Yesterday we were invited to attend a local Brantford school “Welcome to Kindergarten Event”. We got to met excited 3 and 4 year olds about to start school, and educate parents on how OT can support a child during the elementary school years.

All families received a copy of this handout and we wanted to share it with you all as well!

Board games are a great way to practice many wonderful skills including:
⭐️turn taking
⭐️ sportsmanship
⭐️ tolerating losing/flexible thinking
⭐️ working memory
⭐️ visual motor skills
⭐️ and more!

My four year old has been loving the game Outfoxed lately! A twist on the classic game of a Clue. Do you play board games in your house? What are your favourites?

This reel was inspired by many personal and professional conversations about potty training lately. Here are 4 of my unfiltered opinions from the perspective of an occupational therapist and mom of two:

1. The 3 day method doesn’t work for everyone and that is okay!
2. Make sure your child’s feet can touch the ground or a stool while sitting on the potty or toilet.
3. You don’t have to day training and night train at the same time.
4. You can p**p everyday and still be constipated!

Do you have any advice, tips or thoughts on potty training? Share below!

The pyramid of learning is one of my favourite ways to help parents understand what might be underlying some of the challenging behaviours that we are seeing in a child.

Many referrals for OT sound like this:
🔴 My child struggles to pay attention and sit still in class
🔴 My child has extreme emotional reactions, which include hitting, screaming and throwing things
🔴 It takes forever for my child to get ready in the mornings. I have to remind them to get dressed 30 times.

What a parent is describing is a “behaviour”. Notice that behaviour is at the top of the pyramid of learning. What this means is that a child needs to have all the skills below the pyramid functioning properly in order to meet the behavioural expectations we are placing on them.

Through a clinical assessment, OTs will determine what underlying skills may be impacting a child’s participation. For example:
💚sensory integration issues
💚Poor bilateral coordination
💚Unable to cross midline
💚Visual tracking difficulties

When we start to be detectives and think about the WHY behind a child’s behaviour it helps us to reframe our understanding of it as a lagging skill rather than defiance.

We will be exploring this concept and more at the “Surviving Life With a Toddler” workshop on June 20! See link in bio to register.

Raising a toddler can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times, EXHAUSTING. It can be hard to know how to approach all of the complex developmental needs of your kid at this time.

That's why we created the Surviving Life With a Toddler workshop! This group is designed for parents of toddlers age 18 months to 4 years. It will be co-led by perinatal Psychotherapist (Qualifying) Becca Staley from our team, and pediatric Occupational Therapist Brittany So from Brant Kids Therapy.

This workshop is about understanding your child, supporting them, and feeling more confident in how you show up as a parent.

And the best part? If you have benefits coverage for an Occupational Therapist or Psychotherapist, this will likely be covered!!!
