☀️🌿 Make #TummyTime into a sensory outdoor experience! Grab a soft blanket or mat and place it under a clean, shaded area on the grass. By changing up the environment, baby can experience new smells, sounds, and sights! 📷: Calesse S. More tips: bit.ly/3EnWpFE

See how baby's hands open and come together at midline? Watch to see how a 3 month old with typical development uses different parts of their body while in the side lying position. Watch full video here: bit.ly/4c5I54d #motorskills #physio #pediatrictherapy #pediatrics

RT @PathwaysOrg … I’m proud to be “Atypical”. Though, I choose to talk music and helping others rather than personal struggles on social media, I’m not embarrassed, the road to success is always a long with unknown stops along the way. 🙏

TY, wished to say that I appreciate your content and I share your developmental milestones pages with families and educators. As a clinician working with neurounique children we do "tummy time" activities through the teen years for proprioceptive and vestibular strength.
Tummy Time helps baby build muscles they will use to hit important milestones, like rolling, sitting, & crawling. They can start doing it daily right when they come home from the hospital! Learn more: pathways.org/topics-of-devel… #tummytime #motordevelopment

Skip the flashcards! Learning happens best through natural play and interaction. Follow your child's interests and "serve and return" their communication. #PlayfulLearning #serveandreturn #executivefunctioning developingchild.harvard.edu/…

Your child may not be walking or talking yet, but with your help they can definitely boogie. So turn on some music and hold them as you dance around. When you sit down together, shake your arms to the music and see if they can do the same! #VroomTip

One of the easiest ways to add #BrainBuilding into your day is by noticing what interests your child and responding. It’s that simple. Encouraging them to stay curious and continue learning helps to develop their communication skills. Give it a try today!

Babies feel good about themselves as they explore and discover their world. Over time and with lots of practice they will be able to master gross motor movements, fine motor movements and the coordination to walk, run, jump, hop and skip. #HPD #Movement #Peep
