As an Occupational Therapist I see so many parents who have the best intentions but their actions are actually holding back their child's potential. Children learn the best through own experiences and having a safe environment in which they can explore. The best gift that you can give to your child is for them to feel safe enough to try new things, to jump into a new adventure knowing that if they need you, you are there.

So in short this is my reminder to all parents to allow children to explore, make mistakes, take risks because the rewards for them will be so much more when they accomplish something on their own.

Activities to help stimulate your child when they are 3 months old. 👶🏼👶🏻👶🏿👶🏽

They might be able to hold objects for a few seconds. So go ahead and place toys of different materials in their hands, like a rattle or a crinkly toy. Watch out for their reaction when it makes a noise.

If you already tried a baby gym and your newborn didn’t like it, try again. Chances are they start enjoying it more now.

Read to your baby, every day. It will help with their language development.

Place toys in front of your baby’s face and let them reach for it. This will actually help develop their hand-eye coordination.

World Mental Health Awareness Day

It is important to remember that the "poster child" for individuals who struggle with mental health does not exist.

I purposefully chose a cheerful picture for this post because I wanted to stress the fact that Mental Health is something that is NOT seen.

To whomever needs to hear this: you are NOT a BURDEN, you are NOT ALONE, you are CAPABLE, you are WANTED, you are SPECIAL.

I take great delight and pride in introducing my new business venture.

Over the past few years I have been able to work with and learn from some of the greatest giants in the Occupational Therapy field. The current COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges however, it has also opened up opportunities for SimplifyOT to grow without limits.

I cannot wait to share my passion for paediatrics with the world and to make a difference in all my little lion cubs' lives.
