Through the Get Permission Approach to feeding, our OTs focus on shifting the narrative with families surrounding meals and feeding children. The ultimate goal is to support a child’s natural, internal motivation to eat, not force them.

This can look like providing options and allowing a child to serve themselves, altering the expectation around what “trying food” looks like, and instead growing a child’s comfort with new foods slowly.

Forcing, bribing, and tricking kids into eating foods may seem like a “ends justify the means” scenario, however, this can really be more detrimental in the long run.

If you have questions, reach out to your OT or our offices to schedule an appointment!

Thanks for this original about caring for kiddos!

As a society we have high expectations of children. In many ways, we sometimes expect that they simply behave as small adults. BUT, they are truly not capable of this, especially in the early years of childhood.

Being able to regulate emotions, show impulse control, delay gratification, or even verbally explain what they need are all skills! These take consistent modeling, coaching, validating, and teaching to be able to do these things on their own.

Overall, a child’s nervous system is learning from a caregiver’s nervous system and their relationship with them. It takes time to develop and we challenge you to keep in the forefront that they are learning ♥️

It means so much to us when families share the growth and progress they see in their child.

As therapists we strive to change your daily experiences and improve quality of life within your family.

Such an important reminder from that “misbehavior” and “problem behaviors” are not what children strive to do. It is much more likely that they are looking for a way to express a need or share something but simply don’t know how.

As hard as it can be, it is our job and responsibility to help them navigate these tricky spaces and emotions to teach and empower them.

Ongoing learning is of monumental importance to us at Pediatric Possibilities! Whether it be through formal, continuing education courses, weekly 1:1 mentoring, or our full OT staff meetings like this one, we prioritize our continued growth as therapists!

During this group meeting we were reviewing and practicing newer clinical observations that we use to evaluate and assess postural stability, core activation, and vestibular processing!
