Occupational therapy support for school and preschool-age children

ΗThe moment when we first accompany our six-year-old child to school is pivotal, both for us as parents and for the child.
A six-year-old child, theoretically, meets the necessary requirements to become a student. A six-year-old child, theoretically, meets the necessary conditions to become a student. These conditions include physical, cognitive, emotional, and social maturity for this age.
Occupational therapy can play a crucial role in enhancing the child's required maturity for entering elementary school, helping them to "take on" the role and responsibilities of a student with greater ease.

Enhancement of motor skills

The use of exercises aimed at improving mobility and balance contributes to the child's smooth integration into the school environment. Encouraging parents to involve the child in sports or dance provides additional benefits in strengthening motor skills.

Support of handwriting

Handwriting is the method of recording speech and thought using symbols (letters, punctuation marks, etc.). Strengthening fine motor skills, such as holding a pencil and writing with precision, through exercises, prepares the child to better meet the demands of first grade in elementary school.

Development of social skills

The use of occupational therapy activities enhances social interaction and collaboration with other children. Encouraging parents to have their child participate in group games and activities further contributes to the development and maturation of their social skills.

Support for organization and autonomy

Supporting a young student’s autonomy and organizational skills helps them gradually take responsibility for their academic journey. This means they can progressively understand the purpose and content of lessons, and also become aware of the study methods that will lead to the best possible outcomes. Through specialized occupational therapy activities, children can improve their ability to organize daily tasks and enhance their independence.

Development of self-esteem

The self-image that each individual has of themselves is shaped during childhood. The role of parents in this process is crucial as they act as a “mirror” for the child’s inner world. Therefore, what the child sees in the “mirror” becomes the sense of self they develop. Parents can enhance the child’s self-esteem by encouraging them to recognize their abilities, talents, and every positive traits. Occupational therapy, through targeted counseling interventions, supports parents in fostering a positive self-image for the child as they begin their academic life. In conclusion, occupational therapy significantly aids in the smooth transition from preschool to school life by adapting to each child's needs.
