About Adina

Hi, I’m Adina Green, an occupational therapist who works with young children and their families.

Why Thrive in Play

Toy shops sort toys by age, but children don’t develop by the calendar. Thrive in Play matches toys to the skills your child is building right now. Every toy comes with a guide: what it’s for, how it helps, and how to play with it as your child grows.

How toys are chosen

Every toy is selected and tagged by an occupational therapist against a development framework drawn from public milestone sources, including the CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early. milestones and the WHO motor development milestones. I only recommend toys I would suggest to the families I work with.

Not a substitute for an assessment

The guidance here is general information. If you are worried about your child’s development, speak to your paediatrician or a qualified therapist.
