Description

Is your child a dandelion or an orchid? 

This week Eleanor unpacks the child development theory that helps you understand what your child might need to thrive. 

Plus we unpack why a young person may not want to follow instructions unless they are in control, and if your young person can be tired and regulated at the same time. 


If you liked something we talked about, or you learned something from listening to us, share it with your friends,  family, uni classmates or colleagues. The more people that know about occupational therapy, the better! 

 If you have any questions you'd like answered, please send a question to the integration station via Instagram or our email podcast@otfcgroup.au
