Gentle parenting isn’t being too relaxed or letting behaviour continue.
It’s about teaching skills in a calm, clear, consistent way so children learn what to do instead.
✨ Real-Life Boundary Scripts Parents Can Use
• “You can feel angry, but you can’t hit.”
Accepts the feeling while keeping everyone safe.
• “You can say no — and others can too.”
Teaches consent and respect both ways.
• “You don’t have to be friends with everyone, but you must be kind.”
Supports healthy social boundaries without forcing friendships.
• “I hear you’re upset. The answer is still no.”
Shows empathy while keeping the limit firm.
• “You don’t have to give a hug. You can wave, high-five, or say hello.”
Respects body autonomy while teaching polite alternatives.
• “You’re allowed to feel sad. I’m here with you.”
Builds emotional safety and regulation skills.
• “It’s okay to disagree — let’s do it respectfully.”
Teaches communication and flexible thinking.
• “I won’t let you hurt anyone. I’ll help you stay safe.”
Adult steps in to guide behaviour, not punish emotion.
• “Let’s take a break and try again.”
Supports regulation and problem-solving.
• “Look at Sally’s face — how do you think Sally feels?”
Builds empathy and perspective-taking.
• “I won’t make you say sorry. Though let’s figure out how to make it better.”
Guides real repair instead of scripted apologies.
Because children don’t magically know boundaries — they learn them through connection and repetition.
That’s not permissive parenting.
That’s guiding children toward success in a way their nervous system can learn from. 🐝💛

👉 Your child is not naughty or lazy.
Every child wants to do well.
No child wakes up wanting to be sad, angry, or struggling — behaviour is communication.
👉 Progress isn’t always visible.
Sometimes therapy looks like play, chatting, or small steps. We wish there was a magic wand that “fixes” everything overnight — growth takes time.
👉 Practice in real life matters most.
What happens at home, school, and in everyday routines is where skills truly build.
👉 Every child develops differently.
Comparing to age expectations or other children can create pressure instead of progress. Let’s focus on strengths and meaningful goals.
👉 Modelling and small strategies are working more than you think.
Children are always watching, learning, and building skills slowly and steadily.
👉 And yes… sometimes we yell by accident.
We are human too.
What matters most is the repair — saying sorry, reconnecting, and showing children how relationships heal. That is one of the most powerful lessons we can model.
👉 Regulation comes before learning.
When a child feels safe and calm, their brain is ready to grow.
👉 Accommodations may always be needed — and that’s okay.
Supports aren’t failures. They are tools that help children participate with confidence.

Find a heart.
Made out of anything you see. 💛
✨ Your brain is more powerful than you think.
🔎 Can you find any hearts hidden in this picture?
Look around you right now & try to find a heart.
It might be:
• Two leaves touching
• A crack in the pavement
• A cloud in the sky
• Toys on the floor
It doesn’t have to be perfect.
You just have to notice it.
Here’s the cool part…
Your brain sees what you teach it to look for.
If you look for scary things - it finds them.
If you look for mistakes - it finds them.
If you look for hearts - it finds them too.
That means your mind is strong.
It can shift.
It can focus.
It can choose.
And every time you do this, you’re making your mind stronger because it shows your mind is in control.
When things feel big or overwhelming, try this:
Pause.
Take one slow breath.
Find a heart.
You’re gently teaching your brain:
✨ “I can look for something good.”
A little challenge for both kids & adults.
Tag us in your heart finds 💛🐝
Because small shifts can create a big impact.

Dear Therapists.
Dear Providers.
Dear Families.
This one is for you. 💛
With all the changes around Thriving Kids, the uncertainty, the “what does this mean?”, the funding questions, the policy shifts… it’s a lot.
It’s okay if you’re feeling:
• worried
• frustrated
• confused
• dysregulated
• out of control
• tired of the unknown
Last year asked a lot of us. And this year has started with more questions than answers.
So today, instead of pretending it’s all fine -
Let’s acknowledge the hard thoughts.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
“What if supports change?”
“How will this impact the children?”
“Am I doing enough?”
These thoughts are real.
They deserve space.
But here’s what we also know…
✨ We care deeply about the children and families we support.
✨ We show up with integrity.
✨ We advocate.
✨ We collaborate.
✨ We do the best we can with the information we have.
And that has always been enough.
At Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy, our values of connection, empowerment, collaboration, strengths value don’t change — even when systems do.
We are in this together.
Not alone.
Not against each other.
But beside one another.
If today feels heavy, this is your reminder to:
💛 Go for a walk in the sunshine
💛 Step away from the laptop to have a break
💛 Drink a favourite fruity drink
💛 Breathe and ground yourself to the sounds of nature
💛 Talk to someone who gets it
💛 Do something that fills your bucket
Regulation before reaction.
Connection before control.
We can’t control policy shifts.
But we can control how we care for ourselves and each other.
Whatever unfolds — we will meet it with:
Compassion.
Collaboration.
Advocacy.
And the best we’ve got.
Happy Valentine’s Day to our incredible hive.
You are seen. You are valued. You are not alone. 🐝💛
#BumbleBeaOT #ThrivingKids #NDISCommunity #Neuroaffirming #PaediatricOT InThisTogether
At Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy, our space is a safe, welcoming place where children are truly seen, heard, and supported - just as they are.
Every detail of this space reflects our values: connection, empowerment, collaboration and their strengths. A belief that children thrive when they feel safe enough to be themselves 🌱
Within these walls, children are supported to explore, build confidence, and develop skills in ways that honour who they are - at their own pace.
💛 We work with NDIS (self-managed & plan-managed) and private pathways, including self-funded, Medicare, and private health insurance options where applicable.
This space isn’t about pressure or performance.
It’s about safety, trust, and gentle growth ✨

This year’s theme “Occupational Therapy in Action” celebrates the creativity, compassion, and connection that OTs bring to life every day. 🌈
At times, BBOT might be a little MIA on socials; but that’s because our energy is focused where it matters most: supporting the children and families who need it 💛
Amidst ongoing NDIS changes and the challenges faced across our community, let’s stay united as one… advocating for our profession, uplifting each other, and celebrating the wins (big and small) along the way 🐝
Here’s to every OT making a difference - through play, empowerment, and everyday moments of growth.
This is OT in action. ✨
#OTWeek2025 #OccupationalTherapyInAction #BumbleBeaOT #NeuroaffirmingOT #PaediatricOT
This activity never fails to disappoint! An engaging way to build hand-eye coordination, motor skills, and motor planning.
✨ What you need:
✔️ Coloured plastic balls
✔️ Masking tape
🔹 How to play:
1️⃣ Stick tape up to two hard surfaces with the sticky side facing out.
2️⃣ Grab a handful of plastic balls.
3️⃣ Encourage them to throw or press the balls onto the tape to make them stick!
4️⃣ Add a fun challenge: match colours, aim for targets, throw from different distances and different body positions, or have a game to see who can stick their balls on first/the fastest!

Yes! We’ve all been here before.. And as we learn, we change and do better. As OT’s, we strive to support individuals in a way that is respectful, affirming, and person-centered. One way we can improve is by moving away from labels like high-functioning and low-functioning when describing our clients.
Here’s why these terms are problematic:
🚩They Dismiss Support Needs
Someone described as high-functioning may not receive the support they require because their challenges are minimised. Someone labeled low-functioning may be denied opportunities for independence because they are assumed to be “incapable.”
🚩 They Can Be Harmful
These labels contribute to stigma and ableism. They can make individuals feel unheard, misunderstood, or pressured to meet unrealistic expectations.
🚩 They Oversimplify Abilities
A person labeled high-functioning may still have significant challenges that aren’t being acknowledged, while someone labeled low-functioning may have strengths that are overlooked. These labels fail to capture the complexity of an individual’s skills and struggles.
🚩 It Does Not Reflect Fluctuating Capacities
Abilities fluctuate based on environment, stress, fatigue, and access to accommodations. No one functions at the same level across all situations.
✨Let’s advocate for language that truly reflects the strengths, challenges, and potential of those we support.
#NeuroaffirmingOT #OccupationalTherapy #SupportNeedsNotLabels #StrengthsBased
Scooter boards aren’t just fun—they’re an amazing way to provide heavy work (proprioceptive input) to help kids regulate their bodies, strengthen muscles, and improve motor planning.
✨ Why Heavy Work?
Heavy work activities engage the muscles and joints, promoting body awareness, attention, and regulation. They’re perfect for kids who need help with focus, coordination, or sensory processing!
✨ Scooter Board Activities to Try:
🔹 Superman Push: Have kids lie on their tummy and push themselves forward using their hands—great for upper body strength!
🔹 Obstacle Course: Navigate around cones, under tunnels, or to get from one object to another.
🔹 Partner Pull: One child pulls another using a rope—hello, teamwork and core activation! Or alternatively, partner holds the rope whilst the person on scooter board pulls!
🔹 Car Ride: Sit on the scooter board and use legs to get around —an awesome way to activate those leg muscles!
These activities help with self-regulation, endurance, and coordination—all while having fun!

It’s been a while, so thought I would reintroduce myself. My name is Beatriz and I have the biggest passion working with my beautiful clients. I pour my heart & soul into expanding my knowledge on neuro-affirming practices and learning from the neurodivergent community. I truly believe in focussing on client strengths, their rights and self-identity rather than their differences. I specialise in working predominantly with autistic and ADHDers aged 2-12 years and absolutely adore incorporating their interests to keep them motivated and strive to be the best version of themselves so that they reach their full potential. Here’s hoping that Bumble Bea Occupational Therapy can support you through some activities, ideas, strategies and resources. Sending you all so much love, strength and positivity ♡♡♡ X
