Biting is a normal part of toddlerhood for many families, but for some people (us included) it becomes a point of stress when it is happening more frequently than it should!

Toddlers often bite as a way of communicating before they have the words to help but another cause of biting is far less talked about, and that’s where this hack comes in!

Some kids need extra input to feel regulated and the mouth is often a high value spot for this kind of sensory seeking. These kids may bite themselves or others, mouth toys far beyond age appropriate or prefer chewy, high flavored foods. Using an electric toothbrush can be a great way to get this input in a healthy and constructive way. Give it a try and let me know how your little likes it!

Also, if you think a speech delay may be a part of your kiddos biting, we have loved working with to help build vocabulary and prevent delays!!

April is OT month and I can’t pass up the opportunity to celebrate the profession I love so much! We put the FUN in FUNction and objectively speaking I think we’re one of the best jobs out there. In nearly a decade of practice, I’ve never been bored. I get so much joy from my job and feel so fortunate to have found this profession. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to practice what I love here in Central TX! If you have any questions about what OT does or how we could help your family, the inbox is open! 💌

Even if you and your mom friends don’t share the same profession, the value of low stress quality time with friends who love you AND your kids cannot be understated!

Vacations don’t need to be flashy and expensive. They can be as simple as a weekend stay at a friend’s house, a backyard campout or a trip to the zoo! Our kids want meaningful time with us more than anything else, trust us!

What staycations do you have planned this summer?

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I don’t just help children reach their potential by skill building alone. Our occupations are housed in the contexts and routines we live in, meaning what works for some won’t work for all.

Before you buy into the next viral trend to solve your problems, give me a call and let’s see if we can figure out wha works best for YOUR child, together!

Is it messy? Yes!
Do I recommend it? Yes!!!!

Just your resident OT friend here reminding you to let your kids make messes, it’s good for them! Multi-sensory play supports self-feeding, self-regulation and self-esteem, in addition to building fine motor strength and control. So get your SELF out there and make a mess!

What are your favorite messy play ideas? ⬇️

Facilitating play between siblings can feel like refereeing a match, but a great approach is to pick simple, age-friendly activities and assign each kid a special role. Family bonding doesn't have to be complicated or pricey! If spending time as a family feels challenging, we'd love to help. Reach out today to learn more about our services!
