Occupational Therapists are renowned for looking beyond where a child CAN or cannot complete a skill. Instead the focus is on HOW they complete it. This is established early on in movement patterns to ensure the correct foundations are laid to support further development of motor skills as they grow. This could be a as simple as crawling; ensuring the correct crawling pattern is achieved will assist in further cross crawl patterns such as walking, running and hand eye coordination required for all reading, writing and sporting skills.

Did you know that all motor patterns stem originally from reflexes? Once the reflex is integrated, the movement pattern is built upon, establishing the foundations on how to move in space, how much force to use, how to move both sides of the body together, how to balance, and feel safe in the body in an organised, cooridnated and confident way.

Occupational therapists support the development of many skills like Gross Motor Skills. This month, we explore different movement patterns that occur from birth to help children achieve these foundational skills. We identify strategies and ways to continue building these movements through childhood, encouraging coordination and confidence as children develop.

As parents, we tend to let our needs become the bottom of the to do list – mums are particularly renowned for this. We see this every day within our families that we support. But as hard as it is, we have to prioritise ourselves to continue to have the energy to keep going.
🌟A bath, foot soak, a hot cup of tea, 5 minute walk or standing outside on grass in the quiet fresh air for 2-5 minutes can be enough to get you through. I know it is easier said than done, but collectively we have to do this, us Explore and Soar mum's are right there with you in this one, navigating the guilt and to do lists to make the time.

Staying open, flexible and adaptive to the constant changes that life can throw at you is one of many great skills you can have.
Another is knowing how to say 'NO'!
This is something we at Explore and Soar work on consistently within our personal lives as well as being flexible in our work life; managing constant changes to best meet our client and family needs! This juggle is real and we all feel it!

We are social beings, we are hardwired to need and seek out connection to help oursleves feel a sense of belonging. This can be in your community, family or social or sporting network.

Some questions to ponder... 💭
What are your values? What are your boundaries? How can you try to protect and ensure that each day, week, month as the year goes on, you are keeping these non-negotiables at the forefront of your planning?

When you are clear on these, the non-negotiables can be easier to implement and follow through, thus you'll know better when to commit and when not to.

Facts: Did you know?
🌟In June 2025, 44% of all Australian families had children or dependents aged between 0-14years.
🌟Around 82% of families are classed as couple families, while 16% are classed as single parent families.
🌟Of all the couple families, 73% have both parents employed, with another 22% with one parent employed.
🌟The percentage of dual employed parents has risen over the last 20 years (2005-2025) by over 10%.
