The Little Gym UK at Home: Parent & Child 4-18 months Lesson 1

In this Parent and Child class, Amy explores gymnastics based activities to develop the proprioceptive sense for children aged 4 to 18 months. This means learning about body parts and spacial awareness through rotation, weight-bearing and movement. This important sense has receptors in our muscles, ligaments and joints that are supposed to tell us what our body parts are doing without looking at them. If this system isn’t fully awake, we have to help it out like tapping our foot if we are not sure where it is at the moment. So, as long as you are tapping you are good!
