Looking for a tip to conquer independent standing? Your little one seems close, but won’t let go of your fingers or furniture? Try standing at a wall or door, looking outside is an extra fun bonus. Have them play with one hand and this will challenge their balance and build confidence to start letting go! We love flower spinners for this activity but any suction toys will work! #independentstanding #buildingblocks #firststeps #standingbalance #squigz #flowerspinner #tipsforstanding

So often when I see kids for constipation they are scared of poop. Scared to talk about it, sit on the potty, or try to poop. To help make it fun I let them listen to their bowel sounds, we make poop out of play dough and more. There is so many things that can make pooping scary or difficult for your little one. Physical Therapy can help teach your little one how to poop and make sure they have all the skills do poop quickly and easily. Every child is different. How I talk about bowel and bladder with kids depends on their age, past experiences and how they talk about toileting at home. Need help? Download our constipation SOS guide to get started.

Have them play in this “zig-zag” stretch, named by one of my patients! Both legs making a 90 degree angle. It doesn’t seem like work so easy to integrate and it’s the perfect and easy way to increase internal hip rotation to help relax the pelvic floor! #withholdingtips #fearofpooping #constipationproblems #constipationtip #heretohelpyoubloom
