This week, we're ready for our brave food explorers to tackle Valentine's Day themed red foods! ❤🍓🍅

At Children's Theraplay, we use a combination of approaches that help build the underlying sensory and motor skills needed for feeding to be more successful. We use play-based, curious, gradual exploration of food to present a just-right challenge. By respecting boundaries while we work on underlying skills, we develop a safe space for your child to take more risks with food.

Is it "bad behavior"? Or is it trauma?

When a child doesn't have the words to communicate the impact of stress, their nervous system can speak through their behavior. Trauma isn't always a major, obvious, physical incident. It can simply be another word for stress - how the body and nervous system respond when stress feels too big to manage.

At Children's Theraplay, we use a trauma-informed model of occupational and physical therapy to address sensory processing challenges and emotional dysregulation. By understanding how the autonomic nervous system responds to stressors, we can use purposeful games and exercises to facilitate a more optimal, balanced state for learning and play. If your child seems more reactive or sensitive to stress, whether you know what the trigger is or not, talk with your child's therapist. Together we can explore strategies to help your child find support, safety, and regulation.
