Welcome back to Term 2 👋 | OT-Recommended Games
We’re excited to be back in the clinic and ready for another term of learning, movement and fun.

To kick things off, we’re sharing some OT-recommended SMART games. These are great for building a range of skills, and we also love the travel-size versions for long car rides, waiting rooms, family dinners, or any time you want a screen-free activity on hand.

These games can help support:
• Visual perception
• Problem solving
• Spatial awareness
• Motor planning
• Attention and focus
• Resilience

They’re especially helpful because they’re single-player, screen-free activities that increase in difficulty, helping children build confidence as they go.

Term 2 is underway — and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Struggling with homework time?

If your child is constantly moving, distracted, or finding it hard to settle, their body might be seeking more sensory input.

Try deep pressure activities before homework

Deep pressure can help calm the nervous system, improve focus, and support your child to feel more regulated and ready to learn.

Simple ideas for your child to try:
✨ Carry a beanbag on shoulders or head
✨ Use a Theraband on chair legs to kick against
✨ Try doing homework under a beanbag
✨ Play with Theraputty (pinch, roll, pull) before starting
✨ Try animal walks (bear, crab, army crawl)
✨ Climb on playground equipment before homework
✨ Use a stress ball or squeeze toy during seated tasks
✨ Try the “hot dog” blanket roll or “sandwich” cushion squeezes
✨ Gently roll a ball or bolster over your child
✨ Play push-pull games like Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Small changes can make a big difference.

👉 If your child needs extra support, our OTs are here to help.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible women of Sydney Kids OT!

Every day, our therapists support children and families with compassion, expertise and genuine care. From building confidence and independence, to celebrating the small wins that lead to big progress, their work makes a lasting difference in our community.

We asked a few of our team what inspires them, what they’ve learned along the way, and the advice they’d give to the next generation of women in allied health. Their answers are a beautiful reflection of what makes this profession so special.

Happy International Women’s Day to the women who support, empower and advocate for children and families every single day.

Welcome Back to Term 1 💛🎒

The first week of school can bring big energy — and big tiredness.

If your child is extra wiggly, emotional, or totally wiped after school, that’s completely normal. New routines and busy days take a lot out of growing bodies.

After-school support this week:

✨ Move first to get the wiggles out

✨ Then add calming exercises

✨ Keep afternoons simple

Swipe for a few simple movement and calming activities to support your child after school.

📱 New social media laws & your child: how to support them

With the new laws coming into effect, many children and teens are feeling worried about what this means for how they connect with friends and express themselves online.

Here are some practical ways you can support them:

* Talk about the “why”
Explain that the laws are there to help keep them safe, not to punish them.
* Explore other ways to connect
Brainstorm together how they can stay in touch with friends – group chats, gaming with friends you know, phone calls, or in-person catch-ups.
* Create a safe space for big feelings
Let them know it’s okay to feel upset, angry or left out. Listen first, validate their feelings, and problem-solve together.
* Focus on what they can still do online
Help them see what apps, games or websites they can still use safely, and set these up together.
* Be clear about parental controls
Explain what will change on their devices (e.g. screen time limits, app restrictions) so it doesn’t feel like a “surprise punishment”.
* Help them protect what matters to them
👉 Download important photos, videos or creative projects
👉 Check their contact details (especially birthday) so they can easily regain access once they turn 16 without losing content.
* Check in regularly
Keep revisiting the conversation – their feelings and needs might change over time as the laws roll out.

At Sydney Kids OT, we know change can be especially hard for neurodivergent kids and teens. Gentle preparation, predictable routines and open conversations can make a big difference. 💛
