🌸 Using Deodorant 🌸
Did you know that applying deodorant isn’t just part of self-care, but also a skill that uses coordination, motor planning, sensory awareness, and independence? 🙌

Occupational Therapy can support children and teens to build confidence with daily hygiene routines like deodorant use; breaking tasks into steps, working on hand strength, and supporting sensory preferences.

Fresh, confident, and independent; that’s a win all round! 💪✨

🚽 Toilet Training Tips from OT! 🌟
Toilet training isn’t just about using the potty! it’s a big developmental step that involves body awareness, motor planning, sensory processing, and independence skills. Every child learns at their own pace, and that's okay! 👶✨
As OTs, we support families with strategies that build confidence, routine, and success - one small step at a time. 💪🧻

🍊 Picky eating is more common than you think! 🍉
Many kids go through phases of refusing certain foods, but sometimes picky eating is about more than just “being fussy.” It can be related to sensory sensitivities, routines, or even developmental skills.

🥦 Remember: Patience, exposure, and a little creativity go a long way!

We will be sharing ideas, tips and information regarding Picky Eating.

Keeping it simple, playing should be supported and encouraged. As we grow, our 'play' develops;
✅ In early childhood (0–7 years), play is often imaginative, physical, and exploratory.
✅ In middle childhood (7–12 years), play includes more rules, teamwork, and skill-building (like sports or games).
✅ Teens (13–18 years) still engage in “play” through hobbies, sports, video games, creative activities, and social interactions — they just may not call it play.
✅ Even adults benefit from playful activities, though we often label them as “leisure” or “recreation.”

👉 In occupational therapy, we see play as a lifelong, meaningful occupation — it just changes form across the lifespan.

When was the last time you skipped a rope?
Skipping is a great exercise which has so many benefits for people of all ages!
It improves heart health, coordination and balance, reduces stress and anxiety! If you do it with a friend, your siblings or your kids, it encourages social engagement.
It's a high calorie burning exercise, which improves agility, muscle strength and helps strengthen bones. By doing exercise, it increases energy levels, improves focus and concentration and has mental benefits.

Function Friday - Doing Your Hair!
When doing your hair, a few more core occupational therapy (OT) skills come into play (in addition to the above). They are:

🌸Motor Planning – Planning and sequencing the steps involved in styling your hair.
🌻Range of Motion – Reaching over your head while styling.
💮Visual Perception – Judging parting lines, symmetry, or using a mirror effectively.
🌹Tactile Discrimination – Feeling the texture of hair or tools to adjust pressure and grip.
🌷Sensory Processing – Managing reactions to smells, product textures, or hair dryers.
🌼Executive Functioning – Organizing steps, timing, and adjusting strategies if needed.
🌵Attention and Focus – Staying concentrated to complete the hairstyle.
🌾Postural Control and Balance – Maintaining an upright seated or standing position while doing your hair.
These OT-related skills show how self-care tasks like doing your hair involve complex coordination between the brain and body.
