A child that is seeking proprioceptive input may often crash their body into things, jump a lot on the furniture, or constantly chew on non-food objects. \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy work targets the proprioceptive system and is often recommended by occupational therapists for children with sensory processing difficulties. However, heavy work can benefit all children to help calm and organize the brain and improve body awareness. But wait, what is heavy work? Heavy work is any activity that pushes or pulls against the body, providing resistance. Animal walks are a fun way to incorporate heavy work at home or school. Heavy work can also help reduce stress and anxiety and improve self-regulation skills.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis picture book is suitable for children ages 3-10 and is a wonderful tool for parents, therapists and educators to unlock the magic of movement!
