🚗💭 How does your child’s “engine” run today? Just like cars, kids have internal engines. Sometimes they’re running too fast, sometimes too slow, and sometimes JUST RIGHT! 👇

🚦 Fast engine: lots of energy, might feel excited or distracted
🐢 Slow engine: tired or low energy, hard to focus
🌟 Just-right engine: calm, alert, and ready to go!

Finding that “just-right” engine helps with better learning, working, and even playing! 🎯
Occupational therapists use this to help people, kids and adults alike, notice how they’re feeling and choose the best strategies to shift their engine to the right speed.🤝

💬 Let’s hear from you!
👇 What helps your child get their engine “just right”? Share in the comments!

The holidays invite us to slow down and give ourselves grace. In occupational therapy, we’re reminded daily that progress isn’t about speed; it’s about showing up, trying again, and taking one small step at a time.
