Gymbaroo - Baby Roo Ryde

The GymbaROO program encourages babies and children to achieve the essential developmental sequence of movements, optimising brain development. We provide lots of movement activities that help release those “feel good” hormones - endorphins - that help children think clearly, concentrate, nurture a healthy self-esteem, develop confidence and emotional regulation skills at every stage of development.

Children gain awareness and control of their bodies in sequence, from the top down and from the inside out.

Movement development in the early years happens step by step, building one competency upon another in a long journey toward fully coordinated, automated movement, with each individual developing uniquely, according to the needs of their own brain.

Early childhood movement involves an intricate weave of developmental engineering that encompasses the raw ingredients of movement including the reflexes, sensory tools and motor tools.

Movement is a three dimensional, dynamic puzzle that children are constantly striving to figure out, and can be broken down into three fundamental patterns: 1)Locomotion, 2)Stability, and 3)Manipulation.

All whole body movements are made up of a combination of these patterns and mastering them in both their simple and complex forms will eventually equate to a well coordinated, proficient and reliable skill set physically.

During the first years a child’s brain sets its priorities on a specific developmental calendar, and movement is one of its TOP priorities! This doesn’t mean that other areas of development aren’t simultaneously taking place, it just means that there is a BIG emphasis placed on movement itself.

In fact, movement is so important to the brain’s master plan that it will eventually become fully automated, so that the child will be able to move without having to think about it.

Motor development helps to conduct movement from the simplest to the most complicated. Locomotor skills are where the body moves from one place to another. Examples of locomotor skills include: galloping, jumping, throwing, tapping and kicking. These are all fundamental movements which are acquired during early childhood. Children’s locomotor skill development starts when a baby can turn himself onto his tummy and pull himself forwards with his arms.

In Week 6 our treasure bag item is deer 🦌🦌

If you have any deer 🦌 toys/craft or books with a deer 🦌🦌🦌 in them that you would like to bring in for treasure bag time, we would love to see them 😊

Coordination is defined as the ability to move different parts of the body independently or together. This fluency develops over many years through a kind of “bio-geometry” known as midlines.

Midline development is a slow, natural process that unfolds from birth as they develop, they help children isolate individual body parts for independent movement, then work to coordinate movements involving multiple parts of the body.

Bilateral, homolateral and lateral movements all keep the arms and legs on the same side of the body. Cross-lateral movements use the arms or legs to cross over one or more of the midlines.

Deliberate cross-laterality is the most complex of the midline movements, requiring a high degree of coordination. Crossing the midlines streamlines movement and plays a crucial role in preparing young minds for formal learning.

Lateral movement is when one part of the body moves in the opposite manner to the other. Crawling is generally the first sign of laterality. Crawling engages all three midlines simultaneously which supercharges the growth of the pathways spanning the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This independent movement requires something that hasn’t been all that necessary until now - planning! This is a major advancement for babies because it is a whole new way of moving and thinking. Deliberate movement awakens the notion of intent.

In infancy the vast majority of deliberate movement is bilateral (or mirrored) movements - when one side of the body does what the other side does. Using both sides helps develop body control, muscle strength and coordination. Initially the body and brain will develop evenly on both the left and right sides. However, until a child is able to alternate his/her arms and legs intentionally, crawling and walking aren’t possible. So around the time that a child starts to get up on all fours, nature is paving a way for the early stages of midline development.
