Useful information and tips regarding the challenges that children can face, as well as fun, educational crafts and games for children to do are covered here. Some of the topics addressed are sensory, fine motor, school readiness, autism, strengthening and crafts.Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.comBlogger203125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-14653454961327217682015-12-11T11:16:00.002-05:002015-12-11T11:16:34.607-05:00Picky EatersFirst, let me say that there are, indeed some kids with aversions to different food textures and smells. There are kids with true sensory issues during meal times. These are not the kids I am referring to in this post.<br />
The kids I am posting about today are kids that are shaped to have food preferences and behaviors. Kids that refuse to eat certain food groups, or textures. Kids that will eat only "kid friendly" foods such as chicken nuggets, french fries etc. Kids that are inadvertently shaped by their parents' behaviors and attitudes about food. I am not stating that these parents are bad parents or not doing what they feel is best for their child. For the most part, these parents just are not aware, or don't understand that they are negatively affecting their child's eating habits.<br />
For example, I had a mom very concerned with the fact that her 5 year old child wouldn't eat anything but junk and "kid friendly" meals. She said her child would fuss and cry if presented with other food groups, especially fruits and she felt it was a sensory issue. This perplexed me since this child demonstrated no other sensory concerns. So, the next session I had with this child, I presented fruit for a snack. The child not only ate 3 servings, without any prompting from me, but cried when I ran out of the fruit. I then presented other "non-preferred" foods during my next few sessions, with the same results. As I was extremely baffled why this child's mother was concerned, I delved into the home life. And, as I had suspected, this child's "food aversion" was due to the parent's behavior. Turns out that mom doesn't eat fruits or vegetables, either, and therefore, they were not offered often at home. Mom asked what the kids wanted for dinner each night and then allowed them to "graze" on their food until they were finished. Of course, the kids requested "kid friendly" food and that is what the entire family ate every night. This mom had inadvertently caused her child's bad eating habits. It wasn't "sensory" at all, but a learned behavior. If the child fussed when presented with fruits or vegetables, they were immediately taken away to prevent a melt down. <br />
Kids need to have a variety of foods to grow and for brain development. They needs fruits and vegetables to be healthy. These food should be offered often and kids should be encouraged to eat these foods at meals. Parents need to be good role models to their kids and demonstrate how good these foods taste. Meals should be presented at a table or island and kids need to sit to eat and not wander around, taking bites now and then until they are done eating. Good eating habits start in the home, and should start early on in life. The older a child gets, the more difficult it is to change bad eating habits. Present non-preferred foods many times and have the child take one bite before eating a preferred food. I find some parents are afraid of upsetting their child so don't push things that may not be liked by the child. Consistency is key to instilling good eating habits and it is ok to upset your child so that he/she will grow up healthy. <br />

Schedules get easier, the days get longer and it's time for some fun in the sun. Kids need down time, too, so allow them to relax some of the time and enjoy their summer. But, that doesn't mean plopping them in front of the tv, ipad or phone all day, every day. Go to the pool, amusement park or playground. Take them to visit friends and have some friends over to play. Get your kids outside for some fresh air and exercise. Remember, though, to have them read, or read to them. Have special time in your day to enrich their minds so they are ready to go back to school on track. It is a known fact that kids can loose knowledge over the summer if not properly stimulated. So, allow your kids to enjoy their time off, but have them do some school work too so they are not behind in the fall. Happy summer, and be safe!Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-82522155112065185392015-04-27T10:28:00.001-04:002015-04-27T10:28:03.215-04:00HAPPY OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY MONTH!!!!!!April is Occupational Therapy month so thank an OT for all they do.

Try this cute chic for some spring time art. Just cut out an oval (have the kids draw one and then cut it out, if they are capable) and cut it in 2 pieces using a zig zag pattern. Cut out a chic shaped head from yellow paper. Then put a hinge on the side and have the kids decorate as they like.Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-12305179683903554662015-03-16T14:52:00.001-04:002015-03-16T14:52:28.206-04:00Good ReadI came upon this article about teaching young children.

Try this to make bee hives: paint bubble wrap with yellow paint. Draw a picture of a hive on white paper and push the bubble wrap onto the hive to paint it. Next, put an index finger into black paint and push it onto the yellow hive to make bees. So easy and cute and great for finger isolation (index finger only in black paint) and sensory. For an added challenge, once the hive is dry, have the child cut it out.Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-88182490688555366892015-01-23T11:17:00.000-05:002015-01-23T11:17:46.873-05:00Home Made Fine Motor Activity<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's an easy fine motor activity you can make at home. All you need is a clear, plastic jar and cotton balls. Have the kids use tongs to pick up the cotton balls and put them into the container. To increase the difficulty of the task, leave the lid on and have them put the balls through the pour hole. Once the jar is filled, they have made a cute snowman.Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-51421967740832112372015-01-07T10:56:00.000-05:002015-01-07T10:56:13.845-05:00milk jug igloo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kids love to play in forts. tents and other confined places. So, for winter we decided to try an "igloo" fort. Collect any size jug to make your igloo. We found it is easier to tape 3-4 together first, then tape these rows together. Make it as high and wide as you like. Have a snow ball battle from the fort.

When going from table top work to circle time, or vice versa, have the kids go via obstacle course. It not only entertains them, it can build their gross motor skills while allowing them the movement time they need during their school day to be able to learn most effectively. Studies show that children need time between sedentary learning times for gross motor to allow them to concentrate and to learn better. Try these ideas, or make your own obstacle courses. Ideas can be: crawling through a tunnel, hopping over an object, stepping up and down a stool, scooter boards and catching and throwing balls. <br />

Need something to do with your leftover corn decorations now that the holiday is over? Have the kids paint with it. Just paint the cob and roll it across a piece of paper. Kids can get creative and use many colors. Don't worry about getting messy- just have fun.<br /><br />Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-90189820962703607112014-10-16T11:14:00.000-04:002014-10-16T11:14:58.108-04:00Safety tips for Halloween funHalloween is coming and kids will be out and about in search of treats. It's important to keep safety in mind while trick or treating with the kids. Here are a few tips to help keep everyone safe while having fun trick or treating: <br />
<br />
Have each child carry or wear something lit, such as a flashlight, glow bracelet or necklace, or flashing attire for visibility. Light-up shoes are also practical, and ever-so-noticeable on a dark Halloween night.<br /> Adults should plan out a route in advance and check it during the daylight for such obstacles as broken sidewalks (or no sidewalks), construction timber, or other obstacles that could trip up trick or treaters. Trick or treat in familiar neighborhoods or areas.<br /> Require well-fitting shoes to be worn, preferably sneakers. While adorable in the store as a costume accessory, children planning to go trick or treat should wear sturdy shoes and not the princess high-heel, too large boots, or other types of shoes often shown with costumes. Save those types of shoes for costume parties and not when a child is going trick or treat. Their feet - and most likely you who may end up carrying either the shoes or the child - will be thankful.<br /> Avoid costumes that drag on the ground. While cute initially, costumes that drag can trip up little feet, get caught on bushes, and create a tussle that sometimes results in the child wanting to remove the costume. Remember, children who trick and treat want to be costumed, and comfortable.<br /> With the thought of comfort, pick costumes that are bathroom-friendly as well. On this same<br />
subject, parents should pre-plan a bathroom stop along the way (a friends' house will do and is a good time for a water break as well), or at a public facility if driving.<br /> Be sure a child's mask allows full visibility and breathing. Spiderman masks, for example, sometimes only have small eye slits and nothing for the nose or mouth. Parents should try on masks for size and not hesitate to cut out larger openings for a trick or treaters comfort. If possible, find a mask that "breathes" and is easy to put on and off. The types of mask that easily can slide up on the head and then pulled down are best.<br /> Trick or treaters should walk, not run, and should never cut across lawns or driveways. Obstacles could exist that aren't readily visible in the evening.<br /> Only carry flexible props, such as knives, swords, ninja items, etc., that can't cause injury if a child accidentally falls. No play prop should resemble the real item; and consider leaving play weapons at home and not part of trick or treat night. Remember, some individuals are offended by seeing small children carry these items; and trick or treating should be a fun and positive experience for everyone.<br /> Only trick or treat at houses that are lit. Residents who do not wish to be bothered by trick or treaters often leave off their lights as a sign; respect their preference by only going to houses that are lit.<br /> Think "practical" over "cute" when picking a trick or treat goody bag or container. Some of seemingly-fun ones sold in stores are heavy - before any treats are added; others are too long and will drag the ground or have sharp edges that could scrape against tender skin. One of the best and simplest suggestions is have children utilize a backpack to keep their hands free except for perhaps a flashlight.Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-80356419027222810392014-09-25T13:27:00.000-04:002014-09-25T13:27:48.810-04:00Car roll painting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a fun idea that kids will love- especially boys! Use cars to roll a picture. Simply roll the tires through paint and let the kids roll them on paper. Use different cars and different color paints to make really cool designs.<br /><br />Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-68489755184235035442014-09-14T22:54:00.000-04:002014-09-14T22:54:16.985-04:00Sensory Friendly Theatre?How many times have you wanted to take your child with sensory difficulties to a theater production but nixed the idea out of fear of his/her response?

Make your own applesauce. Have your kids peel the apples first then grate the apples to make applesauce. Kids love to help, and it is a great upper extremity coordination activity. Helping make food is a great task for children of all ages. Little children can help stir and pour. Older children should read the recipes and attempt to follow it. Kids love to eat what they make, so it is a great way to help picky children expand their food repertoire.Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-428922411028884062014-08-25T14:33:00.000-04:002014-08-25T14:33:34.780-04:00Back To SchoolIt is back to school time and most parents are breathing a sigh of relief. Kids are anxious and excited; some may be scared of what is to come. Back to school prep included getting supplies and backpacks, and new school clothes and shoes. Kids are all ready to go- right? But, let's not forget another important aspect of school prep- getting back into the school sleep routine. We all know how we feel when we don't get enough sleep, or don't have a good night's sleep. We tend to be tired, cranky and have difficulty functioning throughout the day. Our caffeine consumption increases just to get us through the day. We need to remember that poor, or lack of, sleep also affects our children and we should be working with our kids to ensure that they get the proper amount of sleep for maximal functioning. It is our jobs as parents. <br />
<br />
So, how much sleep do our children need? Research varies, but average amounts recommended are:<br />
For children 3-5 years old- 11-13 hours (including a nap if they are still napping)<br />
For children 5-12 years old- 10-11 hours per night.<br />
<br />
It is imperative that children get their sleep in order to function at their highest level throughout the school day. Lack of quality sleep, or lack of enough sleep, can lead to mood disturbances (we have all been on the receiving end of a temper tantrum from a tired child), behavioral problems, and cognitive problems. All of these can affect school functioning.<br />
<br />
So, what do you do to ensure that your child gets enough sleep? Here are a few suggestions:<br />
1- Maintain a bed time routine and schedule. Be consistent with this schedule and bed time. Most children are aware that they are tired, but don't want to go to bed at bedtime. They will whine and beg for more time before having to go to bed. Stand firm and the bedtime schedule will become easier. Children learn when they are able to budge parents so if you are consistent, eventually your child will realize you mean business and bedtime will become easier.<br />
2- Get their bedroom sleep-ready. Turn down, or off, the lights. Shut the blinds and decrease or eliminate noise.<br />
3- Have your child start to calm down at least 45 minutes prior to bedtime. Taking a child from running outside with friends, to bed, is going to prove to be an impossible task. Calm your child before attempting bed time.<br />
4- Stop all stimulating toys and activities at least 45 minutes prior to bedtime. By stimulating I am referring to video games and some tv shows. Older kids can lie in bed to read for a few minutes prior to falling asleep, if that helps.<br />
<br />
Once a bedtime routine is set and your child is getting the sleep he/she needs, you should see a marked improvement in his/her moods, behaviors and in his/her school work. Give it a try. <br />

It's hot outside- so get out the sprinkler and water table and have some fun! Give the kids squirt guns and have them squeeze the triggers (great hand/finger strengthening and eye-hand coordination). Put containers into a water table and have them pour water back and forth. Squirt them with water guns and watch them run (gross motor). Outside water fun is great fun for everyone.<br /><br />Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-68986442556227645812014-07-16T14:54:00.001-04:002014-07-16T14:54:44.183-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Looking for something to do with all that bubble wrap? Paint with it. Simply apply paint to the bubble wrap and push a piece of paper on top of it, pushing down all over the paper to get the paint on it. You can use one color, or many different colors to make a picture. Give it a try!<br /><br />Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-8419401235771011572014-06-19T23:21:00.001-04:002014-06-19T23:21:02.190-04:00Rainbow fish art<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJANiEH5330h0MkMnCdYsP2wM5s0wUYA0MkPH4kMojDhiR-Rwtj5JpFZZXXLj4zpIZEn5fC5E3oWiDwwuwVOGlv1V6ba4GgXtX2bjp1NqxWCBFCKr9LwXWfx3RFMVK4lg3z6bbGo79rj5/s640/blogger-image-1511356723.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYJANiEH5330h0MkMnCdYsP2wM5s0wUYA0MkPH4kMojDhiR-Rwtj5JpFZZXXLj4zpIZEn5fC5E3oWiDwwuwVOGlv1V6ba4GgXtX2bjp1NqxWCBFCKr9LwXWfx3RFMVK4lg3z6bbGo79rj5/s640/blogger-image-1511356723.jpg"></a></div>Here's an easy but super cute and fun one...

Try this craft with your kids. Make a duck using a paper plate and construction paper. They can either paint or color the body and older kids can draw and cut out the circle head. Snip the tail to make "feathers".<br /><br />Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-35920990642464369432014-06-04T16:25:00.002-04:002014-06-04T16:25:24.809-04:00Summer home workSchool is either out, or soon to be out, for kids. Summer is a fun, relaxing time, meant to recharge everyone's batteries after the long, difficult school year. It is important for kids, and adults, to take this time to have fun in the sun and socialize with friends and family. Go to the pool or park; go on vacation to your favorite destination and just RELAX! Have a great summer, everyone!<br />
That said, we want to remind everyone that, although summer is supposed to be fun and relaxing, kids can loose almost 1/3 of their knowledge over summer break if not properly stimulated. Older kids need to read every day. Go to the library and let the kids pick out the books they want to read. It does not matter if the book is a step below their reading level, as long as they enjoy it and read it. Children who can not yet read may enjoy going to the library for story time (most offer these). Parents should read to younger children every day. Preschoolers should be encouraged to practice their coloring and tracing, as well as cutting skills. Don't be afraid to give a preschooler children's scissors to cut with (under direct supervision, of course). Like I tell the parents of my preschool clients- I am not aware of any preschooler cutting off a finger with a pair of children's scissors. Have the preschooler color with chalk on the driveway. Allow him/her to help when you make dinner. Older children can do the measuring when making dinner, or, if old enough, maybe they will make the family dinner (with supervision). And, don't forget the math skills over the summer. <br />
<br />
So, while summer is supposed to be a time of fun and relaxation, it is also important to spend a little time each day practicing what they learned this past year, so don't start next school year already behind.<br />
Enjoy your summer!Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-22367277966562947402014-05-19T08:43:00.000-04:002014-05-19T08:43:31.418-04:00String art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have fun painting- use string to make stripes on a zebra. Just dip the end into paint and swish it across a picture of a zebra. Looks cool, and kids love to paint using string.<br /><br />Barb Bennett, OTR/L and Chelsea Smith, MOT, OTR/Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10056832518488899788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800460931499591206.post-18957881828038470372014-05-13T14:47:00.000-04:002014-05-13T14:47:39.544-04:00Glue dot ideaHere is an idea to teach kids how to make a glue dot. It seems that most kids squeeze, and squeeze, and squeeze a glue bottle until someone makes them stop. Children have a difficult time understanding how to just make a dot. Try this- put hole page hole protectors onto a paper and tell the kids to put dots inside the holes. May take a few times for them to completely grasp the idea, but it gives them some tangible way to understand the idea of a dot.<br />
