Knowing the ABCs is only part of the picture.
When we think about healthy development in early childhood, it can be easy to focus on the skills we can see and measure. But children are developing across so many areas at once, from communication and connection to movement, sensory processing, and self-regulation.
In the newest episode of Reimagine Childhood, pediatric occupational therapist Kendra Worley joins Monica to explore sensory integration, balanced brain development, and practical ways educators can support the whole child.
They talk about movement, play, classroom environments, behavior as communication, and why some of the simplest things children naturally love to do can be so important for development.
🎧 Episode 92: Sensory Integration & Balanced Brain Development: Practical OT Tips for Early Childhood is available now on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
