Our Pilates program has been developed with the early childhood curriculum and child development in mind by our founder and Child Development Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Liz Dawson. We have been visiting childcare centers and Kindergartens across QLD since 2010 and we are so passionate about what we do! We are now offering Courses for Allied Health Professionals and Early Childhood Educators to help promote our mission. Our courses are all self paced, online and you can sign up at any time. Learn about how all key areas of development are impacted by one another and how to modify exercises to make them powerful for child development.

📚 Book Week is exciting… but not for every child.

For some kids, Book Week means choosing a favourite character, dressing up and proudly walking in the parade.

For others, it can feel like a lot.

A different routine.
A costume that feels uncomfortable.
A noisy, busy parade.
More people watching.
The pressure to choose a character or “join in”.
Not knowing exactly what is going to happen.

For children who find changes in routine, sensory input, social situations or big environments tricky, Book Week can take a lot more energy than we realise.

So if your child doesn’t want to wear the costume, needs to take it off halfway through, hangs back from the parade or seems completely exhausted afterwards, it doesn’t mean they didn’t enjoy Book Week.

They may simply have been working really hard to manage everything around them.

A few things can help:

• Let them try the costume on beforehand
• Choose comfort over the “perfect” costume
• Talk through what the day will look like
• Give them permission to participate in their own way
• Build in movement and downtime before and after
• Keep expectations flexible

And remember, participation doesn’t have to look the same for every child.

Sometimes wearing a favourite T-shirt, carrying the book or watching the parade from somewhere they feel safe is participation too.

At Kids Heart Pilates, we want kids to feel confident joining in, but we also want them to know that being included doesn’t mean having to cope in exactly the same way as everyone else. 💛

✔ Structured, movement-based sessions⁠
✔ Perfect for younger kids AND those needing extra support⁠
✔ NDIS-friendly⁠

POV: Your client cancels… after you’ve already planned the session, set everything up and you’re READY to go 😂

Cancellations are one of those parts of working in paediatrics that we can’t always avoid.

So what do we do?

Make the most of it. 😂💙

Test the activities. Try the equipment. Have a laugh with the team. And probably discover a few new ideas for the next session while we’re at it.

Because at KHP, we’re big on progress over perfection and sometimes that means rolling with the unexpected.

Plus… we did all that set-up. Someone may as well enjoy it. 😂

Core strength for kids doesn’t have to mean sit-ups

In fact, some of the best ways to build it look a lot more like PLAY.

Crawling, balancing, reaching, holding, climbing and moving in different positions all ask the core to switch on and do its job.

A strong core helps give kids the foundation they need for things like:
💙 balance and coordination
💙 posture
💙 running and jumping
💙 sitting and learning
💙 everyday play

The trick? Make it fun enough that they don’t even realise they’re working on it 🩷

Sometimes you can see that your child needs a little extra support but you’re not quite sure where to start.

They might find it harder to keep up with their peers, avoid certain physical activities, tire quickly, struggle with balance or coordination, or simply lack confidence in their body.

Our Kids Heart Pilates private sessions start by getting to know your child and understanding how they move.

We assess areas such as strength, balance, coordination, running, jumping and functional movement, then create a personalised therapy program around their goals, interests and needs.

Sessions are fun and engaging but behind every game, obstacle course and movement challenge is a therapeutic purpose.

And every three months, we review their progress so you can see how far they’ve come.

Build strength. Develop skills. Grow confidence.
