http://pediatricot.blogspot.com/2012/01/twenty-four-reasons-why-child-cant-sit.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. Twenty Four Reasons Why a Child Can't Sit Still. 1 The child does not get enough exercise. Children require huge amounts of movement, preferably outside, every single day. Movement and exercise is as essential as food for children in order to stay organized, develop and mature their nervous systems, improve their coordination, strength and motor planning, and to be healthy! Or have him play an exercise game on his Wii. 3 The child's chair/desk at school does not fit. And peopl...

pediatricOT: Ten Ideas For Building and Improving a Child's Attention Span
http://pediatricot.blogspot.com/2010/05/ten-ideas-for-building-and-improving.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. Ten Ideas For Building and Improving a Child's Attention Span. Since everyone is entitled to my opinion, I firmly believe that much of modern life is the culprit in a mass tendency here in the U.S. to shortened attention spans, and not only in children. Some things we can do: eat better, turn off the electronic devices, get outside and play more, and return to the very human occupation of making things. And inexpensive wind instruments, like ocarinas, harmonicas, and recorders.

Chewing can help a child dampen sound. Gum is very good, if your child's teeth permit. I would strongly advise you not to supply ...You c...

pediatricOT: Low Tone
http://pediatricot.blogspot.com/2010/04/low-tone.html
Monday, April 19, 2010. As far as I know, there is no one definitive reason for low tone. Some people believe that it is a nutritional issue, and that for some reason the body is not delivering, {perhaps because of dietary issues or metabolic difficulties} or the muscles are not utilizing, the raw materials needed for maintenance and sustained use. The child's muscles don't develop well, and so they tire easily. Mon Apr 19, 12:56:00 PM MST. Tue Apr 20, 09:36:00 AM MST. I am looking forward to learning fr...
