Saying that our child’s umbrella has a few holes is NOT a judgement. Each of our lives presents us with the opportunities to practice different skills.
As we work through each skill this coming school year, take some time to notice which skills you think your child might not have had a chance to build as consistently.
Incorporating opportunities to practice these skills in your household is a great way to help them reduce the size of the holes in their umbrellas! Listen in with Dr. Jen in the video below or on our Facebook Group to learn more.
