Happy Thanksgiving

Believe it or not, there are only a few months left in 2023, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner! We love this time of year as it allows us to express our sincere gratitude to all of our PTN families, kids, and therapists. We truly couldn’t do what we do without each and every one of you and we are so appreciative that we get to work with incredible families who are committed to their children’s growth. You’ve all made our year incredibly special!

To continue with our theme of gratitude during November, we wanted to share some things we are thankful for this year. From our PTN families and kids, to our compassionate team of PTN therapists and more, here are some things that top our gratitude list for 2023:

We’re grateful for…

Our Hardworking PTN Kids: Working with children is not only special, but truly rewarding on so many levels. They work so hard day in and day out to develop their skills and never give up. The resilience and determination children have is unmatched and we love seeing them grow during each therapy session. Thank you, PTN kiddos, for making our job so much fun and for allowing us to help you work on your goals. You inspire all of us more than you know!

Our Supportive PTN Families: We are grateful for our PTN families!  We couldn’t do what we do without you. The love and support that you show your little ones is inspiring! Thank you for welcoming us into your homes with open arms and for helping your children work on developing their skills whether through at-home therapy games and activities, or simply being a source of continual support and cheerleading. 

Our Kind and Compassionate Therapists: Another thing we are grateful for is our wonderful team of therapists. They work so hard each and every day and really enjoy helping your kiddos learn and grow. We know how much our PTN therapists care about helping your children work on developing their skills and we are so thankful that they are a part of our team. Thank you for all that you do, PTN therapists!

The Opportunity to Help Your Little Ones Grow: Our favorite thing in the entire world is helping your little ones learn, grow, and have fun. We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to work with your kiddos and sincerely cherish the time we spend with them during therapy sessions. Thank you for allowing us into your homes and for allowing us to play an active role in the lives of your children.  We cannot wait to work with your little ones throughout the rest of 2023 and beyond.

We are so grateful to work with all of you and appreciate each of our PTN families, kids, and therapists. Thank you for a wonderful 2023!  We look forward to seeing what the future holds. Enjoy spending time with your loved ones this Thanksgiving, and if you have time, feel free to check out these fantastic Thanksgiving-themed therapy activities that your children are sure to love.  

Fun Idea: during the month of November, when you put your child to sleep or have dinner as a family, why not ask them to name one thing they are thankful for that day? The answers may not only delight you, but SURPRISE you.

The year is coming to a close, and 2018 certainly seemed to fly by. As we enter the season of family, of connection, and of cozying up around blazing fires, we wanted to take a moment to thank you all for everything that you’ve done this year.

To the children we work with…

Thank you for your spirit. You show us every day what it means to live a life of joy and courage.

Thank you for your bravery. Whenever we ask you to try something new, to attempt something a little scary or a little uncomfortable, we see the bravery in your eyes and are inspired by it.

Thank you for your persistence. Sometimes you may have to work harder and longer than others, but you never let that slow you down. Your dedication and tenacity could move mountains.

To your parents…

Thank you for your trust. We are so grateful for every opportunity that we have to engage with you and your children. Thank you for putting your faith in us. We truly treasure it.

Thank you for your support. Both the support that you show us and your unending support for your children. You make sacrifices of your time, your energy, and your goals for the sake of your children, and that is an incredibly noble thing.

To your siblings…

Thank you for your patience. It’s not always easy having a brother or sister, but the love that you show for your siblings through your actions and words has such a big impact upon their confidence and wellbeing. Thank you for loving your siblings and supporting them through thick and thin.

Thank you for being a role model. Your siblings watch everything you do, and they learn so much from you. Thank you for everything that you teach your siblings just by being you.

To your whole team…

Thank you to the teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, family friends, occupational therapists, speech therapists, doctors, social workers and others who put their time and heart into helping the amazing children in our network thrive. You are each part of a beautiful web of support and caring that cannot be broken.

And finally, we’d like to thank everyone who works at the Pediatric Therapy Network.  Everyone on our team does such an amazing job and truly cares about what we’re accomplishing together.

We hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gobble gobble!
