Why you should put your child to work…

You may be thinking we are suggesting chores and giving kids extra jobs to help around the house. But, we are getting kids involved in “heavy work” activities for another purpose.

We’re building the child’s proprioceptive input! Many kids who have ADHD-like symptoms or sensory seeking behavior often need play that requires “heavy work” to calm their body and the brain.

Activities or even certain types of “chores” can send messages to the proprioceptive system helping regulate the child’s behaviors and emotions.

Some “heavy work” activities may include the following:

💪Carry a backpack and fill it with books or collect rocks and branches while on a hike
💪Push a wheelbarrow
💪Shovel snow
💪Jump rope
💪Pick up books

You can use a variety of activities to help the child push, pull, jump or climb.

Happy World Picnic Day!
Grab your snacks, pack your basket, and claim the best patch of grass you can find.
Life feels a little lighter when you’re eating under the open sky, even if there is a little rain scheduled.
