Our Approach

The F-words emphasize your child’s strengths, interests and your family’s values. They remind us to focus on what children CAN do.

They highlight the importance of all the elements of a child’s health and well-being, including social relationships and meaningful participation at home, in school, childcare and in the community.

 

Based on research & built on the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Framework. www.canchild.ca/f-words
  • Kids live & thrive with their families
  • The family is the expert on the child
  • What activities do you want to do together?
  • How can our team help your child participate fully in those experiences?
  • Fun is an essential part of childhoodFwords-Fun-Image
  • What activities does your child enjoy most?
  • What activities would your child like to try?
  • Building supportive friendships & positive social relationships are important for all childrenFwords-Friends-Image
  • Talk about the social connections in your child’s life so our team can help you grow those relationships
  • Function = the ability to do an activity with or without supportFwords-Function-Image
  • Do activities without focusing on the outcome
  • Talk about how your child plays and functions in daily life
  • Health is related to staying physically & mentally fit
  • What makes it easy or hard for your child to become and stay active & healthy?
  • Child development = keeping your child’s future in viewFwords-Future-Image
