Many parents are told their child’s leg pain is ā€œjust growing pains.ā€
Sometimes that’s true. But sometimes it’s not the full story. Growing pains usually come and go, often happen at night, and shouldn’t stop your child from running, playing sport, or walking normally.

If your child has pain that keeps coming back, causes limping, or is stopping them from doing the activities they love, it’s worth looking into further.

We’ve written a full guide explaining what growing pains are, why they happen, when to be concerned, and what can actually help.

Head to our blog to read the full article.

Learning to walk, is a big milestone, that’s stressful for parents, and challenging for kids.

So to make learning to walk easier for everyone, we encourage all our families to focus on the ā€œmini milestonesā€ of walking. These mini milestones are all the key skills a little one needs to learn BEFORE they are walking.

These mini milestones build the strength, balance and coordination needed for walking.

These small skills include things like pulling to stand, cruising along furniture, squatting to pick up toys and standing without holding on. Each one helps your child practise shifting weight, controlling their body and balancing on their feet.

At Brave Kids Physio, we teach parents these mini milestones because they give you simple, practical ways to support your child’s development during everyday play. When you know what skill comes next, you can turn playtime into powerful learning moments.

Bub’s cruising but not walking yet?
ā€œStuck in standingā€ is common. Not a technical term but that’s what I like to call it. This means it is time to build strength, balance & confidence!
Try: crawling up stairs, high kneeling games, crouch & squat, reach behind, sit to stands.
Which one will you try first? Save for playtime!

Is your baby’s neck tight?

If you’re reading this, it’s probably because your little one is only looking to one side. This is often due to torticollis. I’ve written all about it in a helpful blog, so check that later. BUT first… do this at home!

1ļøāƒ£ Sneaky stretches.
2ļøāƒ£ Teach head turning – track a toy or your face from left to right (one side will be harder)
3ļøāƒ£ Side-lying play – builds neck strength and helps them hold their head in the middle
4ļøāƒ£ Tummy time – make it fun and easy! This builds strength for head control and midline posture

Worried? See us if:
• You notice a flat spot on their head
• Feeding is difficult
• Tummy time is very upsetting or they can’t lift head in the middle
• They can’t look at a toy both sides
Spend less time worrying and head to our blog for evidence-based physio advice.

Term 1 is busy… school, therapy, sport.

So we always keep a few simple toys in the car that we can pull out anywhere.

The best part?
They’re not just toys — they’re building strength, balance and coordination through play.

As physios, we’re always looking for easy ways to sneak movement into the day..

and this term these are our favourites.

Toe walking can mean daily exercises, lots of stretching, lot’s of battles between child and parents!

Try this simple trick to include exercises in play! Trust us - it’s way easier to get more stretching in.

If your baby isn’t crawling yet, we get it. It can be stressful.

Crawling isn’t just about getting onto hands & knees — it’s about learning how to move there.

So my top tip? Don’t just place bub in position. Use play to guide reaching, pivoting, and moving in and out of the position.

By showing them there is purpose of moving, that it allows them to play, they are more motivated and will try themselves. Then BINGO! Practice makes me perfect.

Got a question about crawling? Comment below and I’ll send you to the right info so you can learn more!
