‘Heavy work’ (activities that push, pull, lift, or carry) is great for kids because it gives their bodies strong sensory input that helps them feel calm, organised, and focused.

In short:
• Improves focus & attention – helps kids settle and concentrate
• Calms the nervous system – reduces stress and overwhelm
• Builds body awareness – kids better understand where their body is in space
• Supports coordination & strength – develops muscles and motor skills
• Helps emotional regulation – useful for kids who are hyperactive or easily frustrated

That’s why things like carrying groceries, climbing, pushing a cart, or playing with resistance (like therapy putty) are often recommended!

A gentle reminder this Autism Awareness Month 💙
Every child is doing the best they can, and when we lead with understanding and connection, we help them feel safe enough to shine ✨️

🌱 Considering a Nurture School Ready Program 🌱

I’m exploring the possibility of running a small 'School Readiness' group later this year for children who will be starting Kindergarten in 2027.

This program would focus on helping children build confidence and develop important skills for starting school such as:

• joining group activities
• listening and following instructions
• waiting and turn taking
• managing frustration
• building social confidence

Sessions would be play-based and run in a small, supportive group. NDIS and private paying.

At this stage I’m simply gauging interest from families to see whether this is something that would be helpful in our community.

If you think your child may benefit from a program like this, feel free to comment below or send me a message.
