Behind the Scenes: Sand tray Therapy 🏖️

Our sand tray is one of the most loved resources in the therapy room. Children use it to build scenes, tell stories, and express feelings in a safe and creative way.
Sand tray therapy allows kids to show us what’s happening in their inner world, sometimes things that can be hard to put into words.

✨ It’s amazing how a tray of sand and some mini-figures can open up a whole new way of communicating!

🐍 Therapy Toolbox: Snake Breathing! 🐍

Deep breathing doesn’t have to be boring — let’s make it hiss-tastic! 😄
Snake breathing is a playful way for little ones to learn how to calm their bodies and minds. 🧘‍♀️💚

Here’s how to try it at home:
1️⃣ Sit comfortably
2️⃣ Breathe in through your nose for 4 counts
3️⃣ Hold for 2 counts
4️⃣ Exhale with a long, slithery “sssssss” — just like a snake! 🐍
5️⃣ Pause… then go again!

How long can you make your snake sound last? 😁

💪 Gross Motor Fun for Little Muscles! 💪
(Toddlers & Preschoolers Edition)

Building core strength isn’t just about fitness — it’s about helping little ones develop balance, coordination, and body awareness for everyday skills like sitting, running, climbing and even handwriting later on! 🧠✨

Here are some playful ways to strengthen those core muscles at home:
🐻 Crawling Games: Crawl through tunnels, under chairs, or over cushions and pillows!
🐸 Animal Walks: Try bear walks, crab walks, frog jumps or inchworms — kids love pretending!
🧍‍♀️ Wheelbarrow Walks: Support their hips or ankles while they walk on their hands.
🚣 Row Your Boat: Sit facing each other, hold hands and rock back and forth together.
🛹 Scooter Board Play: Lying on their tummy and using arms to push — great arm and core workout!
🧘 Kids Yoga: Try fun poses like plank, bridge, boat, or downward dog.
Simple, silly and strength-building — the best kind of play! 😄💛

💛 Emotion Coaching: Connecting Through Big Feelings 💛

When children experience strong emotions, they rely on us to help them navigate the moment. Emotion coaching gives us a calm, supportive framework to guide them through:

👀 Attend to the emotion
Approach the situation calmly and acknowledge that an emotion is present.

🗣️ Name it
Put words to the feeling — “It looks like you’re feeling angry/sad/worried…”

🤝 Validate the emotion
Let them know their feelings are real and understandable — all feelings are okay!

💛 Meet the emotional need
Offer what they need in the moment — comfort, a break, a cuddle, deep breaths together.

🧩 Problem solve
Earlier steps often reduce the intensity of the emotion, so this step may not always be needed.

Using these steps helps children feel seen, supported, and more capable of managing their emotions. 🌱✨

We are excited to be welcoming Adele in January 2026!!

Adele completed her Bachelor of Art Therapy at Western Sydney University in 2023 and is registered with The Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ANZACATA). She has over four years of experience working creatively with children and young people. Over the past two years, she has been supporting children and adolescents on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which has deepened her passion for helping young people navigate emotional, social, and psychological challenges. Adele completed her final placement at Westmead Children’s Hospital in the Department of Adolescent Medicine and Mental Health Sector, where she developed her skills in trauma-informed practice.

Adele loves working with children and adolescents using art psychotherapy. She believes art and creativity give young people space to express themselves when words feel hard to find. Her focus is on helping clients build emotional regulation, social skills, and enhanced general wellbeing through creative exploration.

As a neurodiversity affirming therapist, Adele centres her work around each young person’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. She has trained in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and neurodivergent approaches to work respectfully and effectively with all her clients. She uses different art materials and techniques depending on what works best for each person, meeting them where they are on the day. Adele aims to create a safe, relaxed space where clients can explore, experiment, and grow at their own pace.

Outside of work, Adele enjoys creativity, taking her dog to the beach, playing board games, and spending time in nature.

This week we will be contacting clients on our current waitlist for art psychotherapy services to offer new therapy spots with Adele, commencing 6th January 2026. If you would like to refer your child for art psychotherapy services with Adele, please complete the enquiry form on our website https://www.kidsinspired.com.au/contact
