During one of the occupational therapy sessions last week, our OT taught these little kids how to use a foldable umbrella (something to explore aside from the typical kid's umbrella)โa practical life skill, especially during the rainy season. ๐ง๏ธ
Learning how to use an umbrella is not only about keeping ourselves dry. It teaches children to ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐

๐ก And learning doesn't have to stop in therapy!
We encourage parents to let their children explore and practice using the different types of umbrellas ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒโwhether it's a foldable, straight, automatic, or another type. Each umbrella may work a little differently, giving children more opportunities to learn, adapt, and build confidence.
Whenever possible, let them try and practice with appropriate guidance and supervision, gradually giving them more responsibility as they become comfortable with the task.
Because everyday activities can become meaningful opportunities to build skills, confidence, and independence. Rainy season is also a learning season. โ๐
Stay safe and dry, everyone!
