🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Did you know dogs can be amazing developmental partners for toddlers? Petting a dog builds fine motor skills and sensory awareness, talking to (and about) a furry friend boosts language development, and learning to be gentle teaches emotional regulation and empathy. Plus, walking alongside a dog supports balance and gross motor coordination!

However your family celebrates today, we're giving a big paws-up to our four-legged friends. 🐶

Toy Tip: Open-Ended Play!

Not all toys are created equal! Open-ended toys — like magnetic blocks, wooden blocks, and stacking cups — have no "right" way to play. That's the magic! They grow with your child and can become a tower one day, a spaceship the next.

Why we love them:
✨ Builds fine motor skills
✨ Encourages problem-solving & creativity
✨ Supports language development as kids describe what they're building
✨ No batteries, no one "correct" outcome — just imagination

Did you know 'typical' development at 6 months covers a wide range? Some babies sit independently by 5 months, others closer to 7 — both are within normal limits.

Comparing your baby to another isn't a fair measure. If something feels off to you, though, trust that instinct — early intervention is most effective the sooner it starts.

Kids Who Count provides NO-COST evaluations in your home for those living within the Nebo School District boundaries. Just fill out the REFER MY CHILD form on our website at KidsWhoCount.org.

📖 What to Read Wednesday: "Owl Babies" by Martin Waddell

When Mama Owl leaves the nest, her three babies feel it immediately — the worry, the waiting, the "I want my mommy" of it all. Sound familiar?

This sweet story is a great tool for talking with little ones about change and separation — whether it's a new daycare drop-off, a parent traveling, or just big feelings about being apart. Reading books like this together gives kids language for emotions they're already having, and reminds them (and us!) that reunions come.

Back-to-school season isn't just for the big kids!

Even though Kids Who Count serves littles from birth to 3, this time of year is a great reminder that transitions and routines matter for the youngest members of the family too — especially if there are older siblings heading back to school.

A few tips to help your little one adjust:

🔹 Talk through the new routine ahead of time — even toddlers pick up on schedule changes

🔹 Practice following simple directions ("put your shoes on," "grab your cup") to build independence

🔹 If separation anxiety pops up (drop-off tears, clinginess), stay calm and consistent — a quick, predictable goodbye routine helps more than a long one

Structure and routine help kids feel secure, even the tiniest ones.
