WildFree Kids OT

Free play in nature is our favorite!

Nature doesn’t just nurture—it restores.

When kids play freely outdoors, they build strength, calm their minds, and fill their hearts. Let’s make space for more of those moments that heal and inspire!

This is so good! When working to help children through these issues, it’s helpful to reflect on our own sensory needs, challenges and experiences.
Recall a time you had food poisoning, for example, and how long it took you to consume or even be able to be near that food or similar again! What about being sick and just seeing food (on tv or in person, for example) and the visceral reaction to it causing issues. Every difference deserves respect and dignity. We’re proud to be providers of this curriculum!

WildFree Wednesday!
We are proud to be part of this community! This event was so much fun. We absolutely loved getting to play with the children and talk to their adults. Connections are essential for community.

Sharing this super duper early because we’re already seeing the “children shouldn’t have to carry a blue pumpkin around for people to be kind” and reminding everyone that the “blue” pumpkins and the Teal Pumpkin Project are not the same.
They’ve become conflated and mean different things. Children were never supposed to carry around the teal pumpkin, it was to alert trick or treaters that this location has allergy friendly items to avoid contamination, as food allergies can be deadly. Please check out the website for more info! We will be sharing resources here soon! Keep checking back for more info.

WildFree Wednesday!!
Being trauma informed *AND* responsive is very important when working with diverse populations. Knowing the difference between the “just right challenge” and pushing someone too far is essential and could mean the difference of being therapeutic or re-traumatizing.
We’ve been using the TECA (Trauma Expression and Connection Assessment) for 3 years now, and it’s served us and our families well. We’re better able to understand trauma/stress responses and how to provide psycho educational information to caregivers and help children regulate.
(🤗 ps- we’ve been saying (and practising!!) some of this for ages! Before it was popular or mainstream)
