Replying to @crt.ney Part 2 you that over 100 of you asked for. This is your reminder that the @kmart australia climbing frame isn’t just for climbing and is not just for toddlers — it’s such a versatile tool for supporting sitting, crawling, standing and so much more. It’s all about how you use it 👏🏼 Save this for later & send it to a mum who has one of these at home! #kmartaus #occupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapy #sensoryplay

What is BRACHYCEPHALY? Brachycephaly is when the back of a baby's head becomes flattened and the head widens as a result. What causes brachycephaly? * spending too much time on their back (back sleep is still considered the safest and reduces SIDS!) Can we correct this? ✅ YES! As soon as you notice the flatness is the ideal time to start working on correcting it. Before 4 months of age is ideal and when we can make the greatest change! What can you do to help your baby with this head shape? ✔️increase tummy time ✔️ limit container usage to no more than 2 hours a day ✔️ work with a skilled therapist to help your baby's specific head shape Concerns about your baby’s head shape?

I LOVE a product that has more than one use and I’m going to confidently bet you haven’t thought of half of these yet The @kmart australia climbing frame is one of those rare pieces of equipment that grows with your child instead of being outgrown in a matter of weeks. These activities work on sitting and crawling right through to pulling to stand, walking, climbing whilst incidentally building the foundational fine-motor and visual-motor skills required for tasks handwriting and toilet training later down the track. That’s pretty good bang for your buck if I ask me! #kmartaustralia #pikler #occupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapy #babytoy

Want a part 2? I’ll show you all the ways I use this @kmart australia climbing frame for skills such as crawling, pulling to stand and sitting. Comment below if you’re interested! My 9-month-old is finally in that phase where he’s climbing everything — the stairs, the furniture, anything he can pull up on 😅 It’s great for his development, but a lot to manage, so this climbing frame is perfect for redirecting that into a safer, more appropriate setup. This is one of my favourite pieces of baby equipment! ⚠️ That said — it is a risky piece of equipment, so always use with active supervision and intention ⚠️ #occupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapy #9monthold #babytoys

Finally in the “pulling to stand on absolutely everything” era over here… so I went to see if Kmart had a solution. This Anko Wooden Activity Table from @kmart australia has actually been great for this stage. Instead of pulling up on coffee tables, TV units and bar stools, it gives babies a safe, developmentally appropriate surface to practise pulling to stand, cruising and high kneeling play. From an OT perspective, this stage is huge for building the leg strength, balance and coordination that eventually lead to walking. Sometimes it’s not about stopping the behaviour — it’s about redirecting it to something safer. And for $39 from Kmart… honestly a great little setup for this stage. 🙌 #kmartaus #anko #babydevelopment #occupationaltherapy #mumlife

Replying to @Candi Here’s a trick to helping your kid hold their pencil properly — When I was a first grade special education teacher, I worked closely with our occupational therapist and learned a few tricks. If your child is under 4 and not holding their pencil properly, do not worry! This is normal. If your child is 5 and up, this is when I would start guiding them in starting to hold their pencil “properly”. Why does it matter if they hold their pencil properly? To be honest, incorrect pencil grip over a long period of time can actually become quite painful. Cramping and carpal tunnel can actually happen as a result! Obviously the quality of the handwriting can be impacted too, but that isn’t as important as quality of life. You can try the pinch and flip method, invest in some of the my first pencils by Ticonderoga, or check out these pencil grips that can help guide your kids. #pencilgrip #properpencilgrip #ticonderoga #occupationaltherapy #finemotorskills #homeschooltips #handwriting #handwritingpractice #milestones
