Love these! I've been building a couple of characters in my mind for a book series for *eventually* and I've done a couple of coloring pages but they don't hold a candle to yours @Mary Nunaley

This is always a hit!

I found some recent pics I could share!

@Mary Nunaley haha, they were called Royal King Fruit Crowns so of course they had to end up on the head!

@Jen Staniforth what a life saver! 🩷

@Mary Nunaley thank you so much! Hi, I'm Brenda with That Makes Sense OT and I wanted to share something that is directly related to the presentation I gave on how movement is the missing piece of emotional regulation. I’ve loved seeing parents start to make that connection in everyday life and one of the biggest things I hope parents take away is that regulation support isn’t just for big emotions — it can make everyday transitions easier too. A parent I’m working with recently shared that potty training started going much more smoothly once they began keeping regulation in mind during the transition to the bathroom and helping their child notice what his body was telling him. This amazing 3 year old began making the connection between feeling wet, recognizing that body signal, and how much better it felt to use the bathroom. It was important to keep the pressure low, because feeling pressured tends to increase both his anxiety and sensory dysregulation. That’s exactly why I love helping parents look at the whole child, rather than focusing only on the task in front of them. Those are the kinds of connections we talk about inside my Skool community, Raising Curious Eaters — how regulation, body awareness, sensory processing, participation, and feeding all fit together.

1. Cook dinner with a 7-year-old sous chef ... I feel like I do this a lot anyway LOL 2. Give up your phone for 24 hours 3. Learn crochet (I used to crochet and even did an activity analysis of it in OT school) 4. Let your child ask an expert one question about you -- I get asked the most random questions by kids all the time! 5. Build something without instructions 6. Your family gets an unexpected free Saturday: make something, cook something, play something, or go somewhere? You mean I can't do them alllllllll? 7. FINAL BOSS: You can keep only one Unplug & Play track for the rest of the Summit: Culinary, Tech, Experts, or Craft & Hobby. Which survives? Oh my, that's a tough one... I think experts because I haven't had a chance to listen to any of them yet!

@Mary Nunaley OK, for today, because I've been feeling very overwhelmed this week, I'm choosing to go somewhere. Today it's running errands for the most part, but also hopefully swinging by the beach for at least a few minutes to clear my mind.
