Top-tip Tuesday: Why kids should play prone (on their tummies)!

Tummy-down play isn’t just for babies — it continues to benefit children throughout early childhood!

Here’s why:

💪 Strengthens core & shoulder muscles
🧠 Boosts body awareness and postural control
✏️ Supports handwriting skills (helps with shoulder stability!)
👀 Improves visual tracking & eye-hand coordination
🎯 Builds endurance for sitting and table-top tasks

Try adding 5–10 minutes of prone play every day. Try puzzles on the floor, reading in prone position, colouring on a low surface, or playing with toys or blocks!

✨ A simple position with BIG developmental benefits. Play on the floor = progress you can SEE. 💛

Interest 📈 in private loans can be a legal minefield 💥

If you’re lending or borrowing money, check whether the National Credit Act or Prescribed Rate of Interest Act applies — and make sure your interest rate is fair and lawful.

✨ Big news for parents in South Africa! ✨

In a landmark ruling on 3 October 2025, the Constitutional Court has changed the game for parental leave. 👶💼

From now on, all parents — regardless of gender or how they became parents — are entitled to equal parental leave. 🙌

The Court found that the old laws unfairly discriminated based on gender and parental status. While Parliament has 36 months to update the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) and the Unemployment Insurance Act (UIA), this ruling already marks a major step toward equality and family-friendly workplaces. ⚖️❤️

It’s about time caregiving was recognised as everyone’s responsibility, and most importantly, that all employees are treated fairly.

✨ Feedback Friday for Wellsprings Occupational Therapy ✨

Over the last 3 months, we’ve been doing an introduction course in DIR-Floortime, developed by Stanley Greenspan.

DIR-Floortime is a play-based therapeutic approach for children where adults gets on the floor to engage in fun, child-led play fostering social, emotional and intellectual development.

This play-based model follows the child’s lead which creates opportunities for learning, focusses on building connections and two-way communication and promoting skill development.

At Wellsprings Occupational Therapy, we aim to upskill ourselves to better serve your children 🤓
