Last week was all about giving our Playsense spaces a little love! 🧸💛

Last week during the school holidays, our team rolled up their sleeves to sort resources, refresh our therapy spaces and get everything ready for term 4.

Now that the term is underway, it’s lovely to have our little ones back for another term of play, connection and learning! 💛

What’s your favourite part of getting ready for a new term? 👇

It's World Mental Health Day 💚

This year’s global theme is Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change, and highlights the importance of including people with lived experience in decisions about mental health support.

In Australia, Mental Health Australia's theme is Together We Thrive, encouraging connection, conversations and checking in with ourselves and others. 💛

Small moments of connection can make space for meaningful conversations.

Preparing for your child’s NDIS check-in? 📞

An NDIS check-in can happen at any time during your child’s plan, and it can be helpful to have a few things ready before you answer the call.

From knowing your child’s current goals and support needs, to thinking about what a hard day looks like and the ways OT currently supports your child's everyday activities, a little preparation may help you share what matters.

Swipe through for 7 simple tips to help you feel more prepared, including questions you can ask during the call. 💛

If you’re unsure about changes to funding or your plan, you can ask the NDIS or your Support Coordinator for support.

The team at Playsense recently had our team outing at Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden 🌿💐

We spent the morning flower arranging, laughing and connecting. It was a lovely chance to step away from the clinic, have some fun and enjoy being together as a team.

It was also a special opportunity to celebrate Jess and say goodbye as she heads into her next chapter. We’ve loved having Jess as part of our Playsense team and are so grateful for all the care and support she has brought. She’ll definitely be missed around the clinic!

Wishing you all the very best, Jess. We can’t wait to see what’s next for you 💛

Emotional Health Series | Part 2

When our child is having a big feeling, we want to support them through it. But sometimes we can enter the moment with a controlled agenda.

Our children hear what we say, but they are also taking in our non-verbal cues and emotional presence.

So, when your child is having a big feeling, notice what thoughts or narratives are showing up for you.

Rather than needing to change them, get curious about them. The more we can notice and hold these thoughts gently, the more space we create to simply be with our child’s emotion.

No need to get it perfect, just notice.

Watch Part 2 as our Director and Paediatric Occupational Therapist, Emma Allen, shares the second tip in our Emotional Health Series.

R U OK? 💛

Between school drop-offs, packing lunches, work, therapy appointments and bedtime, it can be easy to forget to check in with ourselves, our little ones and each other.

R U OK? Day is a little reminder to pause, connect and ask: “How are you really going?” 🌿

It doesn’t need to be a big conversation. Sometimes it’s simply listening, sitting alongside someone, or letting them know, “I’m here if you need me.”

Because looking after ourselves and each other starts with connection. 💛

"Evan, Ellie, Jesse and Molly are one of my favourite therapy tools because they are part of the Social Thinking books that we use. They bring the concepts to life because children can use these characters in pretend play to act out social experiences and learn and problem solve. This can help with their social connections because they are using third person rather than talking about themselves and that can sometimes make it safer and easier to solve social problems and learn" - Emma

Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we’re celebrating the dads, grandads, stepdads, carers and father figures who listen, encourage, nurture, play and support the children in their lives. ✨

The ones who learn alongside their children, finding new ways to connect, understand and support them as they grow.

The ones who celebrate the wins, sit alongside the hard moments, and keep showing up through all the stages in between.

Fatherhood looks different for everyone, but today, we’re celebrating all of it. 💙

With love,
The Playsense team 💛
