Hey Mama, Yes you…..😳

Have you ever been so busy helping everyone else that you forgot to ask whether it was helping you? 🍃

When Scott and I first started On Track Occupational Therapy & Multisensory Reading, we wanted to help everyone. 🌎

And honestly, we tried.

We stretched ourselves so thin that, by the time COVID arrived, we were exhausted.

When everything came to a screeching halt, we finally had time to breathe. We looked at each other and realized something had to change.

We still wanted to serve families. We just wanted to do it in a way that didn’t leave us running on empty.

Recently, I began working with the wonderful Maria José from Make It Less Scary. During our very first session, she gave me a question that has changed the way I make decisions.

Does this serve me?

Now I ask myself that question before I say yes.

Someone reaches out looking for summer tutoring.

The old Stephanie would have found a way to squeeze one more child into the schedule.

Now I pause.

Does this serve me?

Can I give this family my VERY BEST without depleting myself?

Because I’ve learned that when I’m exhausted, no one gets my best.

Not my clients.
Not my family.
Not Scott.
Not even me.

Maybe this question is for you, too.

When you’re scrolling your phone…

Does this serve me?

When you’re about to say yes to another commitment…

Does this serve me?

When your family is rushing from one activity to the next…

Does this serve me?

There are responsibilities we can’t avoid. I know that. I’m a mom, too.

But there are so many moments where we get to choose.

For me, this one simple question has become a compass.

Today it’s written on a sticky note beside my computer.

Before I answer an email…

Before I say yes…

Before I add one more thing to the calendar…

I read it.

Does this serve me?

Maybe this question will help you too. 💕✨

For this in-person Leafscript 🍃session, we took a short journey through the winding labyrinth and ended up in the fairy garden.

The sad thing was that the fairies were either hiding or hadn’t yet returned from their winter away.❄️

Still, we knew we had to keep our voices low so we wouldn’t scare them off.

Our session was a gentle one.

There was some swinging in the hammock. Enjoying the breeze and the sunshine. Some talking.

Some wondering.

Lots of laughter.

And then the magic happened.✨

This little author and illustrator drew his picture. Together, we worked on the sounds and the words he knew.

It was a beautiful dance of changing who leads and who follows.

A beautiful back-and-forth.

Quiet. Gentle. Fun.

By the end of our session, this young fellow had the first page of his book. And Mom went home with enough ideas to continue Leafscript on her own.

That’s the “secret” here.

Literacy - and how to nurture it in your home - isn’t really a secret at all.

It’s out there for everyone to see and use.

It’s as simple as connecting with your child.

It’s weaving sounds, letters, words, and conversation into your daily rhythm.

It’s taking your child’s interests and gently expanding on them.

But in the end, it’s about connection.

That’s it.

Connect with your child first.

Let your nervous systems settle.

Then let the magic in.✨

That’s Leafscript.

It’s that simple. 🍃
