Motivate Kids

Motivate Kids Motivate Kids provides tailored OT for your child to be supported to unlock their greatest potential. We walk you through this process step-by-step.

At Motivate Kids we know the thing you want most right now is a clear plan of where your child is at, the journey to come and an idea of the destination. You too will learn along the way so that you can more confidently understand your child, their therapy plan and implement it too. You will gain clarity and have that feeling of “I’ve got this.”

You need someone who keeps everyone on the same page so that home and school, or kindy / child care, pull together in a way to create a therapeutic life for your child. Nothing will be missed along the way. So imagine that feeling when you see your child succeed at things they’ve never done before. To see them happy and engaged and to see that their progress overflows out of therapy and into their daily lives. This is all held together by someone who specialises in “sensory integration” Occupational Therapy. Someone who is as passionate about your child as you are. Someone who will challenge them “just enough” to make progress that is worth celebrating. This someone has to be fun, uplifting and bursting with knowledge. It is important for you to feel heard, appreciated and empowered as you undertake this journey and to be surrounded by a community of like-minded people who have your back. These people have not walked in your shoes but they sure have had their own journey. We can learn from each other and realise, we are not alone. Its time to stop surviving and start thriving. Having stability in life to release the pressure is essential. At Motivate Kids we know exactly where you are at right now and how to help you and your child move forward. After all, “it’s about supporting children to live their best lives” – Motivate Kids

AI is everywhere right now, in our phones, our work, even our homes. And yes, we use it too.

We thoughtfully integrate AI to support what we do helping us plan smarter, track progress, and create better resources for families. But here’s what never changes: the heart of our work is human.

Real connection. Real relationships. Real understanding. Real OTs.

Because no technology can replace a child feeling seen, supported, and celebrated in the moment. AI supports our practice, but it will never replace the people at the heart of it.

Learning how much pressure to use isn’t something children just “know.” It’s a skill, and like any skill, it develops with gentle practice and lots of patience.

If you’d like to try something simple at home, here’s a playful idea: Living Room Curling

1. Tape a target on the floor or place a basket at one end of the room

2. From a start line, slide a pair of rolled-up socks toward the target

3. Take turns and see who can get closest

4. Play around with pushing softer… then a little harder

Just like curling, it’s not about being fast. It’s about finding that “just right” amount of force. And the best part? Your child is building real-life skills in a way that feels safe, fun, and connected.

Becoming a parent comes with so much joy and so much information. It’s normal to feel unsure, overwhelmed, or like you’re meant to have it all figured out already.

Motivate Minis was created to gently cut through the noise. Short, supportive sessions led by paediatric OTs, focused on helping you understand your baby, build confidence through play, and enjoy the moments that matter the most without pressure.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Learn More here:

Not every Valentine needs hearts and candy.

Some just need gentle words and care.

Today we’re celebrating effort, growth, and the little wins that matter most.

Here’s to small steps, taken with lots of love and celebrating where your child is right now.

Watching the Winter Olympics and wishing you could snowboard too?
Good news your living room totally counts!

Snowboarding is really about staying balanced while your body reacts to what’s happening around you. Children practice these same skills every time they balance, reach, catch, or respond even if it doesn’t look like “therapy.”

Try this at home during an ad break (or anytime they want a little play break):
Have your child stand on a cushion or sit on a yoga ball, then gently toss soft toys to catch. Keep it playful, keep it easy, and let their body do the work.

Your child’s body is learning, even when it looks like play. Save this for an easy at-home idea and view more here:https://www.motivatekids.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Motivate-Kids-Olympics.pdf

The early months as a parent to a newborn are full of love… and a lot of questions, overwhelm and emotions. Feeds, naps, sleepless nights, endless laundry and the gentle hurdles of everyday life can leave even the most confident parent feeling unsure.

We see you, we hear you, and we have something small but powerful coming very soon.

After spending extra time together over the end of year holidays, going back to school can be tricky period for little ones, and it’s not uncommon for feelings of separation anxiety to show up.

Invisible Strings is a gentle, heartwarming story that helps children understand that love and connection stay strong, even when you’re apart.

Our OTs, love this book because it gives families a comforting way to:
- Talk about big feelings
- Nurture attachment
- Build emotional security

Reading it together can make those first days back a little calmer and help children feel safe, loved, and connected even as the venture out on school or other activities away from you.

Our Holiday Workshops are so much more than just fun (although they also deliver plenty of that!), they’re child-led OT in real life activities.

Each session is child-led and hands-on, helping kids build skills like fine motor control, focus, coordination and confidence, all while exploring their favourite activities like dance, football, boardgames and more.
