocation of the elbow. It's when the lower arm (radius) becomes partially dislocated of its normal position at the elbow joint. It occurs when a child is pulled/lifted by one hand or wrist, or swung around in a circle in play. It can occasionally occur after a fall.
