It's finally getting warmer out and time to hit the water!! Water play has many benefits for kids. If you take your kids to the pool or just play in water outside, you are working on the following skills: * Building balance and strength by allowing different positioning and resistance from water... * Improving coordination by engaging core and learning how to move body through water * Adding interactions with other children to build communication and social skills * Giving opportunities to explore and learn in a different setting.

Another great story for #FeelGoodFriday. Greta Thunburg is a teen who is nominated for a Nobel Prize for her environmental advocacy. And she has Autism :) Our societies need to change, and we need people who think outside the box and we need to start taking care of each other. And embrace our differences. http://kerrymagro.com/teen-advocate-with-autism-nominated/
