At the heart of MLā„¢ is a commitment to demystifying the complex sequence of developmental milestones. We keep your focus on time-dictated development versus a slow, ā€˜wait and see’ approach.

We designed thisĀ workbook and course to offer a clear, detailed breakdown of each stage of touch needed to stimulate and enhance your child’s development, accompanied by a checklist of skills to help you recognize and understand the significance of these milestones.

You will find invaluable information on how to support your child in achieving each step, ensuring that you are equipped to guide them through their developmental journey with confidence.

Understanding that the process of supporting your child's development can sometimes feel overwhelming, Movement Lessonā„¢ places immense value on the emotional and psychological well-being of parents.

This workbook acknowledges the concerns you may have about delays or challenges into your plan of action and offers guidance to address them. It is a resource for empowerment, providing reassurance and strategies to manage the stresses that may accompany your child’s developmental pathway.Ā 

With these principles, we aim to shift the paradigm from reactive to proactive parenting. By moving children into progression rather than allowing them to remain in regression, we encourage a proactive approach to nurturing development. This means anticipating the needs of your child, staying informed about potential developmental milestones, and being prepared with strategies to encourage growth.

The Movement Lessonā„¢ Beginner's Touch Workbook is your first step towards becoming an informed, proactive, and empowered participant in your child’s developmental story. Together, we will pave the way for a lifetime of movement, growth, and discovery.
