We often get questions about the difference between a psychologist and a “therapist”. A registered psychologist holds a masters degree or higher and has gone through a provisional process before registration has been completed. That process involves 1600 hours of supervised practice, an ethics requirement (used to be a panel but is now the LEAP) and our jurisprudence exam. Once we have completed these things we are fully registered as a practicing psychologist. This process allows us to be covered by insurance companies and extended benefits. Look at your mental health practitioner’s credentials to ensure coverage. Psychologists can be called Therapists but the reverse is not always true.

In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming for little ones, providing them with simple yet engaging tools to support their well-being, creativity, and senses can help them feel supported. Sensory play has many benefits, especially for children of young ages. In the early years, children use their senses to understand and connect with the world around them.  

Children are naturally curious about the world around them and the Sensory Play Jar is a great tool for them to actively engage their senses all while supporting their development through play

These sensory bottles are an excellent tool to promote relaxation, attract positive emotions in the child, and provide a moment of enjoyment to relieve their tensions. A good time to use it can be after some period of distress like a long car journey, arriving tired from daycare, or before going to sleep.
