Crossing the midline plays a part in everything we do! Reading, writing, catching a ball, getting dressed, sitting cross-cross-applesauce, play, self-care...everything!

So, what exactly is midline? Midline of the body is an imaginary line that drops from the middle of the head, strait down over the nose, to the belly button and divides the body into left and right sides. Examples of crossing midline include:
👈Moving the left hand/arm/foot/leg across this line to the right side (and vise versa). Twisting the body in rotation around this imaginary line
👉Leaning the upper or body across the middle of the body
👈Touching the opposite side of the page when reading, writing, or cutting.
👉SO much more!

Here are fun ways to address and develop this skill:
