Drawing is part of my initial exam with kiddos. I show them the shape for 5 seconds then turn the card around. The shapes get harder by either having more detail or object rotation. I use this to see how they hold the pen, how they organise the drawings on the page and if they can draw to their age. It also makes for a very visual feedback to see Improvement when comparing the first to the follow up testing. (The fireworks pen just adds a touch of magic and fun. Mostly for me. But the kids seem to enjoy it too)

A unique service provided in my office is the Interactive Metronome we use with neuro-divergent kids. I finally found a way to share a demonostration video with you! I am NDIS registered for anyone interested in adding chiropractic to their support therapies. Any questions, just ask!

re-sharing something Maggie Dent shared about early communication skills. What I love most about this article is all the suggestions create connection between parent and child while engaging in a fun and useful activity. No device or screen suggestion in sight. 🥰

These are some great posters with developmental timelines for easy reference. It is also important to observe symmetrical movements through the milestones. Bub should be able to roll over both shoulders, have both knees and hands on the floor when crawling and pushing with both toes when commando crawling. If you notice asymmetry in their movements, chiropractic may help bring their body back into balance. Call or email to get more information or book an initial assessment.

When was the last time you danced like nobody was watching, (even though they were) and laughed until you cried? If it's been awhile, hopefully our silliness can lighten your day and bring you some cheer. Happy Monday!

Kids tend to be amazing at living in the Imagination. Us adults though, well, we kinda suck at it. By creating new stories, we are engaging our right brains. By listening to the story, our kids are engaging their right brain to make pictures in their mind that match the story. It's a win-win! And perhaps a novel way to start the calming journey to bedtime and sleep. To help get you started use the three photos below to create a sensory filled adventure like none you've been on before.

Although I love all the ways to engage the brain and bring balance and coordination to the networks in there, a strong foundation is required for longlasting brain and body function.

Yes!! Today it is raining here in Tassie. When was the last time you and your kids jumped in the puddles? Or for those on a rural property, made footprints in the mud?

I love my job as a chiropractor and I love seeing the results people get with chiropractic care. I also love that other people LOVE research and are working hard to help us have a better understanding of how the chiropractic adjustment affect bodies and brains. Enjoy this video.

Heading into the weekend, here's a Right Brain activity to balance the left brain's work week of details and data points. Instead of reading the words, say the colour the word is written in. Harder? I think so!!
