Learning to Crawl w/ ‘Rocky Rocky’ – video
A couple months back, I wrote an article on the impact ‘Rocky Rocky’ has on helping little ones learn how to crawl. For details on this safe and effective exercise technique, please review the article.
I’ve since received a video that a Mom took of ‘Rocky Rocky’ in action and Mom was happy to have me share this with you.
Remember, crawling is a significant milestone that promotes greater core strength, greater spine stability and better coordination between arms and legs. I always get the question, ” Is it OK if my child skips crawling and goes right into walking?” My answer has always been that there are many young ones that skip crawling for one reason or another, but if parents can guide their child toward NOT skipping crawling, their child will derive the benefits of this significant milestone.
Enjoy the video and know that we are here to help!
