The 6 Foundational Movements Behind Every Milestone

Parents are often taught to celebrate milestones.

Development happens before the milestone.

Rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking are outcomes.

Transitional developmental movements are the skills that organize those outcomes.

If the transitions are missing, milestones may become delayed, inefficient, or compensatory.

An optimally developing child maintains visual interest while learning movement.

As reaching, rolling, sitting, and crawling emerge, vision and movement develop together.

When developmental movement breaks down, visual organization often becomes fragmented as well.

Movement is the foundation of development.

Before a child can sit, crawl, communicate, point, interact, or learn, they must organize movement against gravity.

Developmental movements teach the nervous system how to adapt to the environment.
