Great ideas to increase proprioceptive input- so important for regulation. 🤗

✅ Benefits of Proprioceptive Activities for Kids

1. Improves Body Awareness

Kids learn to understand how their body moves, how much pressure to use, and where they are in space — essential for coordination and safety.

2. Calms and Regulates Emotions

Proprioceptive input has a calming effect on the nervous system. It can help reduce anxiety, hyperactivity, or sensory overload, especially for neurodivergent children (e.g. autism, ADHD).

3. Enhances Focus and Attention

After proprioceptive input, kids often feel more grounded and ready to concentrate on tasks like schoolwork or listening.

4. Supports Motor Skills

These activities build strength, coordination, and motor planning (knowing how to start and carry out a movement sequence).

5. Promotes Better Sleep

Deep-pressure input and heavy work can help prepare the body for rest by releasing serotonin and melatonin.

It’s what we call “risky play” and there is so much to benefit from it! There are lots of natural opportunities for risky play in our nature groups, such as the all-time favorite- climbing trees!

Going up the slide builds strength, coordination, visual motor skills, core stability, visual motor skills, grip, and more!

Chronic noncompliance isn’t about defiance, it’s a message. When we shift from control to curiosity, we can rebuild trust, reduce resistance, and meet the child where they are.
