25.01.2022 Sensory overload ... not discussed as often and as open as we would about our childrens needs/sensitivities . But I can definitely relate to a lot of these. Triggered more by quarantine too!

25.01.2022 #lookingbeyondlabels #mindfulparent

23.01.2022 Had to share this hack I saw!! How cool.. Im sure we all have some barrel of Monkeys lying around!! To keep the elastic off those ears when wearing our masks

16.01.2022 Woohoo bring on Spring and September deals!!

14.01.2022 Yep! So important to do this regularly !

14.01.2022 Emotion masks!! Trying to bring a bit of enjoyment into a current challenging situation ... Ive had fun making a felt mask today with interchangeable mouths!! Im thinking since we arent allowed to touch the front of our masks, that this may go on one of Branching Outs soft toys!! Emotional regulation is such a big part of OT, paying attention to facial features, mouth, eyes so important for identifying HOW we or others are feeling.. building on social skills if we can interpret WHAT others may be thinking and feeling...ALL of this is reduced by the wearing of a mask.

I have been thinking about how I can still keep in touch with you all and also encourage you and your child to continue towards your OT goals. Although these may not be our typical/individualised goals for your child ... it’s definitely every ...child’s Occupation and one in which all our goals are embedded : PLAY !!

03.01.2022 I really wanted to share this image... but needed to EDIT it and add some OT intervention ideas in red ... As part of my Sensory Tool chest for clients (which highlights individualised activity ideas) to support overall emotional and self regulation I outline the importance of these on happy/positive hormone production and our aim to decrease the stress/fight flight hormones adrenaline /cortisol ... A simple graphic to apply AND it mentions essential oils #lifeskillsforkids Click on image for more info
