Keep connected! Let me know if there is anything you need support with!

Connection doesn’t always begin with a conversation. Often, it begins with a moment of shared joy, rhythm, silliness, or eye contact.

You’ll learn why play regulates the nervous system, how it strengthens attachment bonds, and simple activities parents and therapists can use to build connection through shared experience.
