Could it be ADHD? 🧠

All children can be distracted, impulsive, energetic or emotional from time to time. ADHD is about a persistent pattern of difficulties that has a meaningful impact on everyday life.

ADHD can look different from child to child. Some children may be restless and impulsive, while others may appear quiet, dreamy or easily distracted. They may also experience challenges with organisation, transitions, emotional regulation, friendships or everyday routines.

Being able to focus for hours on a favourite activity doesn’t automatically rule out ADHD. Children with ADHD can often concentrate deeply on things that are interesting, enjoyable or highly motivating.

It’s not about one behaviour. It’s about the overall pattern, how long it has been present, whether it occurs across different settings and the impact it has on your child’s learning, relationships, confidence and family life.

If you’re noticing ongoing difficulties and wondering whether an assessment could help, you don’t have to work it out alone. An assessment can provide a clearer understanding of your child’s strengths and needs, and help identify the right supports.

At Walky Talky Hub, we offer ADHD assessments for children aged 6 years and above.

🌋 Speech practice… with a side of VOLCANO! 🗣️🌋

This little client had a very exciting break during his speech therapy session this week with Speech Pathologist Sarah!

The volcano experiment was used as a highly motivating reinforcer between blocks of speech sound practice. After working hard on his target sounds, he got to mix, pour and watch his volcano bubble and erupt like lava! 🤩

And it worked a treat! He was so motivated to get back to his speech sound practice so he could have another turn with the volcano — and absolutely smashed his targets. 👏

We love finding the things that motivate each individual child and using their interests to make therapy engaging, meaningful and fun 😊

🌊 You can’t stop the waves… but you can learn to surf.

Parenting, relationships and life with children can bring plenty of unexpected waves. Big emotions, anxiety, challenging behaviour, parenting overwhelm, difficult transitions and moments that leave you wondering, “How am I supposed to handle this?”

Psychological support isn’t about making sure the waves never come. It’s about helping you understand what’s happening, build practical strategies and feel more confident navigating the difficult moments when they do.

At Walky Talky, Clinical Psychologist Lydia Cargeeg supports children, parents and families through challenges including anxiety, emotion regulation, parenting overwhelm, adjustment to parenthood and more — with a warm, practical and evidence-based approach.

Sometimes you don’t need the waves to stop. You just need a little support learning how to ride them. 💜

🏃‍♀️ Getting Your Child Ready for the Sports Carnival 🏆

Sports day can be exciting… and sometimes a little nerve-wracking for kids. The goal? To help them feel prepared, confident, and—most importantly—have fun!

Here are some simple tips from our Physios to set them up for success:
✅ Be Prepared – Find out the events ahead of time so you can support and practice the right skills.
✅ Break Down Skills – Practice small parts of each event (e.g., just stepping in and out of a sack before the whole sack race).
✅ Practice Running Technique – Good running form boosts speed, confidence, and reduces injuries.
✅ Build Ball Skills Gradually – Start with light, slow-moving objects like balloons or scarves before progressing to balls.
✅ Celebrate the Wins – Acknowledge their efforts, not just results. Tie celebrations to shared activities.
✅ Normalise Effort – Show them it’s okay to get hot, sweaty, and out of breath—it means they’re working hard!

💬 And remember, it’s okay for kids to feel nervous or disappointed sometimes. With the right support, they’ll bounce back and try again.

✨ At Walky Talky Hub, our physios help kids prepare for sports carnivals by building skills, confidence, and a positive association with movement—whether it’s running, ball games, or team events.
