Waterfalls, waves, fountains in lakes … take a break and sit!

Learning is a Process not an Event

Partnering with LPS Health Services demonstrates this paradigm to the highest level

We have spent many hours t/g

After all our school nurses walk alongside our kiddos when brain health matters arise

Cheers to their ongoing learning!

Kids are naturals at play… when we minimize this super important learning experience, we literally minimize their education

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

especially during the holidays

YOU make a difference

One of my favorites from one of my Favorite Stories: The WorryBug! (P.S. good for adults too 😉)

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

Yes!

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

As adults we can choose to see children AS THEY ARE… not as we wish/want/need them to be 🧠🩵

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

GREAT question… Technology is so helpful and educational and hey, we aren’t going backwards! It is most definitely here to stay 💻 AND how do we teach healthy self discipline so our outside time is not compromised? ☀️

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

Be an adult who knows/learns brain development and the WHY behind big feelings and behaviors

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

You know it when you see and feel it…

[Sonya Richardson, LPC, RPT @SonyaRT1]

Let’s use ALL the tools and learn a new one maybe!
