We often can get stuck in the question of ‘why won’t they’ that we forget to ask ‘can they?’

If a young persons nervous system is dysregulated, no amount of prompting or reasoning will lead to long term growth. A dysregulated brain is just trying to survive, it is not ready to learn, plan or problem solve.

This is why we always prioritise regulation first!
When we take the time to help the body feel safe and ready, executive functioning can switch on and shared problem solving can happen.

At home or in your session try to take the time to cue in, keep language calm and simple and do some activities WITH them first.

Move, drink, fidget, break or just slow things down. Remember, everyone’s body is different, it can take some time to learn what tools work for them and even ourselves.

At MPOT we understand as a paediatric clinic that mental health impacts many of the young people and families we work with and want to ensure we develop the skills needed to understand and support to the best of our abilities.

For this reason we recently completed a 2-day training course with the incredible Robbie from The Online OT learning all things psychosocial. An immersive training experience going through all stages of therapy, refining reporting and learning more how to care for ourselves and our team.

Don’t forget the role GPs and Paediatricians have in supporting you and your child.

It’s more than just medication and diagnosis!
They can support to investigate and rule out potential underlying medical factors impacting your child’s wellbeing and development and open up often essential referral pathways.

Make sure you are prepared for appointments:
🟣 Keeping a diary on medications or behaviours can make the most of your time.
🟣 Keeping records of previous appointments can also give better insight into now.
🟣 Have questions prepared ahead of time.

Children are constantly changing and their needs are too!

Term 1 training ✅

A huge thank you to our OT’s Ben, Taighlor and Josh for sharing their experience and insight in supporting teens and preparing for adulthood. Before testing the team’s communication skills. 😂

Plus the mood boost with the MPOT family babies coming for a visit ☺️

Problem solving is a key part of OT and helping develop skills for young people. But running into ‘I don’t know’ is a common hurdle for all of us.

Try to keep these in mind at home or in your own sessions and let us know what other ways you get through the ‘I don’t know’s

📣We want to hear from you 📣 and make sure we continue to deliver the best support for your child.

Part of this is changing how we do groups and taking on feedback from the young people we work with that bigger groups can sometimes be too much too soon. Working in pairs or mini-groups creates the perfect space for kids to build confidence, get more chances to practice skills they need while feeling safe and seen.

If you think this is the best fit for your children let us know either by scanning the code or calling us today on 0298248945

OT isn’t just our perspective……it’s yours too! 💬✨

We asked parents and young people who attend MPOT, what OT means to them - and the answers did not disappoint! 🙌

From navigating tricky emotions, to exploring skills or strategies essential for school, daily life, adulthood and everyday challenges. OT really can be the jack of all trades! 🧠💪💡
