We did our first FW in ped’s this week. I have always worked with the geriatric population and I have thought maybe I would like to work in the pediatric field when I graduate. I’m so glad I have this opportunity to determine how I feel about this field. Our teachers have drummed into our heads Tx sessions should be fun and to have several activities planned for 1 Tx session. Oh, how right they were!! Both of my children, who are in Kindergarten and 1st grade, we did a fun assessment activity, and 3 one on one activity in a 45 minute session. Now I see how significant craft activities are going to be in this particular field. Play is children’s occupation!! Boy, will I be researching all sorts of craft ideas to keep my Tx sessions fun!! And I have to admit I enjoy planning something fun and occupational based.
I think the next couple of sessions will be difficult for me because one of my children speaks no English. I think I worry unnecessarily about the future sessions with her because it is a new situation. I get anxious when I have to go into a situation and have no experience. But I am looking forward to this challenge knowing that I will develop news skills that I will use in the future.
