Getting messy to help decrease tactile defensiveness and increase discrimination!
Vestibular input (movement involving gravity) helps with regulation, coordination and motor planning.
Time alone in a quiet cozy space is just what some of us need to recharge!
We go for the "gleam" in your child's eye to get best attention and engagement!
Whole body tactile play supports development of your child's sensory system!
When your child is sitting to play or eat you want them in a 'supportive seating system'! This is when their hips, knees and ankles are all at 90 degrees (feet rest flat on the floor) allowing your child to feel stable so they can use their hands more functionally. Also ensure the table height is just below the elbow.
Just right fine motor challenge! Choosing the correct size of toys can help develop grasp.
