Why Comparison Doesn't Work

I want to clarify something important.

Yes, there are children whose hips look similar, and they are crawling, sitting, or even walking. But, that does not make the situations the same.

In Movement Lesson™, we don’t compare body parts—we look at how the system is functioning.

The difference here is not just the hips.

The difference is:

breathing

system stability

ability to organize under gravity

A child who can crawl is not in the same state as a child who is struggling to breathe.

Breathing is not just a function—it is the first way the body opposes gravity.

If a child is working to get their next breath:

- The body will prioritize survival

- not movement

- not milestones

So yes—another child may have similar hips and still move.

But if that child has stable breathing, visual engagement, and system organization, they are in a completely different place developmentally.

This is why comparison doesn’t work.

We’re not looking at what something looks like.

We’re looking at: What the system is capable of doing

And right now, the priority is not the hips.

It’s helping the system stabilize—starting with breathing.
