Did you know that picky eaters make amazing progress together? Group feeding therapy is a GAME CHANGER for kids learning to try new foods, because peer encouragement and playful exploring spark bigger breakthroughs than you might expect!

Not sure if your child is ready? Here’s our Playful Pairings Readiness Checklist:
✔️ Comfortable seeing others eat
✔️ Can follow basic group instructions
✔️ Open to gentle encouragement (not pressure!)
✔️ Willing to try new things: even if just looking or touching

If you checked off a few, a group might be right for you! Not quite there? No problem: we’ll help your child build those skills one playful step at a time.

Is snack time a struggle? For many kids, picky eating isn't just about taste: textures, smells, and even the way food feels can make meal time tough. Our sensory-based group feeding therapy looks beyond “just try it!” and gently helps kids explore new foods in playful company.

Wondering if your child might be ready to join a group? One great sign: Can your child sit and share snack time with peers? That spark of social interest is a huge step! Group therapy builds not just eating skills, but confidence and fun with friends.

If your child isn’t quite ready for a group, no problem: our Playful Pairings offer a more personalized approach!

Curious to learn more? Call us at the clinic or email admin@playfulstrides.com for details and registration. Let’s make food fun, together! 🥦🍎

Seasonal changes can be a real challenge for children who struggle with emotional regulation: the extra daylight, schedule shifts, or holiday excitement can throw off even the best routines. That’s why we’re so excited about the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) at Playful Strides! SSP is a gentle, research-backed listening therapy designed to help calm the nervous system and build emotional resilience. We’ve seen children become calmer, more flexible, and better able to handle transitions with the support of SSP: making those tough seasonal moments feel a little lighter both at the clinic and at home.

If your child could use extra support navigating big feelings this season, we’re here to help and ready to chat about solutions that work for your family. Call or email to learn more about SSP and emotional regulation at Playful Strides!

Holiday family gatherings are full of excitement: and can be overwhelming for kiddos with big feelings! 🎄 Did you know that interoception (our “body sense” that helps us notice hunger, fullness, thirst, tiredness, and more) is a secret superpower when it comes to self-regulation in busy, sensory-rich environments?

Helping your child tune into signals like “my tummy feels full” or “I need a quiet break” supports them to manage emotions and enjoy family traditions. Try gentle check-ins: Before dessert, ask if their belly feels full, or after games, help them notice if they feel tired.

Every small step towards self-awareness makes a big difference! If the holidays feel tough, our team is here to support your family with playful, practical OT strategies: reach out anytime for ideas or a helping hand. 💚
