🧠 Why Crossing the Midline is So Important for Kids' Development! 🚶‍♀️

Did you know that one simple skill—crossing the midline—plays a huge role in your child’s physical, cognitive, and emotional development? 🤔 When kids learn to reach across their body (like using their left hand to touch their right shoulder), they're strengthening vital connections in the brain that support coordination, focus, and even reading and writing! 📚✍️

Crossing the midline helps with:
✨ Bilateral coordination (using both sides of the body together)
✨ Hand-eye coordination
✨ Problem-solving and motor planning
✨ Attention and focus

Want some fun activities you can do at home to help your child practice crossing the midline—without even realizing they’re learning? Comment 🎉 and we will send the article your way!

Thank you Franklin County Board of Commissioners 🤍 Thank you Joy Bledsoe Bivens and the entire team for continuing to support our families after the event! Thank you Columbus City Schools leadership for the opportunity. Our students, staff and families appreciate the support! 🫶🏽
