Your Questions, Answered! (Q&A with an OT Mum)
Parenting comes with a million questions—so let’s talk about them!
“Is this normal?” “Am I doing this right?” “How can I make this easier?” That’s where I come in. As a paediatric occupational therapist and a mum, I help parents cut through the confusion and find real, practical solutions to everyday challenges. Whether it’s development, sensory needs, or mealtime battles, I’ve got the answers you need—without the overwhelm.
No complicated medical jargon, no guilt—just expert advice that actually works for your real life. Let’s get started!
Every child develops differently, but I know how easy it is to compare. I’ll help you understand what’s within the typical range, what signs might suggest extra support, and how to encourage progress in a way that feels natural.
Sensory sensitivities can make everyday experiences feel overwhelming for some kids. Whether it’s avoiding sticky textures, covering their ears at birthday parties, or refusing certain clothes, I’ll explain why this happens and how to help them feel more comfortable.
Toddlers are wired to explore, but if you’re wondering whether their energy level is typical or something more, I’ll help break it down. Understanding what’s age-appropriate and what might need extra support can bring a lot of peace of mind.
Whether they’re stuck on beige foods, refusing anything green, or melting down at mealtimes, food struggles are tough. I’ll share ways to encourage variety and make mealtimes more peaceful—without battles or pressure.
If tasks like holding a crayon, using a spoon, or doing up buttons feel tricky, I’ve got you covered. I’ll share simple, play-based activities to strengthen those little hands while keeping things fun.
Tantrums, frustration, and overwhelm are all part of learning to regulate emotions—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy! I’ll give you practical ways to help your child manage their feelings and build resilience (while keeping your own sanity intact).
