22.01.2022 Did you know that a 3-year old (top left image) and a 6-year old (top right image) have significantly different skeletal structure in their hands?! Notice the b...ones in the wrist of the 3-year old -- many of them are still mostly cartilage! Look at all the spaces in between the bones where muscles and tendons will change through the years. Even the difference between a 6-year old and a 14-year old (lower right) is huge! Preschoolers have SO much development to do before they can write the way school-aged children or adults can! Please do NOT stress if your preschooler does not want to write or draw. Some love it and some don't. While they are growing, strengthen those little bones and muscles! Here are some great pre-writing, muscle-strengthening activities: * painting, drawing, coloring * playdough * tearing and cutting * gluing * poking holes in things (try toothpicks and paper!) * digging in dirt * building with LEGOS, marble runs, or other blocks * beading (try beads, cut straws, or even bobbins!) * puzzles * squeezing (try stress balls, squeezing water in a sponge, or using a pipette) * picking up and throwing balls (use different sizes!) * playing with toys (watch what their little fingers do when they pick up and move little cars, marbles, action figures, etc!) . These all strengthen and help develop little hands, muscles, and bones. When they are physically ready to write, it will be so much easier than if they were pushed when they didn't want to and weren't ready! <3

07.01.2022 Facebook Page ____________________________________________________... What is music thearpy? (From Australian Music Therapy Association http://www.austmta.org.au/content/what-music-therapy) What is Music Therapy? Defining music therapy Defining music therapy is often challenging because the practice is so diverse, but AMTA uses the following definition: Music therapy is a research-based practice and profession in which music is used to actively support people as they strive to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapy is the intentional use of music by a university trained professional who is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association Inc. Registered music therapists draw on an extensive body of research and are bound by a code of ethics that informs their practice. Music therapists incorporate a range of music making methods within and through a therapeutic relationship. They are employed in a variety of sectors including health, community, aged care, disability, early childhood, and private practice. Music therapy is different from music education and entertainment as it focuses on health, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapists are committed to supporting people of any age and ability regardless of musical skill, culture or background. (RMT)
