![đ Who says beaches are only for summer? Ontarioâs beaches in the fall are just as magical - and often *free*! đ
Cooler temps mean fewer crowds, making it the perfect time for kids to explore the sand, splash in shallow water, and take in all the new textures, sounds, and smells. đ The crunch of leaves, the sound of waves, and the feel of cool sand offer incredible **sensory experiences** - calming for some kids, energizing for others.
So pack a cozy sweater, a thermos of hot chocolate, and head to your local beach. The sensory play opportunities are endless and the memories will be, too. đ§Ą

![â âAll kids develop at the same pace.â

Reality check: every childâs brain and body follow their *own* timeline.
When schools ignore developmental differences, kids get labeled as âbehindâ or âadvancedâ â when really, theyâre just being human. đą
Itâs time school boards stopped treating kids like carbon copies and started respecting how growth *actually* works. đ§ â¨
