All kids progress differently and have their own strengths and needs.

Although this course is aimed at improving fine motor and writing skills, it will be via the foundational skills. As a result, you will notice progress in other areas too.

In previous rounds, parents have noted that their kids are:

-Stronger, more confident and secure with their body
– less clumsy, more coordinated
-Improved posture, able to hold up their body
-more active and coordinated on the playground
increased gross motor coordination to jump, climb, and and hop
-Stronger with resistive tasks with arms / hands
-Better able to control objects in their hands, less fumbly
-Increased pressure with hands, more relaxed with hands
-More willing to play games or do activities that require fine motor coordination
-More use of ‘utensils’ to play or cook
-More willing and interested to do pencil tasks, arts and crafts
-More enjoyment with fine motor play, crafts, drawing / writing
-More precise with their movements -Choose or want to write on their own

In each module, you'll have:

-a parents calming activity - 5- 10 minutes
-video tutorial - on average 15 minutes
-activity demonstrations (whole body, hand, and eye hand) - on average 30 minutes

In addition, if I had to guess, you may spend 45-60 minutes per week with your child to do the activities in the program (that's about 20-30 minutes twice a week).

In summary, you'll need about 90-minutes per week to watch the videos and do the activities.

Do you think that this requires a lot of time? Consider the amount of time spent getting your child ready for a 1:1 session, the time spent there, and the travel time to travel.

What about the amount of time spent battling, encouraging or convincing your child to do their writing work? How much time is spent watching them struggle or going down the Google rabbit hole of research?

Instead, spend that time going to the source (ahem me! 🙋🏻‍♀️) for help and spend your precious time learning what you can do to help your child now.

And not to mention ALL the time you spend researching what to do online and not being sure if it’s right for your child.

The Truth?

When you know what you value most and you are committed to it, it’s easy to prioritize your time!

We are mostly going to use what you have at home!

Some additional items that will help include:

-A pop-up tunnel, perhaps a cloth tunnel
-Bosu, trampoline, or mattress to jump on
-beanbags, crashpads

putty, playdoh, clay

Understandably you want to know if this Foundations for Writing program will work for your child and what if it doesn't? If you're not sure or have any doubt if this program will help you and your child, email me about your child, your concerns, and a photo of their pencil grasp or writing. I will reply to your email and let you know if you are a good fit. I only want you to join if this is going to help and benefit you. I don't want to waste your time and effort, or mine to be honest. Message me at contact@ot4kids.co.uk or send me a private message in the Helping Kids Write FB group. Some parents wonder if they will be able to learn and help their own child? Your parents intuition will be the best help.

I teach you in a way that you'll get it.

Previous parents who have taken this program have said that I have clearly explained the concepts and they easily understood it. They've also said that the activity video demonstrations were easy to follow and it helped them to see me do the activities with my child so they knew exactly what to do with their child.

You can ask questions or request feedback anytime in the private FB group or scheduled zoom Q&A's and you'll get help.

Scroll up to read the Testimonials! 🥰 I am confident that the material in this course will help you improve your child's fine motor skills and writing via their foundational skills.

You receive a large amount of parent support to help you throughout this program. If you are ready to help your child and build momentum in developing their self-esteem, confidence, and motor skills, you'll get lots of support from me both on the zoom Q&A's and in the FB group.

I'm ready to go all in to help in this program - let's do this!

I recommend you focus on one child for this program so you can learn the material and put in all your efforts on them. As this is a group program, the support I provide you in the Zoom Q&A's and private FB group will be for one child.

If you've read this far I know that you're serious about helping your child's writing but have a few thoughts running through your mind.

Things like.....
What would happen if you asked, “What will this do for me and my child?" rather than "It’s too expensive, I can't afford this"?

Consider this to be an investment for your growth and your child's potential.

Also, is it more expensive to start helping your child NOW versus waiting till later?

What's the cost of not getting specialist support while kids' brain are so adaptable, and they highly benefit from Early Intervention .....due to the brain's neuroplasticity?

The value offered in this course is equivalent to 10 private treatment sessions with me plus five parent consultations. It will save you hours and hours of wasted time and energy searching for information on Google, second guessing what to do for your child, and finding out what other parents do that doesn't necessarily suit your child. This course is £397 which is the cost of 2 1/2 private sessions of me. That's about £40 / week for expert OT support!

Imagine being able to focus your time and energy on helping your child NOW through an actual treatment program with expert support!

In this course, you will learn more than just treatment activities.

I teach you the framework.

Once you know the 'formula,' you can implement it when it's the right time for your child as a natural part of their day.

Kids often refuse or avoid activities as they struggle to do them. When we work on the foundational skills, and they have the skills in place, they are more likely to choose to do tricky or challenging activities.

Children usually want to do the activities because they're fun, and if you need help to adapt or modify activities, ask me, I help you along the way.

This is why parents are the best to work with their kids. And you get to do the activities when it's the right time for your child versus at the time of a scheduled session.

In this program, you watch the video tutorials and the video demos of activities. I do the activities with my child so you can see how to do them with your own child. You then do the activities with your child. They do not have to watch the videos in this program unless you think that it's helpful for them to see another child doing the activities, or perhaps your child is older and interested in the science shared in the tutorials. However, the aim is to show you what to do with your child through fun.
