Super Baby Secret #2 - All Babies Need to Move
It's obvious that all babies need to move, but there is more to baby movements that meets the eye.

You Want Your Baby to Experience "Normal" Development?
I say "normal" because what is "normal?" I want to redefine what you think about baby movements and what they mean for your baby's future development.
Atypical Development

Your child can experience "normal" development, but not in the way you...
What are the Vision Milestones?
What are the vision milestones?
We have baby milestones, but how does a child's visual development correlate with those milestones.
I have a free webinar, VISION AND MOVEMENT SECRETS OF CORTICAL VISUAL IMPAIRMENT (CVI), that you should watch. CLICK HERE.
Should you still watch if your child doesn't have Cortical Visual Impairment? It wouldn't hurt.
What is vision and how do we teach a child how to see?
I have spent over a decade figuring that one out on my own because no professional or therapist had the answer.
Yes, I had the CVI ranges, but that didn't give me a solution on steps I could take to teach my child to see and how to track that vision.
In my free webinar, I teach you about 10 vision and movement secrets of CVI, but then I teach you about an assessment tool and a course I developed that teaches you how to track the progression of your child's vision and gives you a plan on how to manually start teaching your child how to see.

Vibration Machines and Milestones
We all want our special children to create vertical milestones and other milestones, whether it's cerebral palsy, autism, or any other diagnosis.
Who wouldn't want our child to walk?
Many go to a vibration machine. Why? I'm still struggling with the answer to that.

Alternatives to Tummy Time - Birth to 3 months - the Absolute Horizon
What is Tummy Time?
Yes, I am working on tummy time with this baby,
BUT...
are you here because your baby is not doing tummy time, or you want your child to be better at tummy time?
You are learning about when to start tummy time, and you are wondering the tummy time age.
You know that tummy time is important, but maybe your baby can't do tummy time, or won't do tummy time.
Maybe your baby is past the tummy time age and you are wondering if you can still teach your baby tummy timer.
Is it okay for your baby to skip tummy time if the baby just can't do it?
Tummy time is essential to your baby's movement health, but there are circumstances where it's not safe for the baby, the baby doesn't like tummy time, or your baby can't do tummy time due to a genetic condition or something outside of your control.
It's not too late you teach your baby tummy time.
When a child has established their absolute horizon, tummy time becomes easier.
It's Not Too Late...
