Helping Kids Write Mini-Workshop
Build your child’s sensory, motor & emotional skills TODAY to improve their writing through this FUN online course with recorded videos.
Hi, I'm Munira!
I'm a Paediatric Occupational Therapist and have helped children's sensory processing and motor skills for writing for 24 years.
I’m also a mum to my own sensory kid. Because of him I've gotten first-hand experience being a sensory parent. He teaches and inspires me so I can use my journey as an OT and fellow mum to better help you.
I've created this program for 2 reasons:
1) I know what it's like to be a parent and feel alone, unheard by professionals, and not know where to start to get the support you need.
2) Most parents tell me that writing practice, fine motor exercises, and pencil grips have hardly helped their child's writing. And now their child has lost their self-esteem and confidence, and resists or refuses writing more.
Let's change that!
I’m here to help YOU help your child develop their foundational skills for writing through fun and connection so your child can write with ease, joy and confidence.
I believe kids are doing the best they can with what they have. Once they develop the right underlying sensory and motor skills they need, they then choose and want to write because they now have the skills to do so.
I also believe that as parents you have a gut instinct and deep intuition of how best to help your child. As a fellow parent, I know that nobody is as invested as we are in our own child.
In this DIY mini-workshop, you'll get clear what to do to help your child's writing and have a program of fun activities to do at home.
