  • OT for Two Episode Season 2 Episode 2: In Your Own Time - Why Development Isn't a Race
    Feb 12 2026

    No two brains are wired the same — so why do we expect children to develop at the same speed? If you've ever found yourself worrying because another child "got there first," this episode is for you. We unpack why development isn't linear, why comparison steals perspective, and how to support your child, whether they need more time — or more challenge. With the right support, your child can keep moving forward in a way that works for their brain.

  • OT for Two Episode Season 2 Episode 1: Comparison is the thief of joy
    Jan 29 2026

    Comparison has a way of sneaking into parenting and stealing the joy — especially in mothers' groups, school yards, and scroll-heavy moments. In this episode of OT for Two, we unpack why "my way, my time" matters. Because children aren't spreadsheets, siblings aren't carbon copies, and development doesn't run on a group timeline. We talk confidence in your parenting choices, the spiral that comes from constant questioning, and why seeing your child as an individual (not a comparison point) changes everything. No race. No rankings. Just your child, in their own time and space.
