If your baby went straight from sitting to walking, you’re not alone, and it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.
Crawling helps build strength, coordination, and brain-body connection. When it’s skipped, some children may need extra support later, and that’s okay. Awareness is the first step.

Not all kids who won’t eat are just “picky.”
Some children are picky eaters who need time and exposure.�Others are problem feeders who need extra support with sensory, motor, or emotional challenges around food.
Knowing the difference matters because pressure doesn’t fix feeding struggles, support does.
✨ Eating is a skill.�✨ Progress can look like touching, smelling, or tolerating food on the plate.
�👉 Reach out if you’re worried your child may need feeding support..

Not talking yet? 💛
That doesn’t mean communication isn’t happening.

Before first words, many children communicate through eye contact, sounds, gestures, and understanding. These early skills are meaningful, and they matter.

Swipe through to see the signs that communication is developing 👀➡️
All progress counts, even when it doesn’t look like words yet.

If you’re wondering whether your child could benefit from extra support, we’re here to help.
✨ Play-based. Child-led. Connection first.

Some kids don’t struggle with listening, they struggle with sitting still.�And that’s not misbehavior.
For many children, movement helps their bodies feel organized and their brains stay focused. When we support their sensory needs, we give them a better chance to learn, participate, and succeed.
✨ Movement is communication.�
✨ Support the body to support attention.

Play isn’t just fun, it’s one of the most powerful ways young children learn language. 💬✨

Through play, children build vocabulary, practice sounds, learn turn-taking, and strengthen social connection. When you follow your child’s lead, model simple language, sing songs, or read together, you’re supporting speech and language development in a natural, joyful way.

If you have questions about your child’s speech, language, or play skills, our therapists are here to help.

Does your child struggle with loud sounds, certain textures, or everyday routines like brushing teeth or trying new foods?

These challenges may be related to sensory processing difficulties. Sensory differences can impact behavior, emotions, and participation in daily life but support makes a difference. 💙

At Columbia Pediatric Therapy, our occupational therapists help children explore their senses, build regulation skills, and feel more confident navigating the world through play-based, evidence-informed care.
