Back-to-school nerves are NORMAL. ๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŽ’

A new school year can bring excitement, but it can also bring nerves, pressure, and big feelingsโ€”especially when kids are adjusting to new teachers, new routines, and new expectations.

Here are just a few favorites you might see in a session:

Board Games โ€“ Turn-taking, following directions, and practicing speech sounds while playing games like Candy Land or Pop the Pig.

Puzzles & Building โ€“ Working on vocabulary, problem-solving, and describing while completing puzzles or building with blocks.

Pretend Play โ€“ Using toy kitchens, dolls, or action figures to practice conversation, storytelling, and social language.

Roll & Say Games โ€“ Rolling dice and practicing target sounds or words in a fun challenge.

Interactive Story Time โ€“ Asking questions, predicting what happens next, and building language skills through books.
