You’re hearing more than a mother’s voice — you’re hearing years of quiet sacrifice, spoken through joy.
Behind that laughter are sleepless nights, silent tears, and whispered prayers.

She’s not just cheering him on — she’s speaking love into motion, turning fear into faith, and pain into progress.

Every word she says carries a story of strength, a thousand ‘try agains,’ and a heart that refuses to give up.

This is what love sounds like when it never stops believing.

For every parent who keeps showing up — even when no one’s watching — this is for you ❤️

Struggling to get your child to practice handwriting or do “boring” fine motor tasks? Try this instead.

Freeze their favorite mini toys into ice cubes and hand them a spoon, syringe, or spray bottle.
Every squeeze, pour, and scrape helps strengthen the same tiny hand muscles used for writing — but in a way that feels like play, not work!

💡 OT secret: kids learn best when they’re having fun.
So next time you hear “I don’t want to!”, just say… “Let’s go rescue the toys!”

Save this for your next playtime or session and don't forget to follow along for more.

Your baby doesn’t like tummy time? Don’t give up!

It’s completely normal for little ones to fuss at first. Being on their tummy is hard work!  But every minute helps build strength for rolling, crawling, and sitting.
 
Try mixing it up with different tummy time positions to help your baby feel more comfortable. Little changes can make a big difference!
 
Want to know more about the importance of tummy time, how long tummy time should be, and when to seek support if your concerned about your baby’s progress? Our latest resource on our website is written by our paediatric physiotherapist and covers all the essentials.

How lucky are we to have a job that lets us make such a difference in people’s lives — to help them find strength, purpose, and independence through the everyday things that truly matter.

How lucky are we to witness courage every single day — in our clients who push through challenges, adapt, and grow, and in ourselves as we walk beside them, problem-solve, and celebrate every small victory.

How lucky are we to do work that’s both heart and science — where compassion meets creativity, and every day brings a new opportunity to make life more meaningful.

This OT Week, we celebrate not just what we do, but why we do it.

How’s your engine running today?

In OT, we explored how our mouths can help us find our “just right” speed.

Need to speed up?
Crunchy or chewy foods like carrots or pretzels can wake up our sensory system — perfect for boosting focus and alertness!

Need to slow down?
Try blowing through a straw, pinwheel, or bubbles. Controlled exhalation helps calm and organise the body — bringing that “engine” back to just right.

These oral motor activities come from the alert program® – how does your engine run?, created by OTs Sherry Shellenberger and Mary Sue Williams, helping kids (and adults!) learn to understand and regulate their alert levels for everyday success.

Regulation starts with awareness — and the right tools make all the difference. Follow along for more sensory tips and therapy inspiration.

Does your child find it hard to hold a pencil?

Here’s a simple yet powerful trick used by occupational therapists to encourage the tripod grasp — the ideal way to hold a pencil using the thumb, index, and middle fingers.

How to do it:
1. Place a small object (like a marble, coin, or cotton ball) in your child’s palm.
2. Ask them to hold it in place using their ring finger and pinky, and remind them, “Don’t let it fall!”
3. Now, have them pick up their pencil and write or draw as usual.

By keeping those two fingers busy, the hand naturally positions itself for the tripod grasp, strengthening fine motor control and improving hand stability. Over time, this helps your child develop the muscle memory needed for a more confident, controlled pencil grip — without frustration or constant reminders.

Bonus tip:
Use fun items — like a small pom-pom or bead — and turn it into a game (“Let’s see if you can write a whole word without dropping it!”). Making it playful increases motivation and practice time!

Save this for your next home practice of or therapy session !
