💙✨ KBS Harrison Social Skills Groups ✨💙

This week, our Harrison County groups focused on some of the most important social skills children can develop:

🤝 Making Friends
👂 Active Body Listening
💬 Meaningful Conversations
🎲 Sharing and Taking Turns
❤️ Identifying the Qualities of a Good Friend

Through cooperative games, group discussions, creative activities, and teamwork challenges, participants practiced how to join conversations, listen to others, share ideas, show kindness, and build lasting friendships. Together, they created a “Recipe for Friendship,” identifying the ingredients that help friendships grow—kindness, honesty, sharing, encouragement, and having fun together.

While every activity was meaningful, the best moment of the week came from a parent who shared:

💙 “Mom, I made my first friend.” 💙

Those are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

At KBS, we know that friendships build confidence, belonging, and lifelong social skills. Watching our participants connect with peers, gain confidence, and experience the joy of friendship is truly priceless.

We are so proud of each child for stepping outside their comfort zone, practicing new skills, and supporting one another along the way.

☀️🌱 This Week in KBS Social Skills Groups! 🌱☀️

What a fun-filled week of learning, movement, creativity, and discovery!

Our groups enjoyed:
🧘 Yoga and mindfulness activities to practice self-regulation and body awareness
🎨 Bubble painting masterpieces that combined creativity with sensory exploration
👣 Sensory pathways and obstacle activities that challenged balance, coordination, and problem-solving skills
🌸 Planting flowers and learning how to care for living things through hands-on gardening experiences

One of the highlights of the week was checking on something our older gardening group planted last year. The students were excited to see beautiful sunflowers return and bloom, providing a wonderful lesson in patience, responsibility, and growth. 🌻

At KBS, we love creating opportunities for children of all ages to build social connections, practice communication, strengthen motor skills, and experience success through engaging, meaningful activities.

We can’t wait to see what next week brings! 💙

💜 What an incredible day at the first-ever Pamper & Play! 💜

Today, our KBS team was honored to volunteer alongside an amazing group of community partners to help create a day focused on something so important—supporting caregivers.

While parents and caregivers enjoyed opportunities to relax, recharge, and focus on themselves through massages, hair and nail services, painting, yoga, Reiki, and more, children spent the day making memories through tie-dye, flower planting, sensory activities, crafts, games, and play.

A heartfelt thank you to Family & Children First Council and Stacie for bringing this vision to life. So many families spend every day caring for others and rarely get a chance to take a break. This event provided a space where parents could feel cared for while knowing their children were having fun in a safe, welcoming environment.

We loved every minute of watching children smile, create, explore, and connect while their caregivers enjoyed some well-deserved self-care.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, participated, and helped make the first Pamper & Play a success. We are grateful to have been part of such a meaningful day for local families. 💜

How awesome of an event for families! Sign up today!

Planting with Purpose: A Family Garden Experience

Join us at Pathways for Inclusion Family Resource Center on June 20th from 4:30–5:30 PM for a hands-on family activity designed to celebrate creativity, growth, and connection!

Families will choose from a variety of colorful flowers and personalize their own planter by painting and decorating a flower pot together. Once the masterpiece is complete, children—alongside their parents or caregivers—will plant their flower to take home and continue caring for it as it grows.

This engaging, sensory-friendly experience encourages creativity, fine motor development, and meaningful family bonding, while also giving each child a living reminder of growth and nurturing they can watch bloom over time.

All materials will be provided. Just bring your creativity and get ready to get a little messy!
RSVP to join us, we can't wait to see you!

In our Monday Night Social Skills Group, our learners became little scientists and gardeners as we created our own “greenhouses” and made predictions about what will happen as our seeds begin to grow! 🌱🌼

This hands-on activity focused on so much more than planting seeds. Through the experience, our group practiced important social and communication skills including:

🌿 Taking turns
🌿 Sharing ideas and predictions
🌿 Answering questions in a group setting
🌿 Listening to peers
🌿 Cooperative participation
🌿 Building confidence when speaking
🌿 Patience and responsibility while caring for something over time

The kids loved sharing what they were most excited for and learning that growth takes time, care, and teamwork — just like friendships and social skills do. 💚

We cannot wait to watch our little greenhouses grow over the next few weeks! 🌱✨

🎓 Tonight, we celebrated a very special milestone at KBS!

One of our amazing clients graduated from services, and we could not be more proud of the hard work, growth, determination, and progress that led to this moment. 💙

Graduation days are emotional for our team because they represent so much more than completing a program — they represent confidence gained, goals achieved, independence built, and a future full of possibilities.

To our graduate and family: thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Watching growth happen step by step is why we do what we do, and tonight was a beautiful reminder of that.

Please help us congratulate this incredible young person as they begin their next chapter! 🌟🎓
