🌏💛 World Gratitude Day 💛🌏

“The greatest gift a parent can give a child is a heart full of gratitude.”

With school holidays just around the corner, today is the perfect reminder to pause, step out of the hustle and bustle, and make space for gratitude. These little breaks in routine give us the chance to slow down, share special moments, and connect more deeply with our kids.

Ask your child what they’re grateful for, share your own, and notice how even the smallest things - sunshine, laughter, or time together - can fill hearts with joy.

At Sydney Kids OT, we believe gratitude nurtures not only wellbeing but also stronger bonds between parents and children.

What’s one thing you and your child are grateful for today? Share it below—we’d love to hear.

Got questions about Occupational Therapy?

We know that starting OT can feel overwhelming — that’s why we’ve put together a helpful FAQ guide for parents.

Find answers to common questions like:
❓ Do I need a referral?
❓ Can I claim a Medicare rebate?
❓ Does my child need an assessment first?
❓ How many sessions will they need?
❓ Do you do home or school visits?

Our goal is to make the process simple, supportive, and stress-free for families.

🌟 How Does Play Help Children in Therapy (and at Home)? 🌟

At Sydney Kids OT, we use play-based therapy because children learn best when they’re having fun. By following their interests, we can build skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

Here’s how play helps children grow:

🎲 Motivation – Kids are more engaged when they’re doing something they love.
🎨 Creativity – Imagination and problem-solving skills flourish through playful exploration.
💬 Connection – Play provides opportunities for emotional expression and social interaction.
🧗 Movement – Using different toys and equipment lets kids safely explore how their bodies move.

✨ Try this at home: Next time your child is playing, join in! Let them lead the game. Whether it’s building a cubby with cushions, pretending to cook in a toy kitchen, or making up a new game with blocks, you’ll be encouraging creativity, communication, and confidence — all through play.

👉 At Sydney Kids OT, we build therapy sessions around this same idea: when children are having fun, they’re also developing skills for life.

From Toddlers to Teenagers – Meet Henry

Henry started OT with us when he was just two years old — and today he’s 13!

From day one, Henry has greeted us with the biggest smile, and that hasn’t changed. With the support of his amazing family, he’s always off on an adventure, from skiing holidays to the Melbourne Grand Prix.

While communication hasn’t always been easy, Henry has worked hard to express himself and loves telling us what he’s been up to on the weekends. He’s passionate about school, running, and anything to do with racing cars.

Watching Henry grow into the incredible young man he is today has been an absolute privilege. He’s already achieved so much and we have no doubt the best is yet to come.
