5 Reasons That We’re Thankful For This Past Year 1080 1080 PTN Chicago

Can you believe that it’s already November? We sure can’t! Though it’s crazy to think that 2021 is quickly coming to a close, we love this time of year. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it gives us the chance to express our gratitude to all of the people who mean so much to us – our PTN families, kids, and therapists!

This past year has been so challenging. We’ve all had to make adjustments and adapt to this new way of life, and our PTN family has been a blessing through it all. No matter what obstacles have come our way, we still have so many reasons to be thankful and know that we can always count on all of our PTN families, kids, and therapists.

To continue our month of gratitude, we wanted to take this time to share 5 reasons that we’re thankful for this past year. Hint: One of the reasons has to do with everyone who is a part of our amazing PTN family!

1. We Got to Work With Amazing Children That Inspire Us: We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with each one of our PTN children this past year. It is such a privilege to help them work on their therapy skills and watch them grow. Our PTN kiddos are so inspiring and are the reason that we love what we do. Thank you, PTN kids!

2. Getting Support From Our PTN Families: Another reason that we’re thankful for this past year is the support we’ve received from our PTN families. You always welcome us into your homes with open arms and are committed to working with us to help your incredible children with their therapy. We honestly couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you!

3. Our PTN Team is Closer Than Ever Before: This past year has also allowed our PTN team to grow closer than ever before. Having to conduct therapy sessions in-person and online has been an adjustment, but our team has worked extremely hard as a team to make sure that we can offer your kiddos a wonderful therapy experience. The support that our team shows one another is something special, and we are so grateful for that. Thank you, PTN team!

4. This Past Year Taught Us to Be Innovative: In the past, we’ve only offered in-person therapy. But, due to the coronavirus, our online telehealth program is in full swing.  Though this was an adjustment at first, it has allowed us to expand our services and continue to provide therapeutic support throughout the pandemic. 

5. It Showed Us the Importance of Working Together: The final reason that we are thankful for this past year is that it showed us the importance of working together. Helping each kiddo grow is a team effort, and it can only be achieved if our PTN families, kids, and therapists work together. Working as a team makes it possible to help each child develop their skills and grow, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to work together with every one of you!

Be sure to keep an eye on our social media (Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest) all month long as we continue to express our gratitude to all of you! We’ll also be sharing helpful tips, activities, resources, and more! As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us at any time to discuss if your child would benefit from pediatric therapy. Our team is here to support both you and your child in any way that we can.

An Attitude of Gratitude Amidst 2020’s Challenges
An Attitude of Gratitude Amidst 2020’s Challenges 1080 1080 PTN Chicago

2020 has been a year of extreme highs and lows for most of us. For the first time in our lives, we’ve had to navigate a global pandemic that, even now, remains unstable. We’ve seen uncertainty every which way we’ve looked. From dear friends and family members being hospitalized due to Covid, to the small businesses we frequent having to close their doors. Now, we’re struggling to figure out schooling and what the rest of the year will look like as flu season nears. What will 2021 look like?

Perhaps the hardest part is being steadfast for our children. Our kids count on us to have everything under control, to provide them with a deep sense of security, and to show them by example that “everything is OK.”  Even when it’s not.  We’ve seen so many of our families bravely take on this pandemic and make dramatic changes almost overnight.  As if being the parent of a special needs child isn’t challenging enough, we’ve had to throw into the mix virtual therapy, completely new routines, and an entirely new way of living life.

The PTN team deeply empathizes with the challenges our parents and families have had to navigate.  We know this time has not been easy.  We know that each of you are trying your very best when the world seems like it is at its very worst.  We know that you’re tired, losing sleep, emotionally exhausted, and looking for hope anywhere you can find it.  We know this because we are navigating challenges too… but our plan is to navigate every obstacle with you!  

One way in which we hope to overcome the struggles of 2020 is by cultivating an attitude of gratitude.  We want to find the light wherever we can and we want you to know that our team experiences so much joy and sees so much light every time we work with you and your children.  Thank you!

“It’s not happiness that brings us gratitude, it’s gratitude that brings us happiness.” – Unknown

These words are powerful and they are true.  With this message in mind, and the hope of bringing those who mean the most to us a moment of joy, we want to take this time to express our deep gratitude:

Thank you PTN Kids!

First and foremost, we are grateful during this holiday season to be able to continue working with such incredible children. The positive outlook and hard work they bring each and every day is inspiring, and we are so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of their growth.  We are so proud of how they have overcome so much during this past year and believe they are the epitome of resilience.  

Thank You PTN Parents: We Could Not Do This Without You!

Not only are our PTN kids special to us, but our PTN families are equally as important. We couldn’t do our job without your support.  We truly value the relationships we have with you as we work toward shared goals.  We know these times have been difficult and we know you may feel like the world is on your shoulders.  We want you to know we recognize all the sacrifices you’ve made and think the world of you.  

Thank You to Our Incredible Staff!

Our PTN therapists are truly the best! Thank you for coming together as a team to support one another as you have had to learn how to navigate entirely new situations, like providing therapy virtually or in masks and face shields.  Your willingness to adapt and your desire to serve children is awe-inspiring.  Know that you’ve had such an impact on the lives of so many children and your dedication has not gone unnoticed!

Thank You to Family & Friends!

We want to say thank you to our own family members and friends for helping us get through 2020.  Your support and guidance have been invaluable (even if over FaceTime).  Thank you to our immediate family members for sharing your space with us as we have had to adjust to working and learning from home together.  We feel so lucky to have you in our lives!

As we move toward the end of the year, we want to assure you that we will continue to do our very best to provide not only exceptional care to every child and family we work with, but also emotional support.  We will get through this together!
