Sometimes the best “therapy tools” are already at home 🫶
Heavy work activities (also called proprioceptive input) help support regulation, body awareness, attention, coordination, and calming. And honestly… kids LOVE feeling helpful.
Mopping.
Window washing.
Scrubbing floors.
Pushing laundry baskets.
Helping carry and move things.
All of these activities provide meaningful input to muscles and joints while also supporting:
✨ core strength
✨ coordination
✨ endurance
✨ motor planning
✨ confidence
✨ independence
And at Milestones… apparently helping prep the new space counts too 😂
One of our favorite things about child-led learning is that regulation and strengthening often happen naturally through real-life experiences 💛
