Allowing your baby to experience small, safe falls is one of the best things you can do for their development.
Fallings helps activate the vestibular system (balance) and proprioception (body awareness), wiring protective responses that build true balance and independence.
Here’s how to practice falling safely at home:
• Use a soft surface (play mat or carpet)
• Stay close and supervise
• Support at the hips instead of under the arms
• Allow controlled, small tumbles, not big drops!
Save this for later & share with a new parent 🤍
