🍎🥕🧀🥬🫐🍠 Feeding therapy promotes a child’s ability to participate in mealtime, safely and without distress! 🍽️ Using a variety of approaches, feeding therapy is often play-based and addresses oral motor skills and/or sensory processing to improve participation and safety during feeding activities.

🍁☔️Fall is here and some days will be too cold or rainy to play outside. 🎶 Movement songs are a great way to practice gross motor skills, expend extra energy, and build body awareness. And they’re fun!

Our favorite YouTube channels for movement songs include:
🌟The Laurie Berkner Band
🌟Go Noodle
🌟The Kiboomers

Their catchy songs get kids moving, stretching, and dancing right in your living room. 🕺🏽🪩💃🏻

🐠Get silly with: “The Goldfish” by Laurie Berkner
🧊Learn body awareness with: “Freeze Dance” by The Kiboomers
🐸Imitate new motor skills with: “Jump like a Frog” by The Kiboomers
🦎Calm the body and mind with: “Salamander Yoga” by Scratch Garden

💡Pro Tip from your PT: Join in! Kids love when grown-ups move with them — it turns screen time into connection time.

At Justabout Pediatric Therapy we love finding creative ways to help kids play, move, and grow — no matter the weather! 💙💚
