Some of our children haven't had the best start to their development. They've been in social isolation, not experiencing the connection and sensations of get togethers, parks, playgrounds, parties. Our 2020 and 2021 babies spent more time indoors than our brain and body require for wellbeing, health, and development. There was nothing we could do about it, but the good news now is that we can be aware of the challenges and aim to bridge the gaps as much as we can. In this episode I chat about what we're currently seeing, and a few quick tips that you can do straight away to help bring positive change to our current preschoolers and primary aged children. For more information join my Let's Move program - https://www.playmoveimprove.com.au/products/lets-move-the-ultimate-motor-skills-toolkit-and-coaching-program-for-early-childhood-teams I look forward to chatting more with you about this in the coming months.

As a paediatric Exercise Physiologist I often refer my clients to kindergym and gymnastics programs to work on their fundamental movement skills while also completing their Exercise Physiology programs.

In this episode you will learn about skills such as reflex integration, bilateral coordination, crossing the midline, and vestibular balance.
