Let’s be real: traveling ✈️ with little ones takes a whole new level of planning!⁠

Over the years (and many trips), I’ve learned what’s actually worth packing and what ends up taking up space. So I put together a full Tiny Traveler Survival Kit in my Amazon Storefront to make your next trip a little smoother.⁠

We’re talking:⁠
💜 A soft nightlight that keeps hotel rooms feeling familiar⁠
💜 A portable booster seat + suction plate for less mealtime mess⁠
💜 Screen-free toy options like reusable stickers & a doodle board⁠
💜 A mini sound machine for naps on the go⁠
💜 Changing pads, wipes holders, and the grab-n-go gear you’ll wish you had sooner⁠
💜 & more!⁠

✨ Shop the full list in my Amazon Storefront under the Travel category — linked in bio! ✨⁠

P.S. If you’ve got a must-pack item for travel days, share it in the comments! Always down to add to the kit 👇.

As a Pediatric PT, I’m seeing an increase 📈 in babies and toddlers who struggle to play on their own, and it’s more common than you might think. ⁠

Parents often ask me if therapy is needed, but the truth is, it usually comes down to having too many toys and not enough focus. When the playroom is cluttered, kids can’t focus on one thing at a time, just like we can't work at a messy desk! 🧸✨⁠

To help them get back to the basics, we need to prioritize a clean, organized play space. Show them how to play by modeling 1:1 play, even for just 5-10 minutes a day. And don’t forget clean-up time! Make it fun by singing a clean-up song and helping them finish the task 🎶. ⁠

As a parent, understanding the differences between standard pediatric physical therapy and intensive physical therapy programming can be incredibly confusing -- we get it, we are a pediatric Physical and Occupational therapy clinic 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

Scroll through above where we break down - in a digestible way - the differences between "standard" PT and "intensive" PT.

Here at Milestones, we offer both. Because learning these skills sooner than later is key (Yes -- if you don't use it, you may lose it), our first recommendation is always booking an evaluation with your local pediatric Physical Therapist.

If you're in the tri-county metro Detroit area, that would be us 🥰, and we'd be SO happy to connect with your family.

Q: What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy, and how can it help my child?

A: Today's post 👆🏽

We're talking all things Pediatric OT -- what it is, how it helps, and sharing who may benefit from it! We always start with an in-home consultation to determine if OT is right for your child.

🔺The Hierarchy of Learning🔺⁠

This hierarchy/pyramid is a powerful visual that helps explain the essential skills children need to confidently grow and thrive in daily activities and academics.⁠

At the base of the pyramid are foundational skills that support everything else, like sensory processing and motor control. Without a strong foundation, children may struggle with higher-level tasks and be misunderstood as having “behavioral” issues.⁠

For example, a child who is overly sensitive to auditory input might find it difficult to focus in a noisy classroom or at school events. By addressing these needs with intention, we help them process, attend, and transition more smoothly in everyday life 🧠💡.⁠

THIS is all addressed in Pediatric Occupational Therapy!! The more you know 🌈. SAVE and SEND to a friend!⁠

Or, if you're local and interested in how we can support your child and family, reach out on our website. We have NO WAITLIST for OT services!
