🍴Parent Tip: Building fine motor skills can start right at the family table! 🍴
Encourage your child to:
✅ Use tongs to serve veggies
✅ Peel fruit
✅ Pour water carefully
✅ Wipe the table with both hands
Every small task builds coordination, strength, and independence. 💪

Big emotions. Short attention spans. Tough transitions. Sound familiar?
Our Sensory Motor Learning program gives kids the tools to plan, focus, and self-regulate through fun, movement-based occupational therapy.

Every session strengthens the brain’s and body's “thinking muscles” — improving attention, working memory, and impulse control.

“Think it. Plan it. Do it.” — that’s executive function in action!

Reading & Movement Are Tied Together!!
👀 The same eye control that helps a child catch a ball helps them track letters across a page.
Balance and movement literally build reading readiness.
So yes — recess is learning time!
More Recess!

Is your child always on the move, easily frustrated, or struggling to focus?
We get it — and we can help.

Our evidence-based Sensory-Motor & Energy Regulation Learning program combines occupational therapy, movement science, and play to help children find their calm, build control, and thrive at home and school.

❤️ We help kids move better, feel better, and live brighter. ❤️

🍂 The best sensory gym? The backyard.
Every leaf, rock, and breeze builds sensory awareness and focus.
Try this mini-adventure:
🌳 Collect 5 textures (smooth, rough, soft…)
👀 Play “I Spy” for shapes or colors
💪 Carry a bucket of pinecones
👂 Listen for 3 sounds in nature
You just turned a walk into therapy! 🌿

At Brighten Pediatric Therapy, movement is everything — it’s how the brain grows.
Our sensory-motor and energy regulation programs helps your kids focus, stay calm, and connect by strengthening the brain-body link through purposeful play.

From balance beams to scooters to cross-body games — every guided movement helps build a stronger foundation for attention, learning, and confidence.

Because when kids move WITH PURPOSE, they think, feel, and function better.

When your kids feel overwhelmed, their body craves safety and security. Deep pressure input helps calm the body and feels safe. Pushing, pulling, lifting — this “heavy work” activates the proprioceptive system and tells the brain: You’re safe.

Try at home:
🧺 Push a laundry basket
🚪 Wall push-ups
🐸 Frog jumps
🏗️ Carry groceries

Movement regulates emotions better than words ever can.
