Before
We were constantly reminding our daughter what needed to happen next.
After
Having her routine visible and easy to follow has helped her become more independent and has cut down on so many daily reminders.

Everything parents ask before joining
Practical answers about how Growing Balanced fits into your family's real days.
What is Growing Balanced?
Growing Balanced is an all-in-one occupational therapy parenting platform created by a pediatric OT. It combines visual schedules, sensory and emotional regulation strategies, developmental milestone tracking, parent guides, and printable resources so families have real support for everyday challenges — not just a schedule.
Who is Growing Balanced for?
Growing Balanced is built for parents of children ages 2–10, especially families navigating big emotions, sensory sensitivities, attention and focus challenges, transitions, or developmental milestones. It's also used by teachers, caregivers, and therapists who want practical OT-informed tools they can share with families.
Is Growing Balanced the same as occupational therapy?
No. Growing Balanced is an educational parenting platform that shares OT-informed strategies and tools. It is not a substitute for individual occupational therapy, medical advice, or a formal evaluation. If your child needs a diagnosis or 1:1 therapy, please reach out to a licensed OT in your area.
Do you support kids with autism or ADHD?
Yes. Many of our routines, sensory supports, co-regulation scripts, and executive function tools are especially helpful for neurodivergent kids — including children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, or anxiety. All strategies are written to work for a wide range of learners.
How much does Growing Balanced cost?
Free plan is free forever and includes a starter routine, limited activities, and free parent guide previews. Premium unlocks the full toolbox, unlimited children, personalized OT strategies, development tracking, and the full guide library. Premium starts with a 14-day free trial — Monthly $4.99 or Yearly $39.99. Cancel anytime.
Can I share the schedule with a co-parent, teacher, or therapist?
Yes. Every routine can be shared with caregivers, teachers, or therapists as Viewers, Loggers, or Editors — so everyone supporting your child stays on the same page without extra apps or exports.
Do you offer free parent resources?
Yes. We publish free 5-page starter guides for emotional regulation, sensory regulation, co-regulation, attention & focus, and development — plus printable feelings charts, visual schedules, and blog articles. Browse them at growingbalanced.com/resources.
Feeling less overwhelmed starts today.
Start with one routine, one moment, one small change. Growing Balanced grows with your family — helping you build calmer, more connected days, one step at a time.
