💙 A Gentle Monday Reminder 💙

You don’t have to do everything this week. You just have to do the next right thing. One step at a time is still progress.

If this feels like something another parent might need to hear today, feel free to share it 💫

For some families, school starts today. For others, it begins tomorrow. Either way, this is a big moment.

The first days back can bring excitement, nerves, tired bodies, and big feelings, sometimes all at once. That’s completely normal. Take things one step at a time and remember that settling in is a process, not a race.

Wishing all our children, families, and educators a gentle and positive start to the school year 💛

✨ Progress Looks Different for Every Child ✨

In paediatric OT, progress isn’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes it looks like trying again, asking for help, or staying regulated for just a little longer than last week.

What’s a small moment of progress you’ve noticed recently? Those moments matter more than you think 🌱

🧼 Health & Self-Care Independence 🧼

Independence helps children feel confident and capable at school.

This includes skills like using the toilet, washing hands, dressing themselves, opening lunchboxes, and looking after their belongings.

Practising these skills at home can make a big difference to how children manage the school day.

🇦🇺 Heads up, everyone! 🇦🇺

Just a little reminder that we’ll be off enjoying the Australia Day break on Monday, 26 January. That means the clinic will be closed for the day. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in action at 8:30 AM on Tuesday, 27 January, ready to roll.

Enjoy the long weekend and the celebrations!

✏️ Fine Motor Skills for Learning ✏️

Fine motor skills support everyday classroom tasks like drawing, cutting, using tools, and beginning writing.

Before Prep, children are often developing pencil grip, scissor skills, hand strength, and control through play and craft activities.

These skills grow best through hands-on experiences rather than worksheets 🎨

🏃 Gross Motor Skills for the School Day 🏃

The school day involves a lot of movement, from lining up and sitting on the mat to navigating the playground.

Gross motor skills like balancing, hopping, climbing, throwing, and moving safely with other children help support participation and confidence at school.

Outdoor play, obstacle courses, and playground time all play an important role here 🌳

🗣️ Speaking & Sharing Ideas 🗣️

Strong speaking skills help children express their needs, share experiences, and build friendships at school.

Before Prep, many children are working towards speaking in full sentences, asking questions, and using a growing vocabulary to describe what they think and feel.

Talking together during play, reading, and daily routines all support this development in natural ways 💬

Millmerran Outreach Clinic week is here 🌾
Gabby, James, Bailey and Maarya are back in Millmerran for another 3-day intensive OT clinic, and it’s been so lovely reconnecting with our rural PPOT community. There’s something really special about being welcomed back into a town and seeing familiar faces again.
A huge thank you to St Joseph’s Catholic School for so generously lending us their classrooms. As a paediatric practice, being able to work within school spaces brings such a sense of familiarity and comfort for the children while they access vital therapy, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support.
We’re looking forward to a big few days of therapy, connection, and meaningful work 💛

🌟 How OT Can Support Prep Readiness 🌟

Every child develops at their own pace, and sometimes extra support can help build confidence before starting school.

Occupational therapists can support prep readiness by focusing on the skills that matter most for your child and your family.

If you’re looking for personalised strategies, our School Tip Sheets offer practical guidance you can use at home and share with educators. Reach out to chat with your OT or contact our team to learn more 💛

📖 Listening & Following Directions 📖

In Prep, children are asked to listen, focus, and follow instructions many times throughout the day.

Being able to sit for short periods, listen to a story, and follow one or two step directions helps children feel confident and settled in the classroom.

These skills can be built through everyday routines like reading together, playing games, and giving simple instructions at home.

💛 Personal, Social & Emotional Skills Matter 💛

Being ready for Prep isn’t just about learning. It’s also about how children cope, connect, and participate in a classroom.

This includes skills like taking turns, sharing, separating from parents, following rules, and managing big feelings when things don’t go to plan.

These skills take time and practice, and they grow through play, routines, and supportive adults.

What’s one social or emotional skill your child has been working on lately? 🌈
