baby’s Dance of Development – Parent Benefits

Moving together, you will recognize your baby’s developmental movement patterns form the foundation of our adult movement repertoire. We use these fundamental movement sequences in many of our daily activities, from rolling out of bed, to creeping under a table to get a toy, reaching up for an object on a high shelf and squatting down to communicate at eye level with a toddler. Exploring these movements during your baby’s first year, you will experience a wide range of physical, emotional and cognitive benefits. Notice how you will:

• improve your posture and move with greater agility
• interact more spontaneously in play with your baby
• feel revitalized with renewed zest
• experience increased confidence as a parent
• appreciate each stage of your baby’s development
