πŸŽ‰ New Year fun fact for families
Children often need more breaks than adults, especially during busy or exciting times. Their bodies and emotions work hard to keep up.

Taking breaks is not giving up. It is how children recharge and feel safe. πŸ’›

At Melville OT, we help families understand what their child is communicating and how to support them with kindness and confidence as the new year begins. 🌈

As the year winds down, supporting body awareness can help children feel more confident and secure. Activities that involve pushing, pulling, or carrying give helpful feedback to the body and support regulation.

✨ Tip: Try carrying groceries, wall push-ups, or animal walks at home.

At Melville OT, we use movement and play to help children feel strong, organised, and ready for everyday activities.
