🧺 Laundry baskets aren’t just for clothes! 🧺

This week, we’re kicking off our series on using everyday things at home to support your child’s development. 🌟 Laundry baskets can be a great way to build strength, coordination, and body awareness while having fun at home.

Here are a few playful ideas to try:

🚗 Push or pull the basket across the floor with towels or toys inside. This helps build upper body and core strength while working on coordination and motor planning. Turn it into a “delivery game” where your child drops off clean clothes or teddies in different rooms.

🎯 Use the basket as a target and throw in soft toys or rolled-up socks. This supports hand-eye coordination and visual-motor skills while keeping things playful.

Everyday routines like laundry can easily become opportunities for play, movement, and learning. Stay tuned for our next everyday item you can use at home to support your child’s development. ✨

✍️ Professional Development in Action!

OTs Elke and Emily spent two days diving deep into functional writing with Lisa Scott. They explored evidence-based approaches for supporting fine motor and handwriting skill development in mainstream kindergarten and primary school children.

A big thank you to Zi Mei Events, Lisa Scott, and everyone involved for such an insightful and practical workshop! We’re excited to bring these new strategies back to our sessions 💛

Big thanks to Gabby and James for the thoughtful gifts. Our cup cupboard has never looked better ☕✨

We’re starting a new series all about using everyday things at home to support your child’s development. You don’t need fancy equipment, just a little creativity and what you already have around the house. 💛

Here are a few simple ideas to try:
🧺 Laundry baskets for pushing, pulling, or sorting clothes to build strength and coordination.
✏️ Paper and crayons for drawing or tracing to strengthen fine motor and pencil control skills.
🧱 Blocks, Lego, or containers for stacking and building to boost imagination and problem-solving.
🥄 Kitchen tools like tongs, spoons, or cups for scooping and pouring to develop hand skills.

Small, everyday moments of play at home can make a big difference in your child’s development 🌟

Continuing Our Professional Development Journey ✨

We’re continuing our learning journey on how to best support teenagers as they navigate this important stage of life. Adolescence can bring new challenges and opportunities, and our team is building on our previous PD to deepen our understanding and strategies.

We’ve been exploring ways to help teens strengthen executive functioning, emotional regulation, and life skills, empowering them to feel more confident, independent, and capable in their everyday lives. 💛
