How do you handle dressing your kids for the weather? Do you let them figure it out on their own? Have a stubborn kiddo when it comes to dressing ? Or maybe a child that is still learning the basics of weather such as hot/cold?

A few tips I’ve learned along the way-
•layer, layer, layer- teach kids the importance of layers and layering appropriately & remember you can always remove but can’t always add! one of my favorite resources is a layering guide from I’ll share it in my story!
•offer choices- choose a few options that they can choose from… giving them the choice & you a peace of mind that their choice is appropriate
•set a boundary & let it be known ahead of time for certain weather conditions (when snow is on the ground- we wear XYZ- use this language consistently)

Sassafras have such a lovely lemony smell that reminds me of the iced tea mix my grandma always had at her house! 🍋They have 3 different shaped leaves- and fun ones that my kids always imagine as dinosaur footprints 🦕🦖

Head out to find these leaves & have fun doing scratch & sniff. What else can you notice with your nose outdoors this fall? 👃🏻lmk in the comments!

Fun fact about Miss Jenna- sassafras is my FAV tree because of their whimsical branches. I also lived on sassafras street in college 🙃

Sometimes the simplest activities are the best!🍁🍂

We aim to help kids thrive through meaningful outdoor experiences focusing on growing (strength, coordination), playing (building play & leisure skills, interacting with others), exploring (engaging with the natural environment with all of our senses, discovering the beauty & awe of the natural world) & connecting (with one’s self, family unit, others & with nature)

We do this outdoors because we believe outdoor play is foundational to child development!

🌿My child doesn’t have a diagnosis- is Outdoor Occupational Therapy still a good fit?

Outdoor Occupational Therapy isn’t just for kids with a diagnosis or those who already qualify for school services. It can benefit a wide range of children and families!

Outdoor OT might be a good fit if your child:
🧠Struggles with focus, attention, or following routines
❤️Has big feelings and needs support with regulation
✋Avoids or seeks sensory experiences (that impairs with function)
💪Needs to improve strength, coordination, or school readiness skills
⭐️Benefits from hands-on, play-based & movement based experiences
🌳Needs more green time & less screen time!

🌿Well & Wild Child’s mission is to helps kids (& families) grow, play, explore, and connect — whether they have a diagnosis or not, or a qualifying score or not!
