You pick them up from kindy. They seemed fine. But by the time you get home, they're draped over you, lying on the floor, or melting down before dinner. Sound familiar? What most parents don't realise is that there's often something physical going on — not just emotional tiredness. It's called postural fatigue, and it could be why your child falls apart every single afternoon. In this blog, I'm breaking down what postural fatigue actually is, why kindy is so physically demand

You open the kindy gate and they run to you like everything is okay. The educator says they’ve had a great day—but minutes later, you’re in the car park facing tears, resistance, or a full meltdown.

In this blog, I share why this happens and what can help make pick-ups feel calmer and more connected.

Starting childcare, kindy, or Prep is a big milestone—for children and parents. New routines, new faces, and separation can feel overwhelming, especially for kids with sensory or emotional regulation needs. As an occupational therapist, I support children to build confidence, independence, and coping skills through playful, neuroscience-informed strategies—so they can step into their new environment feeling capable and connected.
