We see it all the time: parents feeling overwhelmed, wondering, “Is my child’s behaviour normal? Am I doing something wrong?” Often, expectations are just set a little too high for tiny, developing brains. So many of the challenging behaviours we see are actually completely typical steps in childhood development. Kids are still learning how their minds and bodies work!

Swipe through to see what is actually going on beneath the surface of these common behaviours, and how you can support your child in building the skills they need for the future. 👉

Save this post for the next time you need a little reminder that you (and your child!) are doing just fine. 💙

Hi Parents

We are Jess and Brad, 4th year OT students doing our Uni placement project in Victor Harbor with Strive Kids Hub.

We’re exploring ways to improve collaboration between schools, families, and allied health professionals across the Fleurieu Peninsula to better support children and families.
We’d love to hear from local families, caregivers, educators, and allied health professionals about your experiences, challenges, and ideas. Please scan the QR code or click the link for the survey so we can get your insight!

💙 Apraxia Awareness 💙

At Strive Kids Hub we understand that Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) impacts so much more than just talking. It can affect a child’s confidence, participation in everyday activities, social connection, play, learning, and emotional wellbeing.

Children with CAS often know exactly what they want to say, but have difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed for speech. This can make communicating frustrating and exhausting at times. Over time, some children may begin avoiding group activities, social interactions, or situations where they feel misunderstood.

Research supports early, consistent, strengths-based intervention that focuses not only on speech development, but also on helping children participate meaningfully in daily life, build confidence, and experience success. Occupational Therapy can play an important role alongside Speech Pathology by supporting:
✨ confidence and self-esteem
✨ emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
✨ social participation and peer interaction
✨ play skills and engagement
✨ sensory and motor coordination needs
✨ participation in school, family routines, and community activities

At Strive, we focus on the whole child — celebrating communication in all forms while creating safe, supportive opportunities for children to engage, connect, and thrive. Sometimes the biggest wins are not just new words, but a child joining in, feeling understood, trying again, or building confidence to participate in the world around them. 💙

Every child deserves to feel capable, included, and heard.

When the little ones start remembering and mimicking specific movements in songs we play in our sessions. Such a joy to watch the growth each week 🌟

Hi everyone,

We are Jess & Brad, 4th year OT students completing our Participatory Community Project (P*P) at Strive Kids Hub in Victor Harbour over the next 10 weeks, and we would love to hear from you.

A P*P focuses on working collaboratively with services and communities to address real-world challenges.

Our project aim:
Strengthening collaboration between Allied Health Professionals and Schools across the Fleurieu Peninsula.

With the growing demand for paediatric services and ongoing changes within the NDIS, we know many families, educators, and therapists are navigating:
Fragmented systems
Unclear roles
Limited opportunities to collaborate.
We are passionate about co-developing practical, community-informed strategies that focus on the needs of your community as a whole.

The following surveys will allow us to hear your voice! We want to find out:
How families, educators and allied health professionals are communicating and collaborating.
The strengths and weaknesses of current methods.
What types of practical tools, resources, or strategies could provide children and young people more consistent support.

Along with the QR codes on our flyer, here at the links to each survey:
Allied Health Professionals: Allied Health Professionals Survey – Fill out form
Educators: Educators Survey – Fill out form
Parents/Caregivers: Parent/Caregiver Survey – Fill out form

All responses are anonymous and will help our project immensely. If you have any additional questions or are interested in speaking to us more, please feel free to reach out to us via email: [email protected] or [email protected]

Thank you in advance, and we look forward to connectin

All the fun, none of the clean-up, how good does that sound?

We often hear parents say " Oh I could never do this at home the mess would stress me out "

At Strive we feel like The mess is where the magic happens & this is a big part of why we love what we offer in our playgroup sessions. Children learn by doing and doing is noisy, untidy, messy & unpredictable.

Let them get messy, kids are washable 🧼🛁🚿
