Is your child “just playing”? 🎨🧸
From a paediatric OT’s point of view — that’s where real development is happening. 💡
Play isn’t a break from learning — it is learning.
It’s how children build motor skills, emotional regulation, language, and even confidence.
But here’s the thing:
👉 If your child avoids play, becomes frustrated easily, or seems “lost” during play, it could be a sign they need extra support.
That’s where OT comes in — to make sure every child has the skills and confidence to explore, create, and grow through play. 💛
💾 Save this post as a reminder:
When your child is playing, they’re doing their most important work.

Wondering how to really help your child make faster progress in occupational therapy? 🧠💡
It’s not just about what happens in the clinic — what you do at home matters just as much (if not more!). In this post, we’re breaking down 3 simple but powerful ways you can support your child’s development outside of sessions. 🏡✨
From being involved in the process, to keeping up with appointments, to just 10 minutes of home practice a day — these small steps add up to big wins. 💪
💬 Tell us in the comments:
Which of these do you already do? Which one are you going to try this week?

✨ Not all challenging behaviours are what they seem…
When a child feels overwhelmed, their brain may shift into survival mode — and that can look like FIGHT, FLIGHT, FREEZE or FAWN. 💥🏃‍♀️🧊🙇‍♀️
These aren’t “bad” behaviours. They’re nervous system responses to stress, fear, or dysregulation — and they often show up in everyday situations at home, school, or therapy.
💡 As adults, we can shift our perspective:
Instead of “What’s wrong with this child?”
Ask: “What’s happening for this child’s nervous system?”
Swipe through to learn the signs of each response, and how we can support kids with empathy, safety, and connection. 💛
