Is your child’s ‘bad’ behavior at school a sign your child needs support? If your child is frequently over physical (biting, pinching, pushing, hitting), has troubles with transitions, is very in-flexible with the schedule, had a hard time waiting or taking turns, or is constantly touching things (peers, toys, walls, ect) - then you are going to want to reach out to an OT for some support.

Learn more about these behaviors & how to get support for your child at school on our blog!

Connect with your child by getting down on their level & holding space for them. You can hold their hand, or just simply exist in their presence. Keep a calm demeanor & just be with them. Have questions about using co regulation to help your child manage their big emotions? Reach out to us! We’d love to help.

Moving for Success: Our Story

Hello! I’m Michaelene Kearney and I’m the founding OT behind Children In Motion. I grew up in the Chicago area- Lombard, IL. I have three girls, three pups, and believe you can never have too much wine! I founded CIM because I love enabling children to be their best selves. It’s our mission at Children In Motion to empower children to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities. I love getting to know every child I work with and being able to problem solve solutions with them and their families.

As you can see, pictured above with me is one of my pups, Sadie, who I trained to be CIM’s very own therapy dog. She comes to my gym once a week and also is a huge part of our reading program Bark Buddies. Want to know more about us? Go check out our website at www.childreninmotion.com
