Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

This team shows up with heart, humour, dedication and so much love for the families we support (and for each other).

Move Play Grow is what it is because of the people in this photo (including Resonate Holistic)!

So a shout out to the team that makes the magic happen, every single day.

Love you all, truly - Maria

When a child is overwhelmed, their brain goes into a bottom-up state, meaning their body is reacting faster than their thinking brain can keep up.

This is why “use your words” doesn’t land.

It’s not that your child won’t speak.

In that moment, they can’t.

Support the body first, the words return once they feel safe.

If your child gets overwhelmed at Christmas events, they’re not being dramatic, rude, or difficult. Their nervous system is under pressure.
Big crowds, loud environments, new faces, unpredictable routines, late nights… it’s a lot for little bodies to manage.

And when overwhelm shows up, the worst thing we can do is add more pressure.

Here’s what actually helps:

Reduce sensory and environmental load.  Look for quieter corners, limit noise, and step outside when needed.

Give them a safe exit plan. Let them know they’re allowed to take breaks or leave early if they need to reset.

Don’t force interactions, model them instead. Warm, low-pressure greetings and gentle invitations build confidence far more than demands.

Prepare them ahead of time.
 Show who will be there, what the event might look like and when breaks will happen.

Stay regulated yourself. Your calm presence is the anchor they rely on when everything feels big and loud.

Supporting your child during the holidays isn’t “giving in.” It’s meeting them where they’re at and helping them feel safe in environments that can be overwhelming.

Does your child seem to be constantly on the move? 

There’s usually a reason. When children seek out spinning, climbing, or jumping, their body is craving vestibular and proprioceptive input (the building blocks for focus, regulation and coordination).

Movement isn’t a distraction from learning, it’s the foundation for it.

What we do

Move Play Grow OT was developed in 2017 in response to the growing need for private occupational therapy services in Sydney’s South-West due to the development of various new suburbs within the MacArthur region.

Move Play Grow OT provides paediatric occupational therapy services to children aged 0-18 years old who present with difficulties in the following areas:


  • Sensory integration

  • Gross motor skills, strength and co-ordination
