Learn To Use Physical Activity To Raise An Emotionally Well-Balanced, More Coordinated, And Happier Child

Playful interaction beginning in infancy is crucial to a child's cognitive skills, language, speech, and overall emotional balance. Filled with practical, age-appropriate activities for children from newborns up to age five, Why Motor Skills Matter helps you to:

  • Integrate touch, movement, and body awareness during playtime.
  • Ensure that your child progresses through the proper developmental sequence.
  • Determine if your child has sensory processing difficulties or disorders.
  • Avoid common developmental mistakes, such as using exersaucers, having your child wear hard-soled shoes, and promoting early walking.
