‘Heavy work’ (activities that push, pull, lift, or carry) is great for kids because it gives their bodies strong sensory input that helps them feel calm, organised, and focused.

In short:
• Improves focus & attention – helps kids settle and concentrate
• Calms the nervous system – reduces stress and overwhelm
• Builds body awareness – kids better understand where their body is in space
• Supports coordination & strength – develops muscles and motor skills
• Helps emotional regulation – useful for kids who are hyperactive or easily frustrated

That’s why things like carrying groceries, climbing, pushing a cart, or playing with resistance (like therapy putty) are often recommended!
