Struggles with reading and writing often involve more than letters.

Criss Cross Applesauce: Does your kiddo frequently sit in the “w” position? Try this fun activity to encourage increased hip mobility with criss cross applesauce. Keep a balloon in the air using only your hands. You can hit the balloon back and forth with a partner to encourage reaching outside of the base of support.

• Grasp a rattle when it’s placed in their hand
• Reach toward and touch toys
• Bat at dangling objects with their hands
• Respond to a smile with a smile
• Prefer looking at human faces most

These early skills build the foundation for motor development, social connection, and learning. Every baby develops at their own pace—but if you have questions or concerns, occupational therapy can help support your child’s growth early on.
