Happy Friday, everyone! ☀️

If you ever want a brutal, unfiltered reality check, just spend 10 minutes working with kids. They will keep you incredibly humble!

During a home visit today, a little friend gave me this absolute gem:

💬 “You are bothering me right now. Your eyelashes are not long enough for me. You need to leave my house.” 😂

Tough crowd! I guess my clinical skills take a back seat to my lash length during the summer.

On a serious note, I love the honesty, personality, and fierce boundaries (even the sassy ones!) that my clients show me every day.

Wishing you all a weekend full of laughter! ☺️

The days are short, but the moments are big!

Amidst the busy routines, don't forget to pause and just be with your little ones. Go splash in puddles, dance in the rain, and embrace the messy, joyful chaos of childhood. 🌧️💃

Speaking of busy seasons, Annika is currently wrapping up a wonderful school year with the students and families at Montevideo Public Schools! 🎒📚

As we look ahead to summer, we are already hard at work organizing our upcoming calendar here at Discover Your Sisu Therapy Services. Be on the lookout soon, as we will be contacting individuals directly to get everyone set up for summer scheduling!! 🗓️☀️

We can't wait to partner with you for a bright, supportive, and fun season ahead. 🌱✨

I know that today isn’t always a "one-size-fits-all" kind of day. While the world is full of flowers and celebration, I know that for many of you, this day can feel a bit more complicated.

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge wherever you are today:

• To those of you in the middle of it all: Balancing the schedules, the snacks, the tantrums, and the magic. It’s exhausting and beautiful work, and you’re doing a great job even on the days you don't feel like you are.

• To those whose hearts are heavy: If you’re missing your own mom today, or if you’re a mother carrying the quiet weight of a loss, I am thinking of you. I see the strength it takes just to move through the day.

• To those who are still waiting: For the women navigating the hard road of infertility and/or loss, and those who are longing to be mothers—your journey matters, and I see your courage.

• To those healing: If today is a reminder of a difficult relationship, or if you’re working hard to be the nurturing person for yourself that you didn't have growing up, I see you.

Mothering comes in so many forms. It’s in the way you show up, the way you care for others, and the way you keep going when things get tough.

Whatever your day looks like, I hope you can find a quiet moment for yourself. Be gentle with your heart today. You’re doing enough, and you are enough.

With love and support,

Annika 🤍

Childhood isn’t a program to be downloaded—it’s a path to be walked. 🌲✨

In a world full of pings, swipes, and endless scrolling, we’re seeing a shift in how our children grow, learn, and react. While technology is a part of our lives, it shouldn’t crowd out the vital "must-haves" of development: exploration, boredom-induced creativity, and real-world connection.

At Discover Your Sisu Therapy Services, we believe in looking at the whole picture. Before we jump to a diagnosis, we look at the environment. Are they getting the "grit" (Sisu) they need through face-to-face interaction? Or is the screen taking over the driver's seat? 🚗

Swipe through ➡️ to see how screen time impacts different ages and how small shifts in your home environment can lead to massive wins in your child’s behavior and focus.

Let’s help our kids find their way back to balance. ⚖️

Happy OT Month!

To celebrate, we are joining the "This is the kid..." trend and following the journey of our very own Annika, Occupational Therapist and Owner of Discover Your Sisu Therapy Services. From a young age, Annika was driven by a purpose to help others and believed that the outdoors holds healing power. She dreamed of becoming an OT and putting family first. Today, she uses that passion to help little hands achieve big things.

Here’s to all the OT practitioners and students out there who dedicate their hearts to helping others live their best lives. Keep doing amazing work.

💙A Day for Awareness and Remembrance 🧩

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, a time to advocate for the acceptance and understanding of everyone on the spectrum. As we wear our blue today, we do so with heavy hearts as we also remember a dear friend and colleague, Kerry Jaspersen. 🕊️

Kerry was a true light in our schools, our church, and our entire community. Annika experienced this firsthand as her own career was shaped by their early collaborations, where she saw Kerry’s tireless dedication in action. Kerry wasn’t just an educator—she was a champion for every child she served, gifted at making everyone feel truly seen and supported.

Kerry lived with a heart for service, always smiling and always caring. We are honored to have known her.

Blessed be her memory. Blessed be the lives touched by ASD. 💙🌈

I’ll be honest: lately, I’ve been feeling the need for a serious mental reset. We talk a lot about self-care in therapy, but practicing it isn't always about quiet meditation—sometimes, it’s about a change of scenery and a little bit of "llama drama." 🦙

My family and I decided to lean into the adventure this weekend with a trip to Carlson’s Lovable Llamas. There is something incredibly grounding about walking a llama; they require you to be present, patient, and—let’s be real—a little bit playful. After spending the morning taking care of our new wooly friends, we capped off the day with a playground, shopping, and visited some local wineries to toast to a day well-spent. 🍷🥰

Why a "Mental Reset" Matters:
• Breaking the Routine: Stepping out of your daily environment helps "unstick" repetitive stress loops.
• Animal Connection: Interacting with animals is proven to lower cortisol levels and increase feelings of calm.
• The Power of Play: Adventure reminds us that we aren't just workers, parents, or partners—we are explorers, too.

This trip was exactly what I needed for my own mental health. It’s a reminder that even when we’re dedicated to helping others find their Sisu (that inner strength and grit), we have to take the time to refill our own tanks first. 💪

A Note to You: What does your "reset" look like? Whether it’s a llama trek, a quiet hike, or just a day of permission to do nothing—make sure you’re carving out that space.

Mother Nature is a tease! Just as we were dreaming of spring, we were gifted another storm. Since the snow is back for the next few days, it’s the perfect time to try an activity we loved earlier this winter: Snow Painting!

We brought the "winter wonderland" inside by filling a wagon with fresh snow to create art with food dye. It’s a great way to work on:

• Fine Motor Skills: Detailing with brushes and steadying those pours.
• Grip & Coordination: Mastering "dump and fill" motions.
• Imaginative Play: I even got a colorful "birthday cake" that made me 16 again! 🎂✨

Not a fan of food dye? No problem! Over the next few days, try using these alternatives to add color to your snow:
• Washable Liquid Watercolors (vibrant and easy to clean!)
• Bath Drops/Fizzy Tints
• Crushed Chalk
• Beet or Berry Juice (for a 100% natural option)

It’s time to grab some snow and start creating!
