Yes. Parental involvement is a key part of this therapy’s success. Unlike some therapies where you drop your child off and pick them up later, Neuro-Developmental Therapy is a team effort between the practitioner, the child, and the parents. You will be given simple exercises to do with your child at home each day. This means you’ll need to set aside a few minutes daily to work one-on-one with your child on the prescribed movements. The good news is these exercises are usually very short (again, around 5–10 minutes a day in total) and straightforward. We understand families are busy, so we help you figure out how to fit the routine into your day. Many parents do the exercises at a consistent time (for example, every evening before bed or each morning before school) so it becomes a regular part of the family’s schedule. After a little while, it often becomes “just part of life,” much like brushing teeth before bed.
When you start the programme, the practitioner will teach you exactly how to do each exercise correctly and safely. You do not need any special background or training – we guide you step by step. In follow-up visits, we’ll also review the exercises with you and your child, answer questions, and make sure everything is going well. Parents sometimes worry, “What if I do it wrong?” Don’t worry – we will support you, and the movements are gentle and easy to learn. In fact, many parents find this daily routine becomes a special bonding time with their child. It’s a chance to engage one-on-one in a focused, calm way. Your positive attitude and consistency will also motivate your child.
We do emphasize consistency – doing the exercises daily (or as close to daily as possible) yields the best results. If you skip a day occasionally (life happens!), it’s okay; just get back to it the next day. The important thing is to keep at it long-term. Think of it like watering a plant a little every day so it grows strong, rather than dumping a bucket of water on it once a month. By being actively involved and encouraging your child, you are helping “water” those growing neural connections daily. Our team is here to cheer you on and provide encouragement or adjustments if you’re finding it tough to keep up. With commitment and our support, most families find a rhythm that works. In summary, parents do play an active role at home, but we make it as easy and rewarding as possible. You’re not in it alone – we’re here to guide you at each step, and the effort will be well worth the results you see in your child.
