The Incredible Importance of Developing the Vestibular Sense
Brilliant article!
This is exactly why we focus on movement and activities that stimulate the vestibular nervous system.

I vividly remember learning about the five senses when I was child. I remember doing worksheets that seemed extremely silly because the five senses seemed so intuitive. The worksheet might've...

Let the Babies Play
"At six months old – months before children will start talking – babies can actually recognise many basic nouns such as ball and dog. And now a new study has revealed that babies become confused when words have similar meanings."

* Unfolding Movement Series - Part Eight *
"If we give children enough space and possibilities for free movement, they will move as beautifully and gracefully as animals: nimbly, simply, confidently and naturally" - Dr Emmi Pikler
The images of this little guy really speak for themselves on this one...From laying on the back, to sitting with ease, grace and fluidity.
Hands and knees posture must come before a natural, independently achieved sitting position.
I just adore this guys posture as he sits perfectly balanced, with his wee foot tucked against his inner thigh for an extra stable, secure base. How does he know to do this? Because he has achieved it all on his own.
His intelligent body knows exactly what next step to take. He is not at risk of losing his balance and hitting his head, because he is READY to be here. He chose to be here.
Imagine you have been propped up in a sitting position. You do not yet know how to use your arms to help your upper body, stuck...rigid... Can you reach the things that interest you? Do you feel content and relaxed? What if you were to begin to grow tired? To wobble a little...nothing you can do to prevent your fall. In fact, your only way to get down from here, is to fall. Unless someone rescues you first.
Infants do not need to be propped up to sit! They will achieve this position in their own time, in their own way. When they do, their spine, neck and core will be ready. You will notice that infants who achieve sitting naturally, sit like little Yoga teachers with beautiful straight backs.
Babies truly are incredible!

Sprouts Child Development
Crossing midline is important for overall coordination, but also because it builds essential pathways in the brain! Strengthening this skill is vital for children getting ready to play sports, and also to help them build fine motor skills like writing, building with toys like Lego's, etc.

Sprouts Child Development
Have you ever seen a little one look from between their legs as they take in the world from an upside down point of view? Funny and cute, right? Well, it turns out that experimenting with being upside down is more than just cute!
As they grow, kids have the ability to contort their bodies into all kinds of crazy positions to get the sensory input they need to regulate their bodies and behavior, and to lay the foundation for the development of important motor skills.
Also the benefits of this gravity-defying feat include better posture, improved circulation, improved mood, better flexibility, better balance, improved upper body and core strength and more, AND it's even good for adults..why do you think so many of us like yoga 😊

"Something as simple as poor posture, a weak back and stomach, fragile arms, and frail hands and fingers can all relate back to how your child memorizes facts and retains information, speaks and expresses themselves."

Valuable information about the importance of movement AND interaction in early infancy/childhood!! The movement babies experience by lying on the floor, waving their arms and legs in the air, is ESSENTIAL to their development.

Hello Everyone!
So I am starting my new venture as a Children's Book Champion for Scholastic.
My main reasons for becoming a book champion is to get children excited and engaged with reading again, to step away from all the technology and explore some amazing stories, use their brilliant imagination that we know children all have!
We all know the world is slowly becoming all about technology. Let's step away from those tablets and smartphones and enjoy some brilliant books by amazing authors.
I personally, remember all of the classic children's books i read and enjoyed growing up and most are still available today for example, The lightkeepers Lunch, The Tiger Who Came To Tea, Elmer and of course The Very Hungry Caterpillar 😋 , plus many many more!
I do not have my own children yet but I worked with children for over 4 years and have an NVQ 3 in childcare, during my time working with children I loved to encourage reading and books.
Children are so imaginative and see the world in such a positive and beautiful way, books and great stories enhance this and can lead to using other elements of play such as role play, dance and music and arts and crafts.
I believe in introducing books from the very early years with children, it is a great bonding and communication tool for parents/carers, grandparents, siblings and all family and friends to be involved with.
I have lots of wonderful books to choose from at some absolutely amazing prices! With wide age ranges from 0-11years! We have activity packs, poetry, classic stories and stories that are made popular through film and TV.
Let's put the fun back in to reading with our youngsters! 📚📚📚🙌🏻☺
