Dear Squish,

We want to share how proud we are of the wonderful person you are becoming, especially as you learn to take on real, meaningful tasks that help you grow stronger and more independent every day.

Being capable isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about trying new things with an open mind—whether that’s cooking a simple meal, building something with your own hands, or learning how to manage your own little budget. Each time you practice, explore, and keep going, you’re building skills that not only help you take care of yourself but also show how much you care about those around you.

Every day brings a chance to learn and grow through activities designed just for you—things that fit who you are and what you can handle right now. Whether it’s helping prepare a snack, creating a small project, or figuring out how to save and spend your pocket money wisely, these moments are steps toward confidence and valuable life skills.

We believe in you completely, and are here cheering you on as you keep trying, learning, and enjoying every moment. What new skill would you like to explore this week? Let’s pick something exciting that makes you feel strong, proud, and happy!

With all our love,
Mom and Dad
