Mini milestones are the small but important little steps that kids need to learn before they can master the big skills like sitting, crawling, and walking.

So if your little one is a little late to the next skill - don’t worry! It doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Instead look at what they can do and what they need to learn next.

It will help you worry less, help you focus on all the amazing things they are learning, but also give you ways to play with your child that they will enjoy and learn from!

Learn more on our blog!

Star focusing on the mini milestones!! Not the age that your child should do something.

Hey new parents!

Welcome to Brave Kids Physio! We are a little team making content about play and child development (evidenced based) that is based on the questions and needs of the families and little lion cubs we see.

We hear the many struggles, the many wins, the many tears, and do what we do for the big and little smiles! Because parenting is challenging! Parenting is overwhelming.

But you don’t have to do it alone! If your child is under 5 then this page is for you. Scroll our content for play ideas, send us a DM and ask us anything (no question is silly) or just see who else we were working with in the community (so many amazing services out there!).

Hey! You are doing better than you think!

Does your little one struggle with balance?

Try walking on garden edges, park boundaries, bench seats! It raises them up a little and narrows the walking stance. This means they will slow down and think about their foot placement, practicing their balance every single step!

It’s easy, it’s effective, and will start to help in no time!

We love baby carriers! They allow for bonding time, give you a chance to get things done when Bub is having an extra fussy day, and can even help build neck strength.

But we need you to know one thing (at least).

Your Bub (no matter their age), need to have their legs in an M position, knees higher than hips, for happy healthy hip development!

There are a few other things that can make baby carriers more comfortable for you and Bub. But at least remember that one!

If you have a little one in a baby carrier then this page is made for you! We post daily with tips, developmental info, and must know for the first few years of life. Follow us and stay a while! We would love to have you.

Bub learning to sit?

Remember kids learn by repetition - they more you practise in different ways the stronger they get and the more they learn.

Try different sitting positions throughout the day - some easier and some harder.

Our secret? Look at number 5!

Andi has been busy setting up Brave Kids Physio Brisbane. Which means it was time to stock up on our favourite toys for our therapy sessions - and we thought you might want to see!

Velcro fruit is one of our favourites!! It’s great for fine motor, problem solving and matching skills, but it also can be used so easily in a gross motor skills sessions (think hide and go seek).

Shop for your here. https://bravekidsphysio.com.au/shop/velcro-play-food/

We only recommend toys that we actually use, have tested, and love as part of our recommendations to all the families we see.

Little one using a baby walker? This post is for you!

Most parents we chat to say the same thing…
ā€œMy baby LOVES their walkerā€
And we get it. It keeps them entertained, upright, and gives you a few hands-free minutes šŸ‘

But here’s the part most people don’t realise šŸ‘‡

Baby walkers and jumpers don’t actually help babies learn to walk…
In fact, they can do the opposite.
They can:
• Delay independent walking
• Encourage tip-toe standing and poor movement patterns
• Reduce opportunities to build strength, balance and coordination

The tricky part?
They look like they’re helping… but your baby is being supported in a way that their body isn’t ready for yet. It holds them a semi seated slump position, and does not teach them how to hold weight over their feet. Basically they are sitting in a bar seat that moves.

If you’re using a walker — no guilt we totally get why!
But it might be time to rethink how often (and why).
We’ve broken it all down (including what to use instead) in our latest blog!

Balance for school age kids - how can physio help?

Kids need good balance for so many things in the average school day. They need it to get dressed, move around their classroom and run in the playground. But we need to teach more than just standing on one leg.

Step overs are amazing for improve balance because they:
1. It teaches weight shift from one leg to the other
2. Increases the time standing on one leg whilst moving
3. Teaches foot placement

Use what you’ve got! Build a obstacle course with pool noodles, pillows, shoes, skipping ropes etc. or grab some balance buckets (in our online store).

Need to learn more? Comment Balance and I’ll send you info.

Babies learn through repetition of everyday moments!
So if your little one isn’t rolling yet, try turning your nappy changes into a chance to practice.

It’s simple, effective, and adds up fast.
Save this to try later + follow along for more practical, play-based tips.

The right toys can make a big difference to our physio sessions.

In physio, we use play to build key skills — and the toys we choose help guide that.

From encouraging reaching and rolling…. to building strength for sitting and crawling — it’s all intentional.

Andi walks you through what we use and why.

P.s Oink Oink! Is a toy that your child will love for years!

Jolly jumpers and baby walkers aren’t the best choice. But we get it! Little ones love it! Because they are upright, they can see everything, and they often get claps or smiles back.

But as Physios we don’t recommend them! Read our blog post to find out why, and don’t worry we make other suggestions that your bub will love just as much (and you’ll still get some hands free time!)
