Little by Little - Occupational Therapy for
Kids & Parents
Parenting is one big guessing game, isn’t it?
“Is this normal?”
“Should they be doing this by now?”
“WHY won’t they eat anything but toast?!”
If you’ve ever found yourself Googling at 2 a.m. or bribing your toddler just to put on socks, you’re in the right place.
I’m Samantha Saliba—paediatric occupational therapist, sensory specialist, picky eating detective—but most importantly, I’m a mum in the trenches too. My little boy, Little M, is growing, learning, and facing his own challenges, just like your child.
And I know how overwhelming it can feel when you don’t have the answers.
That’s where I come in—helping parents like you decode development, tackle sensory quirks, and support your child’s growth with expert-backed, practical OT strategies that actually work (yes, even on those meltdown-in-the-supermarket days).
No confusing medical talk No guilt trips Just real-life, doable solutions you can start using today
Let’s take the guesswork out of development—together.

Where little moments become big milestones
One moment, you’re celebrating a first step. The next, you’re negotiating with a toddler who refuses to wear trousers. Sound familiar?
Parenthood is a rollercoaster—I know because I’m riding it too.
The truth?….
Development happens Little by Little.
That’s why I focus on small, achievable steps that build up to big milestones—without pressure, without stress. Because skills like coordination, emotional regulation, sensory processing, social interaction, and independence aren’t built overnight.
They come through… play, practice, and the right support—one step at a time.
Struggling with These? You’re Not Alone!
Through Little by Little, I help parents navigate the everyday struggles of child development—because, let’s be honest, parenting isn’t as simple as the books make it sound.
✔️ A toddler struggling with fine motor skills—gripping crayons, using cutlery, or dressing independently
✔️ A sensory-sensitive child who hates loud noises, messy play, or the feeling of socks (seriously, what’s with the sock hatred?!)
✔️ A little one who can’t sit still, focus, or manage big emotions
✔️ A picky eater who turns every mealtime into a negotiation
✔️ A child working on independence in toileting, dressing, and self-care
I take the science behind paediatric OT and break it down into simple, actionable steps—things you can actually fit into your busy day.
✔️ No complicated therapy talk
✔️ No one-size-fits-all solutions
✔️ Just practical, expert-backed guidance that makes a real difference
Because here’s the thing—we’re all learning little by little. Our children, and us as parents too. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s take that next step together!

A Letter to My Little Boy
My sweet boy,
From the moment I held you, I knew life would never be the same. You’ve shown me the world through your eyes—where every challenge is met with determination, every tiny win is a victory, and every cuddle reminds me what truly matters.
I see you learning, growing, trying. I see the struggles, the triumphs, the little steps that turn into big leaps. And I promise—I’ll always meet you where you are. I won’t rush you, compare you, or expect you to be anything but you.
But if you don’t mind, my love… maybe grow up just a little bit slower? Let’s savour the giggles, the bedtime snuggles, the tiny hands in mine—for as long as we can.
We’re in this together, learning side by side—because just like you, I’m growing too.
Little by little, hand in hand, ALWAYS.
