15.01.2022 Observe. Wait. Listen This is a tip that we share with parents when working on their child's communication skills outside of the clinic. While playing with your child, observe what they're doing and wait to see what they say. When they begin communicating, listen to what they're saying and then build on it. Describe the noises toys can make, or the colours they are. #splashkidstherapies #speechpathology #childtherapy #communicationskills

12.01.2022 Although our speech pathologists help your child develop communication skills in the therapy room, there are ways that you can help your child succeed with their communication outside of the clinic too. Some of the best ways to do this are to play games with your child. Memory games, Go Fish! or even Bingo are a great way to promote speech and language skills. #splashkidstherapies #speechpathology #childtherapy #communicationskills #playtherapy

06.01.2022 "When should we start toilet training?" This depends on every child as there is no set age to start toilet training. Instead of thinking about age, consider the building blocks needed to develop toilet training such as physical skills, sensory processing, concept understanding and communication. Some examples include: - physical ability to sit upright on a toilet/potty and not fall off... - being aware of a wet nappy - being aware of the need to use the toilet - being aware of the task required when using the bathroom - able to follow simple instructions #splashkidstherapies #toilettraining #tips #occupationaltherapy

05.01.2022 Starting school can be a scary time for most kids especially when they aren't ready for school. There are many aspects to school readiness to consider such as their motor skills, their emotional maturity, their language development and their cognitive ability. If you are concerned your child may not be ready, consider trying our preparation tips. #splashkidstherapies #occupationaltherapy #psychology #speechpathology #childtherapy #schoolreadiness

05.01.2022 How do we teach kids to self-regulate their emotions? We like to teach self-regulation skills the same way we would teach children any skill: provide practise. Don't avoid situations that can be difficult for children to handle but instead guide them through it to provide an emotional framework. #splashkidstherapies #emotionalregulation #childtherapy #psychology #childpsychology
