We can’t expect kids to thrive academically when their brain is stuck in survival mode. 🧠
That’s not defiance - t’s biology. A child’s nervous system prioritizes safety over standards, regulation over recall.

Before they can learn, they need to feel safe, seen, and supported. When we build connection first, we unlock the part of the brain where learning truly happens.

🌟 Capable Juniors Academy – Built on Passion, Purpose, and Potential 🌟

Founded in 2023 by our dedicated directors, Jeanette and Chantelle, Capable Juniors Academy was created with a heartfelt mission:
to build a therapy service where children and their families feel safe, included, and recognised as individuals with unique strengths and needs — and to bridge the gap between supports in early childhood settings and the transition into school for children with additional needs, particularly those on the autism spectrum.

As a not-for-profit organisation and a registered NDIS provider, we are committed to delivering individualised, high-quality therapeutic support. Our team specialises in behaviour support and early childhood intervention, ensuring every service plan is tailored to the unique goals, preferences, and developmental journey of each child.

With extensive experience supporting autistic children and young adults, as well as individuals with ADHD, our team focuses on understanding each child’s unique way of learning and interacting with the world, building skills in a way that feels meaningful, respectful, and supportive to them.

At the heart of our growing team is the incredible Eliza, whose dedication, warmth, and knowledge help bring our mission to life every day.

💙 At Capable Juniors Academy, we believe every child deserves personalised support that reflects who they are — because no two journeys are the same.

Thank you for being part of ours.

It’s essential for educators and parents to understand the positive impact that incorporating movement strategies into a child’s daily routine can have. These strategies can greatly help manage sensory-seeking behaviours, which often lead to distractions or disruptions, and contribute to creating a calmer, more focused environment.

Yesterday, I watched an early childhood educator spend 20 minutes managing fidgeting, redirecting attention, and implementing behaviour strategies during mat time. That same 20 minutes could have been prevented with 3 minutes of movement that gave those little nervous systems what they were desperately seeking.

Your most challenging 3-5 year olds aren't being defiant. They're showing you exactly what their developing brains need to feel calm and ready to engage.

The fidgeting child needs to spin, rock, and sway. The crashing child needs to push, pull, and squeeze. The restless child needs their whole body activated before sitting on the mat.

Instead of "Sit still, hands to yourself, listen to the story," try "Let's get our bodies ready for story time."

3-minute morning activators that work
* Bear crawls around the room (under tables, over cushions)
* Spin like washing machines (fast and slow, left and right)
* Push the wall to make it stronger (firm and gentle)
* March like robots with big arm swings (left and right, high and low)
* Animal walks to the mat (slow and fast - finishing with a slow animal)

When you feed the sensory need BEFORE asking for quiet attention, children naturally regulate.

After 2-3 days of consistent movement input, you'll see dramatic decreases in fidgeting, calling out, and restless behaviours. Your most challenging children often become your most engaged.

Start tomorrow with ONE movement activity. Use it consistently for one week. Watch your group time transform and let us know how you go.
