Empowering children starts with the small moments. When we offer choices in everyday tasks, we’re not just giving freedom—we’re nurturing confidence, resilience, and a healthy sense of control. Allowing developmentally appropriate autonomy where we can makes a big difference in how children feel, grow, and navigate their world- especially in play! 🌼

Congratulations to Millie & her family on the safe arrival of her little one this week! ✨

Our name Playtonomy represents two of our core values: play + autonomy.

We believe play is essential to meeting children in their world and speaking their language & allowing children the ability to lead in their time with us facilitates a space that fosters respect and the rights of children.

Additionally, we acknowledge parents are the experts in their own child and we advocate for their autonomy and collaboration in their child’s journey also.

We provide a variety of allied health services including Play & Art Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Early Childhood Intevention and Educational Support, Counselling, Parent coaching, consultations & developmental assessments.

We feel so blessed to witness the positive progress in the lives of so many children and families in our community.

Disciplining our children can be really hard, and it’s often confused with punishment (or vice versa!).

One way to distinguish between the two is to view discipline as a process that often starts with ensuring safety first & then co-regulation. Once our child are in a space to hear, it can be followed by teaching, skill building, and problem solving with our children.

Choosing to avoid punishment doesn’t mean that all behaviours are acceptable, that there are no consequences, or that boundaries and limits aren’t important. Rather, it means our focus shifts toward understanding what skills our child still needs to develop or what need they’re communicating, instead of simply trying to suppress behaviours we find challenging.

This can be particularly hard for us at times as we need to have a deeper understanding of ourselves as parents, our own triggers, & we take more responsibility for our own responses- rather than focusing solely on the behaviour of our child. ✨
