Please don't ever think you are doomed to stressful mealtimes with your child for the rest of your life!!

If every bite your child takes feels like a battle, there’s a reason behind it.

Pediatric feeding therapy helps uncover why eating is hard and gently guides children to build trust with food, one small step at a time.

Here are a few ways to support that process at home:

✨Explore food without pressure. Let your child touch, smell, or play with food long before they’re expected to eat it.
✨Make meals low-stress. Involve them in food prep or playful interaction to build comfort and curiosity.
✨Celebrate small wins. Sitting at the table, smelling a new food, or touching it can be huge progress.
✨Stay curious, not forceful. Trust is the foundation. The goal isn’t just eating, it’s feeling safe around food.

Most people think forcing bites is the only solution but it's actually doing more harm than you think.

Does this question sound familiar?

Some children respond differently to the world around them because of how they process sensory input. And not just sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, but also:

• Proprioception (body awareness)
• Vestibular (balance and movement)

When sensory input is either too much or not enough, it can show up as:

❗ Covering ears at normal sounds
❗ Avoiding hugs or messy play
❗ Seeming unaware of their body or surroundings
❗ Constant movement, crashing, or climbing
❗ Intense reactions to small changes or requests

If these patterns are showing up across daily routines (from meals to bedtime) it may be related to Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).

Every child processes input differently. The first step is understanding how their sensory system works, so you can respond with clarity and care.

It’s designed to help you recognize the signs and take supportive next steps at home.

If there is one thing we've learned as a team of pediatric speech therapists, every child is different and so is their speech journey.

Some make quick progress with a few sounds.

Others need longer-term support woven into their daily routines.
And that’s okay.

There’s no single timeline for speech therapy because there’s no "right" way to be a child.

When your toddler gets louder, wilder, or clingier at night, it’s often their nervous system saying: “I don’t know how to slow down.”

Here’s what often doesn’t help a toddler calm down before bed.

🚫 Screens before bed
🚫 Roughhousing right before lights out
🚫 Skipping a routine and hoping for the best

For a smoother bedtime, try these instead.

✨ A short, consistent wind‑down routine
✨ Gentle deep pressure (like hugs, back rubs, or a blanket burrito)
✨ Slow, rhythmic movement (rocking, swaying, rolling a ball)
✨ A calm sensory space. Think low light and soft sounds

These strategies help your child regulate their systems for a better night sleep.

If your evenings feel heavy and unpredictable, let’s make bedtime feel gentler. For both of you!

At Madden Therapy Solutions, we’ve supported children with ADHD to help them:

✨ improve focus and follow-through
✨ reduce emotional outbursts
✨ strengthen self-regulation
✨ gain tools to feel more in control of their body and mind

We’ve taken what works, what we actually see help families day to day, and put it into this blog:

“How to Calm a Child with ADHD Without Medication”

You’ll find:

✔️ Simple nervous system strategies
✔️ Calming routines that make sense in real life

Trying to help your toddler talk but unsure what actually works?

The earlier you support speech, the better the outcomes tend to be.

Waiting too long or using strategies that don’t match how toddlers actually learn can lead to more frustration (for both of you).

You don’t need fancy toys, flashcards, or complicated routines. The most effective tools are often the simplest and they fit right into your everyday life.

After 17 years supporting families with speech therapy, these are 7 strategies we teach again and again inside therapy that feels like playtime.

Swipe through to learn 7 strategies (like why 'narrating' works better than 'quizzing').

To learn more about these strategies, read the full blog "How to Help My Toddler Talk" at the link in our bio.

Trying to decide how to pay for your child’s therapy?

It’s a big decision and one that can directly impact how quickly and effectively your child gets support.

Here’s what most families don’t realize until they’re weeks into the process:

Insurance often comes with high deductibles, copays, and hidden limits that can make therapy just as expensive (if not more) than paying directly.

That’s why Madden Therapy operates as a private-pay practice.

Not because we don’t believe in insurance...

We believe the person deciding your child’s care should be you and your therapist, not an insurance company.

Private pay gives you:

✨ Freedom to start when you decide
✨ Therapy plans built around your child, not diagnosis codes
✨ Flexibility in where and how sessions happen
✨ A consistent, relationship-driven approach that grows with your family

Still have questions about whether private pay is the right fit?

If your child seems constantly on edge, always moving, or easily overwhelmed, their sensory system might need extra support.

One of the simplest, therapist-recommended ways to help kids regulate?
Intentional play positions.

These are more than just “how” your child sits or moves, they support core strength, postural control, and calming attention during play and transitions.

Try these during playtime, before seated tasks, or as a reset after big feelings:

✨Criss Cross: Legs tucked in, upright posture
✨All Fours: On hands and knees, head lifted
✨Stomach Lying: Propped on elbows for core engagement
✨Tall Kneel: Hips over knees — great for reaching or building
✨Side Lying: On one side, elbow under shoulder — promotes coordination and grounding

Small shifts like this can make a big difference in your child’s ability to focus, stay calm, and feel more in control of their body.

So what is pediatric occupational therapy?

Pediatric OT helps children build the skills they need for everyday life. Whether they have a diagnosis or you just notice daily tasks feel harder than they should.

It supports skills like:

🧠 Emotional regulation
🖐️ Fine motor skills (writing, cutting, using utensils)
🚿 Sensory processing (tolerating textures, sounds, grooming)
👟 Independence with daily routines (dressing, feeding, transitions)
🤸‍♂️ Strength & coordination for play and movement

Therapists use fun, play‑based activities to strengthen these skills in ways that feel safe, motivating, and child‑led.

At Madden Therapy, we partner with your child and YOU because confident kids start with supported parents.

✨ Diagnosis or not, if daily life feels harder than it should, OT can help.

Schedule a free 15-minute call with a licensed therapist to see if occupational therapy is right for your family.

Company History & Philosphy

Established in 2017.

I worked for over 10 years in the hospital setting, both inpatient and outpatient, serving many different types of patients. When I decided to transition to private practice, I was one of the lead feeding therapists at a local children's hospital training incoming staff on evaluation and treatment of feeding/swallowing and speech-language disorders. I established this practice in 2017 with the goal of bringing more personal, customized service to my patients and their families. I am deeply proud to have personal contact and involvement with every member of the Madden Therapy Solutions "family," and to be invited into their homes and their lives. Every member of my staff has been hand-picked by me to ensure that the quality of the care every patient receives is exceptional, and that every therapist shares the same philosophy and devotion to personal attention, genuine caring, and incredible service. Madden Therapy Solutions looks forward to helping your child and your family in any way possible!
