You don’t need fancy equipment to help your baby build strength just a few gentle, intentional movements during playtime:

• Gentle neck stretches – Slowly guide your baby’s head side to side during calm moments to support neck mobility and symmetry.
• Modified bicycles – Moving the legs in a bicycle motion helps activate the core, hips, and coordination while supporting digestion.
• Side plank hold (assisted) – With your hands supporting their trunk, brief side-lying holds help build lateral core strength needed for rolling, sitting, and crawling.
• Tummy plank – Encourage tummy time with forearms under the shoulders to build shoulder, core, and postural strength for future milestones.

Keep it playful, follow your baby’s cues, and stop if they show signs of fatigue. Little moments of movement add up to big gains 💪👶

✨ Not sure if your baby is moving the way they should? Let’s take the guesswork out.

🚨Does your baby get “stuck” in sitting?
Do they hesitate to move out of sitting, avoid transitions, or feel unsure getting onto hands and knees?

Try this at home: Gentle glute activation
✨ Side-sitting play – encourages hip loading and trunk rotation
✨ Supported tall kneeling – activates glutes while keeping baby secure
✨ Hands-and-knees rocking – builds strength + confidence without pressure

Why parents choose Little Explorers Therapy

At Little Explorers, we don’t just “work on milestones.”
We look at how your child moves, why they’re stuck, and what their nervous system needs to feel safe exploring.

Every child develops movement in their own way, but when motor skills feel hard, delayed, or inefficient, Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) helps uncover the why, not just the what.

😇NDT is a hands-on, individualized approach to pediatric physical therapy that focuses on how your child’s brain and body communicate to create movement.

💡Instead of forcing milestones or drilling exercises, we gently guide your child’s body into more efficient movement patterns helping them feel safer, stronger, and more confident as they move.

💯Because progress isn’t just about milestones.
It’s about helping your child move through the world with confidence, ease, and joy 🤍

🧠 Movement starts in the brain.

💡How to Gently Challenge a 6-Week-Old in Tummy Time

😇At 6 weeks, tummy time should focus on building early neck and back strength while keeping baby regulated.

😇During tummy time, encourage brief head lifts and weight bearing through the forearms to activate the upper back and neck muscles.

💡To add a gentle challenge, assist your baby into a sidelying position and hold the transition for 3 seconds before returning to tummy time.

🔑This brief pause activates the trunk and back muscles, promotes midline control, and supports early postural strength, all without overstimulation.

Keep sessions short, responsive, and playful. Quality movement matters more than duration at this age. 💛

👉 Save this for your daily tummy time routine

“It’s just a mild flat spot…”
🚨But did you know even a mild flat spot on your baby’s head (positional plagiocephaly) can impact more than appearance?

A flat spot can be a sign of:
• Limited neck rotation or preference to one side
• Reduced tummy time tolerance
• Delayed head control
• Asymmetrical rolling and crawling patterns
• Core and postural weakness
• Poor midline orientation

✨ The good news? Early intervention makes a BIG difference.

👉 No referral needed at Little Explorers Therapy
👉 Trust your instincts. If something feels “off,” you’re probably right.
👉 Empower yourself as a parent, early support matters.
💬 Comment “FLAT SPOT” or DM us to learn how we can help your little one thrive.

Exercises you can try with your 1-month-old 🤍
These gentle movements help support early mobility, body awareness, and comfort when done correctly and safely.

✨ Gentle pull/tag while lying down – Always support your baby’s head and shoulders. Use slow, controlled movements to encourage early core activation and midline awareness. Stop if your baby shows any signs of discomfort.

✨ Hip circles – Soft circular motions help promote hip mobility and relaxation. Keep movements small and smooth, never force the range.

✨ Guppy stretch – This gentle chest-opening stretch supports extension, breathing expansion, and postural development. Make sure baby stays relaxed and comfortable throughout.

Teaching Your Child How to Walk: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and When to Seek Help 👣

🚩 Red Flags to Watch For:
-Not pulling to stand by 10–12 months
-Not taking independent steps by 15 months
-Always standing on tiptoes
-Very stiff or very floppy legs
-One leg doing most of the work (asymmetry)
-Frequent falls with poor balance compared to peers
-Skipping crawling and struggling with standing balance

✨ How Pediatric PT Can Help:

We don’t just “teach walking” we address the root causes. Through play-based, neurodevelopmental strategies, we help improve:
🔑Core and leg strength
🔑Balance and postural control
🔑Weight shifting and coordination
🔑Foot alignment and gait patterns
🔑Confidence in movement

💛 If you’re unsure 🫤 trust your gut. You don’t need to “wait and see.”
Getting a professional screening can bring clarity and peace of mind.

📩 Message us to schedule a developmental screening or virtual consult.

If you’re unsure about your child’s motor or sensory development, acting early makes a big difference. The early years are when the brain and body are most adaptable.

🚩5 Common Red Flags
‼️Delayed milestones (not sitting by 9 months, not walking by 18 months)
‼️Frequent falls or poor balance
‼️Low tone or stiffness (very floppy or very tight movements)
‼️Strong sensory reactions (avoids textures, movement, or noise)
‼️Using one side more than the other (poor coordination or symmetry)

👉 Don’t wait
early intervention matters. Book a PT + OT collaborative screening today.

Why We Don’t Love 🧦 for Motor Development

It might seem like a small thing, but those tiny socks could actually be slowing your baby down! Babies and toddlers learn to move through touch and feel with their feet.

Bare feet allow them to:
✅Feel the floor: This helps develop balance, coordination, and proper foot positioning.
✅Grip and push: Tiny toes act like natural tools for crawling, standing, and walking.
✅Build strength: Bare feet encourage muscles in the feet, ankles, and legs to work harder.

💡 Tip: Let your baby spend safe floor time barefoot on carpet, mats, or clean surfaces. It helps them discover movement, build strength, and develop confidence from the very first wiggles to rolling, crawling, and eventually pulling up!
