What does hopping teach?! * Balance – teaches them to control their body while supported on just one leg.
* Single-leg strength – strengthens the ankles, calves, knees, hips and glutes.
* Core stability – the tummy and back muscles work to keep the body upright.
* Coordination – the brain has to coordinate balance, leg movement and landing at the same time.
* Motor planning – they learn how much force to use to push off and how to position their body to land.
* Proprioception/body awareness – helps them understand where their body is in space.
* Foot and ankle stability – important for running, jumping, climbing and gymnastics.
* Confidence – mastering a one-foot hop is a lovely gross-motor milestone at this age. Ages the older 3 year old - 4 years plus.

Can you see Peppa Pig enjoying jumping with TWO FEET into those muddy puddles! This little Peppa can do it all by herself. Oink-oink!

Here are some coaching prompts for our parents to assist their child.

*Start with feet together -bend knees and say “1, 2, JUMP!” into the hoop.

* Parent-assisted jumping: For younger toddlers, the parent holds both hands and gives a little assistance as the child bends and pushes off with both feet.
* Jump and freeze: Jump into the hoop and then freeze like a statue. This helps teach a controlled two-foot is: “Feet together, bend down, swing your arms… JUMP!” rather than focusing too much on technical language.

Give me a thumbs up if this was useful to you!

Hanging helps toddlers build grip, upper-body and core strength, while improving coordination, body awareness and confidence. It’s also a great foundation for climbing and future gymnastics skills.
