This week in OT: we’re celebrating Valentines Day! 💌 The kids are using their printing skills to create Valentine’s Day cards for someone of their choosing. I’m always inspired by to go with a good theme! Swipe to the second picture to see one of my favourite tricks for helping kids develop their pincer grasp while decreasing frustration with stickers - peel off the background sticker to make it easier for kids struggling to get those stickers off!

Two posts in one week! Is this how influencers live?!? This week in OT sessions, we’re targeting fine motor precision: kids printing and drawing on tissue paper with small pencils! ✏️

Small pencils (like golf size pencils) fit tiny hands perfectly and help build better habits right from the start.

Tissue paper requires precise pressure control, strengthening intrinsic hand muscles, arches, and pincer grasp for better pencil control and handwriting readiness.

The kids particularly find it funny when I rip the paper while demonstrating how to do it - adults need help too 🤣.

Oscar (my dog) is enjoying my new home office… though he wonders why I’m sitting here working and not throwing his ball.

Feeling so grateful for this incredible artwork created after my session at the Back to School Conference, hosted by the amazing Jayson Davies from OT Schoolhouse.

It captures such an important truth: Co-regulation builds interoception, and interoception builds self-regulation. When we shift from compliance-based approaches to interoception-based support, we foster curiosity, connection, and body trust.

Everyone’s experience is valid, and that’s where real growth happens. Thank you to everyone who joined me in exploring how interoception helps us notice, understand, and care for our bodies in affirming ways.
