22.01.2022 If you have a few minutes, have a read. This is a lovely summary of the basis of many programs that we offer at Cocoon. Such an important foundation for our children’s interactions, experiences and wellbeing https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au//teach-kids-emotional-in

20.01.2022 Somehow, the end of the year is just around the corner and we've found ourselves in full swing planning for 2021 We are once again very excited to be offering our small group programs facilitated by our wonderful therapists and assistants in the January school holidays We have two small group programs on offer:... - One for those of you with little poppets, to help ready and prepare them for the exciting start to their 2021 school year AND - One for those of you with bigger kids, to fuel them with flexible thinking, resilience, and confidence, ready to kick off 2021 with a bang For any further information, or to register your child for one of our group programs, please phone us on 0499 223 773

19.01.2022 They might be our ‘little’ ones, but they sure do experience ‘big’ emotions! Some great tips in this article. Tips we use a lot when discussing emotional awareness and regulation. Calming, connection, validation and reflection. We can be their emotion coach and teach them valuable skills for life ... https://www.firstfiveyears.org.au//teaching-under5s-about-

17.01.2022 In celebration of National Children’s week and keeping with the theme of friendships, we thought we’d ask some of our little super heroes what they think makes a good friend. Here are some of their pearls of wisdom: A good friend is someone who helps me, is kind and I can have fun with. Someone I can dig with.... Being nice and friendly. Playing good games and being fair. Friends should help each other when they get hurt. Kindness and happiness and being helpful. Playing and being kind. Someone who will share the purple paint with you. Someone who is kind and listens to you. At least one whole day of bonding and having fun and you become friends. Kindness and knowing lots about each other. Have fun. Help each other. Playing Mum’s and Dad’s, riding bikes together, using gentle hands, and helping each other feel brave. We couldn’t have summed friendship up better if we tried We’d love to hear what all the little people in your lives find important in friendship

13.01.2022 Well we’ve had a very busy couple of weeks! We are now all settled in to our new and exciting home We hope those of you that have already visited us are enjoying it as much as we are It’s been so busy, that we haven’t yet had the chance to introduce you to our newest superstars - Meet Karli and Carly (yep, it’s confusing for us too!) ... Karli and Carly tick all the boxes when it comes to Allied Health Assistants! They bring extensive skills to our team; including many years in childcare, education, and business sectors, in community and youth program development, and the list goes on! Their organisational skills (and their muscles!) have helped us get up and running at our new premises in no time! They are well equipped to assist us in continuing to deliver quality therapy services to the children and families in our local region. We are so happy to have them

13.01.2022 Birthday’s done right at Cocoon! Happy Birthday Chloe (Amazing work Bronnie!)

12.01.2022 A nice read. The brain is such an amazing organ This is one of the reasons we love our early intervention work with children and families so much The brain is primed and ready, synapses are firing, and learning is rife! We love the message of encouraging breadth of skill development over depth too encourage your little ones interest in a wide range of areas to help them grow into well-rounded, creative, and adaptive individuals https://www.edutopia.org//why-ages-2-7-matter-so-much-brai

06.01.2022 And that’s a wrap for the Cocoon Paediatrics team for 2020! What a year! As many have experienced this year, we’ve had some great highs and some major curveballs come our way throughout 2020. At every turn, our incredible team has stepped up, faced challenges head on, and gone above and beyond. We cannot thank them enough We truly are so very grateful for those of you that have stood by our side, cheered us on, and trusted us with your family and precious little people. ...We have been so lucky to see so many children kicking big goals this year, and we couldn’t be more proud of them From our family to yours- we hope you are able to enjoy time with special people, find peace in the tough moments, be grateful for what you have, be kind and generous in your interactions with others, and love what matters Merry Christmas! We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year *Cocoon Paediatrics will be closed for a break with our families. We will reopen for business on 11th January, 2021.

06.01.2022 Through understanding and validating each child’s individual sensory preferences and needs, we can then begin to work with children in supporting them to explore and expand their tolerance for sensory inputs in a safe manner and at a speed that is comfortable for them. Our ability to process sensory input is our foundational building block for all other areas of development. By validating and supporting our children to understand their sensory preferences, we are empowering them to better learn, grow, play, and function within their daily lives

05.01.2022 Is this the role you’ve been waiting for? Don’t forget that applications close at the end of this week!!! We are looking for our next superstar team member Share with anyone who you think might be the right fit for team Cocoon!

04.01.2022 We have two wonderful occasions to celebrate this week Firstly it’s Occupational Therapy week! A week where we put the spotlight on all things OT. In case you hadn’t noticed, we absolutely love our profession and feel privileged to play a role in working alongside super kiddos, providing them with a helping hand on their way to meeting their potential in life. We are always up for a challenge, and nothing beats the smile on a child’s face when they believe in themself an...d accomplish their goals OT week’s theme for this year is Supporting our Communities to Rebuild, Recover, and Reengage. This year has certainly provided many opportunities to develop resilience, to reconnect and to rebuild. The second celebration of the week fits perfectly with our Paediatric OT profile - it’s National Children’s Week! The theme this year is Children have the right to choose their own friends and safely connect with others. Building, making and maintaining friendships is a skill that we support many of our children to achieve here at Cocoon. So a fitting theme for a week of festivities

03.01.2022 Yep.... we think this just about sums it up!! Best job ever Happy OT Week

02.01.2022 Guess what almost slipped us by?!.... we turned 3 this week! It’s hard to believe that we have been lucky enough to be able to support so many AMAZING kiddos, families and their support networks, for a whole 3 years now. Time sure does fly when you are doing what you love We are also incredibly grateful for the most dedicated team that you could possibly imagine. Rest assured that they work tirelessly to provide the highest standard of service. What a ride we’ve had t...ogether this year! And of course a big thank you to our own families, who are the support crew behind all the happenings at Cocoon xx (We still have some big plans to come!)

02.01.2022 That’s right, we are at it again! On the lookout for the next superstar OT to join us We need someone who shares our passion for helping children and their families in our fabulous little part of the world. Please share far and wide!
