Every milestone matters, and every step builds a strong foundation for the next stage.

If your little one is eager to walk but hasn’t spent much time crawling, it’s a great idea to incorporate crawling activities into their playtime.

Crawling isn’t just about getting from Point A to Point B. It’s a powerhouse milestone that strengthens so many essential skills your child will use for life. See the attached slides!

As pediatric therapists, we’re here to support you in nurturing all stages of your child’s development!

Have questions or concerns about your child’s motor milestones? Let’s chat! Early support makes all the difference. Send us a message or give us a call!

The Centerpointe team loved learning about the Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) approach with HBCC. It is such an impactful way to reframe behavior and relationally support children in participating in their needed daily activities! There will be more professional collaboration and learning to come! Thank you, Debra, Helping the Behaviorally Challenging Child and Elissa!
