Good afternoon. I provide a lot of support for children aged 8-12 (my favorite age group). I sometimes get questions from parents wondering why we spent part of the session playing Uno or Concentration. Many also ask why we aren’t “talking and processing more”. I try to explain how therapy with children is different than with adults. Many also want more immediate success or results. How do you all set the expectations with family early on when it comes what to expect with child therapy?

These are some newly released photos showing some extreme tree damage from this tornado. This appears to show more evidence that this tornado was EF-5 status at some point, as was likely the case with most major tornadoes that day.

I’m over 40 now and over the past month I’ve played on average 5-6 days per week. My sessions last 2-3 hours normally. I feel like I’m fatigued now when I play and even my outside shots are coming up short. I was wondering how you all prevented basketball fatigue? I was thinking of only playing 2-3 days per week with no back to backs, or still playing frequently but limiting my time on the court to 60-90 minutes. How do you older players manage staying fresh?
