A Note from Our VP of Therapy Operations, Jamie Bailey
Pediatrics Plus Team Members,
As the new school year approaches, August brings a time of reflection and resetting. In my own family, this is a time of new school supplies, new backpacks, and anticipation of new friendships in new classes As a parent, this is the time that I realize children really do grow up way too fast as they enter new stages in life preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and college Each milestone brings so much energy and momentum that propel us forward into the next adventure.
At Pediatrics Plus, each school year transition brings goodbyes for children ready for their next adventure of school We reflect on each step of progress since first meeting the child and family through outpatient services or developmental preschool…first steps, first words, first friends, and many, many more milestones achieved because of you Celebrate the impact you made on a child’s life at Pediatrics Plus! Remember the children you have served and where they are today because of you!
As we say goodbye to the graduates, we also anticipate meeting new children. The classrooms sparkle with new decorations, new pictures, and new shiny faces New connections with families and team members strengthen the Pediatrics Plus family. We meet each child where they are in development, seeing the potential of where they can go in the coming year Each child’s team collaborates to determine how to support the child so we can achieve the mission of empowering children to conquer their world. It takes each and every one of us in support of the child and their family to achieve this mission
We are so excited to see the 2024-2025 school year kick off! Thank you for being a part of Pediatrics Plus! Thank you for impacting the lives of so many children and their families! You were born for a time such as this!

We would like to challenge our team members to live in the moment but with a perspective pointing forward. We want to continue to dream small in each and every opportunity that we have serving children and families, but we want to do it with “Someday” in mind.
At Pediatrics Plus, our vision of empowering children to conquer their world is accomplished day in and day out by our team members. Without you – we cannot accomplish this vision. Pediatrics Plus is able to serve others because of one incredible resource - our people. We don’t just want to point our eyes toward “Someday” for our children and families, we want to challenge you to think about your personal “Someday” dreams.

PARENTING TIPS FROM OUR RISE THERAPISTS
MONITOR YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Admit, apologize and correct when you make a mistake.
Do not hold your child to a higher behavioral standard than you hold yourself to
Outline clear expectations and hold your child accountable Do what you say you are going to do!
BE PATIENT
Choose praise over punishment. Reminder, even adults work for a reward.
Remember change doesn’t happen over night. Stay consistent and give changes time to work.
If you feel yourself reaching a breaking point, walk away. Calm down and come back later.
CHANGE THE WAY YOU LISTEN
Talk to your child and ask developmentally appropriate questions about what they need from you
Listen with full attention and not to respond or give advice
