🤗🧠 Collaborative and Proactive Solutions 🧠🤗

Last year our Occupational Therapists Jordan and Paige attended Dr Ross Greene’s professional development training on Collaborative and Proactive Solutions.

Collaborative and proactive solutions is an evidence-based, trauma informed model of care that supports caregivers to focus on identifying the problems that are causing concerning behaviours in children and solving these problems collaboratively and proactively. Concerning behaviour is a child’s way of communicating with us that they are struggling to meet an expectation that has been placed on them.

Collaborative and proactive solutions involve asking and understanding from the child’s perspective what is hard for them about meeting the expectation. Then collaboratively working with the child to come up with a solution.

How can parents work collaboratively and proactively with their child to support their behaviour?
🔶 Gather information from the child directly about what is hard for them to meet the expectation.
🔶 Listening to understand what the child is telling you.
🔶 Clarifying with phrases such as “can you explain that more?” or “I don’t understand, can you tell me more about …?”
🔶 Bringing up what you are worried about for the child. For example “I am worried about you not brushing your teeth because I am worried you will get cavities and maybe need work at the dentist”.
🔶 Avoid power struggles. The best or winning solution is when the child and parent both have their solutions heard and collaborate.
🔶 Lastly, collaboratively working with the child on a solution that is realistic and mutually satisfactory for both the parent and child. Provide the child with the first opportunity to come up with a solution by asking “I wonder if there is a way to…”.

🧸 The Power of Play: How a Teddy Bear Helps Kids Grow 🧸

A teddy bear is more than just a cuddly toy—it’s a powerful tool for learning and development. Through play, children build essential skills in fun, meaningful ways:

🧠 Creativity & Problem Solving
Whether rescuing their bear from danger or inventing adventures, kids use imagination to overcome challenges and think creatively.

🤝 Social Skills & Teamwork
Playing with a teddy encourages turn-taking, sharing, and cooperation, offering a safe way to practice social interactions.

💬 Empathy & Perspective-Taking
Children explore emotions by comforting their bear or acting out feelings, helping them understand others’ perspectives.

🌈 Emotional Expression & Regulation
Teddy play provides kids with a safe outlet to express and manage emotions such as joy, fear, or frustration.

🌱 Confidence & Self-Awareness
Caring for a teddy bear builds responsibility and boosts self-esteem as children step into nurturing and leadership roles.

Occupational therapists know: a teddy bear isn’t just a toy—it’s a powerful tool! 🧸 It supports children’s development, participation, and play, helping them grow in the skills that matter most.

🔋 Energy Conservation: The Power of the 4 P’s 🔋

Whether you’re managing fatigue or just navigating through a busy schedule, mastering the 4 P’s can make all the difference:

☑️ Prioritise – Focus on what matters most and let go of what can wait.
📅 Plan – Organise your day to avoid backtracking or repeating unnecessary movements.
🐢 Pace – Take breaks before you’re tired, slow down and listen to your body.
🪑 Position – Sit instead of stand, avoid excessive bending or reaching, use tools to reduce effort.

Just a reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup – pause, breathe, refill. 😊

🕐 Visual Schedules Across the Lifespan ✅

Did you know that visual schedules can be used at any age?

🔶 For younger children:
Visual schedules can be used to encourage independence in their self-care tasks, such as teeth brushing and getting dressed for school, where the pictures help to decrease the level of prompting required from parents.

🔶 For adolescents:
Visual schedules can be made to reflect their school workload to help reduce the stress that comes with assessments, whilst ensuring they have adequate social and leisure time.

🔶 For adults:
Visual schedules can support work–life balance, ensuring that even adults have time for play! Colours can be adapted to suit the energy levels of the client—times to be productive and times to wind down.

Occupational therapists can adapt the visual schedule depending on the client’s needs and goals. Schedules can be personalised to be appealing to clients — or clients can help design their own! 🙂

🎭 Why Pretend Play Is So Important 🧠🧸
Pretend play isn’t just cute—it’s crucial for child development!

When kids act out stories, take on roles, or use objects imaginatively, they’re building real-life skills like:
🔶 Communication
🔶 Social Connection (without forcing it)
🔶 Problem-Solving
🔶 Emotional Regulation & Expression
🔶 Cognitive Flexibility & Growth

In paediatric occupational therapy, we use play as a powerful tool to help kids reach their fullest potential! It helps them connect, explore, and prepare for everyday life in a fun and safe way.

🧸 Pretend play isn’t just play. It’s practice for life.
