Occupational therapy for kids, and therapy with horses
Hey there, friend.
Two new health and wellness episodes are live.
Waiting on a diagnosis before you get help for your child? A pediatric occupational therapist shares what behavior is actually telling you, the signal that means call now, and why earlier is easier.
Do you feel like you have been stuck for years? Or maybe there is something you just cannot get past? A pharmacist and horsewoman tells you how a horse can read things before you ever say a word. Learn how her method is helping people across the country.
Let's dive in.
In case you missed it
Tantrum vs Meltdown: What to Do When Your Child Loses It
Kristin Wittmayer is a pediatric occupational therapist and the director of Move U in Sioux Falls. Occupational, physical and speech therapy, from infancy through the teen years.
Most of this one is about how kids develop. Sensory processing, motor planning, feeding, speech. Some of her clients are children with autism or other special needs. Many are parents who just had a question about their kid.
Her answer to "do we need a diagnosis first?" is no. Being curious about your child's development is enough to make the call.
She also explains how to tell a tantrum from a meltdown, and what to do in the moment.
Share this one with the parent who was told to wait and see.
Healing With Horses: What a Horse Sees in You That You Miss
Dr. Kimberly Ammerman is a practicing pharmacist who has spent more than 50 years around horses. She owns Healing Hearts with Horses in the Black Hills. She explains why a horse walks up to a calm person and moves away from an anxious one, and what that tells you about what you are carrying.
Everything happens on the ground. Nobody rides. You do not need to know a thing about horses.

Hey there friend, Let me ask you something. How long have you been told that the thing bothering you is just how it is now? Your feet burn at night. You are tired in a way sleep does not fix.
