💦 Water Week at KBS! ☀️🌭

Water Week is officially in full swing at Kendall Behavioral Solutions, and it’s safe to say it’s one of our clients’ favorite weeks of the summer… and maybe our therapists’ too! 💙

From racing down water slides and splashing with friends to cooling off in the pools, our clients had an unforgettable day filled with fun. We even wrapped it all up with a cookout, 🌭 giving everyone a chance to relax, enjoy lunch together, and continue building friendships outside of structured activities.

While it looks like one big summer celebration, every activity is intentionally designed to help our clients practice important social and life skills, including:
💦 Taking turns
🤝 Cooperative play
🗣️ Communication
🎉 Celebrating others
⏳ Waiting patiently
💙 Building friendships
🌟 Flexibility and teamwork

Learning doesn’t always happen around a table. Sometimes the biggest growth happens while making memories, sharing laughs, and enjoying experiences together.

A huge thank you to our incredible KBS team for making Water Week such a special experience for our clients. We can’t wait to do it all again next year! ☀️🌊

💦☀️ Summer therapy goals never looked so good! ☀️💦

Who says therapy can’t happen in the pool?

Our summer groups are all about getting kids active, engaged, and connected with one another. While splashing, laughing, and having fun, our clients are also practicing important skills like communication, social interaction, turn-taking, teamwork, flexibility, and building friendships.

Some of the best learning happens when children are having so much fun they don’t even realize they’re working on goals!

At KBS, we love creating opportunities for kids to step away from screens, enjoy the outdoors, make meaningful connections, and create memories that will last long after summer ends.

🌞 Building friendships
💙 Strengthening social skills
🏊 Encouraging active play
🌱 Creating meaningful experiences

Now that’s what we call a successful summer therapy session!

💙✨ KBS Harrison Social Skills Groups ✨💙

This week, our Harrison County groups focused on some of the most important social skills children can develop:

🤝 Making Friends
👂 Active Body Listening
💬 Meaningful Conversations
🎲 Sharing and Taking Turns
❤️ Identifying the Qualities of a Good Friend

Through cooperative games, group discussions, creative activities, and teamwork challenges, participants practiced how to join conversations, listen to others, share ideas, show kindness, and build lasting friendships. Together, they created a “Recipe for Friendship,” identifying the ingredients that help friendships grow—kindness, honesty, sharing, encouragement, and having fun together.

While every activity was meaningful, the best moment of the week came from a parent who shared:

💙 “Mom, I made my first friend.” 💙

Those are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

At KBS, we know that friendships build confidence, belonging, and lifelong social skills. Watching our participants connect with peers, gain confidence, and experience the joy of friendship is truly priceless.

We are so proud of each child for stepping outside their comfort zone, practicing new skills, and supporting one another along the way.

☀️🌱 This Week in KBS Social Skills Groups! 🌱☀️

What a fun-filled week of learning, movement, creativity, and discovery!

Our groups enjoyed:
🧘 Yoga and mindfulness activities to practice self-regulation and body awareness
🎨 Bubble painting masterpieces that combined creativity with sensory exploration
👣 Sensory pathways and obstacle activities that challenged balance, coordination, and problem-solving skills
🌸 Planting flowers and learning how to care for living things through hands-on gardening experiences

One of the highlights of the week was checking on something our older gardening group planted last year. The students were excited to see beautiful sunflowers return and bloom, providing a wonderful lesson in patience, responsibility, and growth. 🌻

At KBS, we love creating opportunities for children of all ages to build social connections, practice communication, strengthen motor skills, and experience success through engaging, meaningful activities.

We can’t wait to see what next week brings! 💙

💜 What an incredible day at the first-ever Pamper & Play! 💜

Today, our KBS team was honored to volunteer alongside an amazing group of community partners to help create a day focused on something so important—supporting caregivers.

While parents and caregivers enjoyed opportunities to relax, recharge, and focus on themselves through massages, hair and nail services, painting, yoga, Reiki, and more, children spent the day making memories through tie-dye, flower planting, sensory activities, crafts, games, and play.

A heartfelt thank you to Family & Children First Council and Stacie for bringing this vision to life. So many families spend every day caring for others and rarely get a chance to take a break. This event provided a space where parents could feel cared for while knowing their children were having fun in a safe, welcoming environment.

We loved every minute of watching children smile, create, explore, and connect while their caregivers enjoyed some well-deserved self-care.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, participated, and helped make the first Pamper & Play a success. We are grateful to have been part of such a meaningful day for local families. 💜

Planting with Purpose: A Family Garden Experience

Join us at Pathways for Inclusion Family Resource Center on June 20th from 4:30–5:30 PM for a hands-on family activity designed to celebrate creativity, growth, and connection!

Families will choose from a variety of colorful flowers and personalize their own planter by painting and decorating a flower pot together. Once the masterpiece is complete, children—alongside their parents or caregivers—will plant their flower to take home and continue caring for it as it grows.

This engaging, sensory-friendly experience encourages creativity, fine motor development, and meaningful family bonding, while also giving each child a living reminder of growth and nurturing they can watch bloom over time.

All materials will be provided. Just bring your creativity and get ready to get a little messy!
