\u201cWhen you have a child with special needs, you might hear the words: limitations, impairments, disabilities, delays or challenges. And in the beginning you might think, What does this mean for my child? What does the future hold?<\/em> While it may be easier to frame your child\u2019s potential within these limitations provided by doctors or schools, I believe it\u2019s better to focus on one word: potential<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Potential means possibilities. Potential means progress. Potential means we as parents can believe in our child more than anyone else. Potential means opportunities to succeed, to make goals and help our child take steps to reach them.\u201d (The Word That\u2019s Important to Focus on as a Special Needs Parent<\/em>\u00a0by Kera Washburn)<\/p>\n

I found the above article while on Twitter yesterday; and it made me think of the GiGi\u2019s Playhouse BEST OF ALL Guide. In GiGi\u2019s Playhouse lingo, reaching potential=BEST OF ALL. GiGi\u2019s Playhouse is all about BEST OF ALL, which means\u00a0striving for being the best one can be at any one moment. We encourage independence and setting high expectations for your child. Expect miracles and achievements! \u00a0 GiGi\u2019s is about unleashing each individual\u2019s potential and we are here to help your child get there.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

best of all (noun)\\best of all\\ is continual, measurable, celebrated and it never ends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a daily challenge to do a little better than you did the day before and it\u2019s always celebrated. What BEST OF ALL\u00a0could look like: standing one second longer, reading one more word, learning just one new number, taking one more step. We always strive for that next accomplishment, that next level of BEST OF ALL!<\/p>\n

Our February calendar<\/a>\u00a0has wonderful educational, therapy-based, social (and FREE) programming. Come, and we can be our BEST OF ALL together!<\/p>\n
