We had fun today making interactive, magnetic activation meters today for each child to take home as a tool to use with their family. This was a great way to engage the kids in learning about the concept and checking in with their bodies. Another lovely, warm sunny day in the forest; we are so enjoying spring session!

Learning how to be body detectives today! We made body detective wands and did some fun challenges to learn about body sensations, which is a playful way to introduce interoception, a foundation of self/emotional regulation. What a glorious spring day - we all sure enjoyed the warm sunshine!

What a day for our first week of spring session! We’re running two concurrent groups this spring and it was so nice to meet new families and see many returning kids.

One of the groups discovered that all of our stuffed animal friends had become lost in the forest, so they worked together to interpret this big map of the area and locate them all. This was a great way to orient the new children to the area and all of our favourite play spots, and have the group work together. Luckily all animals are accounted for!

Playful ways to practice breathing exercises as a regulation tool today. We got very into the colourful bubbles and learned “hot chocolate breathing “, even making clay hot chocolate models to take home to practice with. All of the information we cover in sessions is emailed home to families each week for continued learning, practice, as well as fun photos to see what fun their kids got up to!

The apple master is one of our favourite tools for fine motor skills and developing confidence in kids as they get a lot of satisfaction from peeling, coring, and slicing their own apple and then enjoying a delicious snack! 🍎

Task analysis today to work on executive function goals. The kids worked together to break down the different steps in a gardening activity and had fun creating dragon hair pots. Breaking down complex, multi-step tasks and providing visual cues can be helpful to work towards functional goals in daily life such as morning routines.
