Have you noticed your child prefers to walk on their toes vs. the sole of their feet? If so, your child may benefit from physical therapy.

Addressing this concern early is critical for decreasing the chance of developing a habitual gait pattern as your child grows and develops. Children who walk up on toes are at risk for muscular tightness with limited mobility found at their ankle, and also increases the stress placed at the knees and hips.

Does your baby always preferred to look one direction, their head is often tilted to the side, or a flattening is developing on the back or side of their head. If so, then your child may have Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT). Untreated Torticollis can lead to a condition known as plagiocephaly, characterized by the flattening of the back or side of a baby’s head, and may also be associated with asymmetrical facial features.

Toddler Tips Tuesday

How can you help your baby master belly to back rolling? By helping them improve their ability to initiate and control side to side weight shifting when on their belly. A good way to encourage, and work on this skill is by placing cause and effect toys (think pop up, light up or sounds toys) or objects that can be easily knocked over (a foam roller standing up, a stack of blocks, or a roly poly toy) to encourage repetitive reaching. Every time your little one goes to knock over the stack of blocks they must first figure out how to shift their body to the side, which is a crucial component for rolling belly to back. Below are some links to great cause and effect toys!
