Look at the differences between a typical younger child’s hand (left) and a typical older child's hand (right). I have parents asking regularly why their preschool aged child isn’t able to write yet. This is why! Their hands (and brains) are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc. All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready!

“Tension within this fascial network can restrict the tongue’s range of motion, creating challenges that manifest as breastfeeding difficulties, discomfort, and inadequate milk transfer.⁣
⁣
Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in addressing these neuromuscular tensions. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can relieve tightness and restore normal function by focusing on the fascia, cranial bones, and soft tissues that connect to the tongue. This non-invasive approach targets the root causes of some feeding dysfunction, providing a vital step before considering surgical interventions such as frenectomy.”⁣
⁣
The benefits of a collaborative care model for addressing breastfeeding challenges can’t be overemphasized! A holistic, multidisciplinary approach that supports infants over the long-term can include lactation consultants, pediatric chiropractors and pediatric dentists. By targeting root causes rather than symptoms, this model provides tailored, effective solutions for feeding issues, often avoiding invasive interventions. ⁣

"Play is really the work of childhood." 💚 This quote from Fred Rogers is everything.

When kids play, they’re learning in ways that books alone can’t teach. Outside, they explore, create, and grow with every stick, stone, and splash. 🌿

Let’s give them the freedom to make nature their classroom!
