Mealtimes shouldn’t feel like a battle. Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) can show up as more than “picky eating.” It may look like sensory overwhelm, difficulty chewing or swallowing, tantrums at meals, or challenges transitioning to solid foods.

These signs are not about stubbornness or parenting mistakes; they’re signals that a child needs support with feeding skills, regulation, and confidence.

Occupational Therapy helps children build safe, positive relationships with food while supporting independence at mealtimes 🌱

If this resonates, save this post, share it with a parent who needs it, and follow for OT-backed guidance and family-centred care.

Impulsivity isn’t defiance... it’s a skill still developing.

In children, impulsivity can show up as:
⚡ Blurting out answers
⚡ Struggling to wait or take turns
⚡ Risk-taking without thinking things through
⚡ Acting out for attention
⚡ Difficulty following rules or boundaries

These behaviors are often signs that a child’s executive functioning and self-regulation systems need support... not punishment.

Occupational Therapy helps children slow their bodies, build awareness, and learn strategies to pause, plan, and respond more successfully in daily life.

When a child is dysregulated, it’s not “bad behavior”... it’s communication.

Dysregulation happens when a child’s nervous system is overwhelmed. What we see on the outside (meltdowns, withdrawal, fidgeting, defiance) is often a sign that their body needs support, not punishment.

Common signs of dysregulation can look like:
🌧️ Big emotions or sudden mood changes
💥 Physical tension, restlessness, rapid breathing
🚨 Behaviors like hitting, screaming, shutting down, or running away

What helps most in these moments:
🤍 Staying calm and present
🤍 Offering deep pressure or sensory input
🤍 Using simple, gentle language
🤍 Creating a quiet, safe space to reset

At Nurture Collective, we support children by helping them build regulation skills from the inside out, through connection, sensory strategies, and Occupational Therapy.

Save this for those tough moments 🤍

Visual perception is how the brain makes sense of what the eyes see. It plays a huge role in everyday skills like reading, writing, puzzles, copying from the board, getting dressed, and even navigating busy environments.

When visual perception is challenging, kids may struggle with things like:
✨ Remembering what they’ve seen
✨ Noticing differences in shapes, letters, or numbers
✨ Following sequences and patterns
✨ Finding items in cluttered spaces
✨ Staying visually focused

The good news? These skills can be supported and strengthened with the right strategies and Occupational Therapy support.

If you’re noticing these challenges in your child, you’re not alone and help is available. Save this post, share it with another parent, and follow Nurture Collective for practical OT-backed guidance.

Occupational Therapy is sol much more than “fine motor skills” or “playtime.” OT supports the everyday skills that help children feel confident, regulated, and successful in their world.

Here are just some of the many areas an OT may support your child with:
🧠 Motor planning
💛 Regulation + sensory processing
🧼 Self-care routines
✏️ Fine + visual motor skills
🍽️ Feeding skills + nutrition
🎈 Play + social participation

And beyond that, OT can also support: handwriting, attention, transitions, emotional regulation, bilateral coordination, visual perception, praxis, postural control, self-advocacy… and so much more.

If you're curious about how Occupational Therapy can support your child, Nurture Collective is here to help, whether in person or through telehealth. 💚
