Give your 2.5-year-old chances to do things on their own, like putting on shoes or a coat before heading out. Be patient and allow extra time as they practice these new skills. Celebrate their efforts with encouraging words like, “What a big kid!” to build confidence and independence.

Help your 5-year-old understand the difference between real dangers (like fire, cars, or unsafe objects) and make-believe fears (like monsters under the bed). Use simple drawings or magazine pictures to talk it through together. These conversations build safety awareness while easing fears - helping your child feel both confident and secure. 💜

Every baby deserves the best start in life. As we celebrate “May All Babies Thrive Month” with the @ncitorg , let’s renew our commitment to building a future where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
#HelpMeGrowFL #May4Babies #ChildWellBeing
A year ago, I was navigating an incredibly difficult time in my life. My two young children were referred to Help Me Grow and concerns were identified through developmental screenings. I was overwhelmed and unsure of what the future would look like for my family.
What I didn’t expect was the support I would receive. A care coordinator worked with us every step of the way, even during supervised visits with my children. They shared strategies I could use right away, and they encouraged me as I worked toward stability and healing.
Over time, I saw real changes in my children. My older child is now thriving in VPK, and my younger child has shown so much growth that early concerns are no longer present. Most importantly, we are together again as a family.
Help Me Grow didn’t just connect us to services. They walked alongside us with compassion, consistency, and hope. 💜
