Growing Confidence
Did you know that more changes occur in children’s brains when therapy involves their own goals and when children come up with ideas to solve problems for themselves?
Respond Clinic offers a Goal-Plan-Do-Check approach (known as CO-OP) for many kindy aged children. Tricky activities of interest to the child are used as a way of teaching children how to make plans and reflect on their own progress.
Whether the goal is to build an enormous block tower, ride a bike, draw a dinosaur or do a cartwheel, it’s incredible what children can achieve when they’re focused on something that’s really important to them! The skills they learn along the way are also invaluable.
This type of therapy is particularly great for children who like to be in the lead.
It’s also a great way to support children who are more tentative to build their confidence and self-esteem.
This type of therapy is ideal in term 4 because it can set kindy-kids up with skills to navigate the new social and learning landscape at school for next year.
Book-in now if you feel that this type of therapy would suit your child.
