Hello and happy New Year to all of our families! We hope 2026 is starting out to be a great year for you and your loved ones.
We often work with infants here at Lowcountry Childrens Therapy and parents always want to know what they can be doing at home to help their little one progress their motor skills. One of the main things we emphasize is….. Tummy Time, Tummy Time, Tummy Time! Babies learn by being able to explore their environment. The more time they spend on their tummy, the stronger their core muscles become. And babies need strong core muscles to learn how to push up onto hands and knees, sit, crawl, pull to stand, and walk. Here is a short article from Nationwide Children’s on the importance of Tummy Time, limiting use of equipment to contains children, and for making play time with your baby fun!
Within the first year of life, your baby will develop critical motor skills that help them make small movements, hold up their head, sit up-right, crawl and eventually walk. As a caregiver, there are many things you can do to encourage them reach these milestones.
