Whoever said “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”has not seen this before and after from one of my highschool students. So proud of his achievement-he just sat his first assessment without a scribe 🌟

Adequate finger and hand strength is a crucial foundation for fine motor skill development and participation in activities such as handwriting, dressing, using cutlery and play. This hot weather has given us a good excuse to take it outside and bring out the water play this week.

So lucky to have the opportunity to do a live workout and meet Joe Wicks The body coach at Taronga zoo today. In 2020 Joe launched PE With Joe - a daily live workout on his YouTube channel - to help kids and families keep moving and feel happier during the pandemic. He has continued his mission of helping kids of all ages, sizes and ability develop a love of exercise and improve their mental health along the way with free online workouts and 5 minute moves just perfect for a brain break. What a legend !!

One of the best things we can do to support our children’s emotional well-being, behaviour, concentration and learning is ensure they are getting enough sleep. With that in mind, I have attached an annual reminder - sleep guidelines by age. 😴

Sleep needs changes as you age. Here are sleep recommendations by age.

Ok it is time to accept that this term life is really happening!! Hopefully by now classes are settled, days/times of extra curricular activities are cemented and we are aware of homework and therapy expectations. We have all the information we need to start creating visual timetables and schedules for our children. There are so many benefits to visual schedules to support routines including improved time management, increased independence and improved emotional regulation and anxiety management. The best news is they don’t need to be complicated - you can purchase ready made boards or make your own using paper, pegs, cardboard, whiteboards - whatever works for you and your family. Happy scheduling!

This week is OT WEEK 2022 and today is World Occupational Therapy Day. Shout out to all my OT colleagues who have supported, taught and inspired me and most importantly to my amazing clients and their families with whom I have the privilege of working with everyday. I feel very fortunate to be an OT and work with children to help them reach their potential and do the things they want and need to do. This is what OT means to me 💛
