Got a kid dealing with growing pains? Here are 3 simple things that can really help:

- Good shoe quality with ankle support
- Daily stretches for hips & hamstrings
- Strengthening exercises to support growing muscles

Sometimes, a little chiropractic care can tie it all together! Let’s keep those little bodies moving strong and pain-free. 🙌

I love helping kids thrive early on! If that’s your jam too, follow along!!

Is crawling really that important? Short answer is yes! Why then do some kids skip it? Let’s dive in.

First, crawling as a skill is great no matter what age because it uses so many muscles in your body. It makes your brain work both sides and forces your core muscles to stabilize even though there is so much movement going on. Don’t believe me, just try crawling for 2 minutes!

Because it does use so much some kids skip it because actually standing and walking is easier!

So what can we do?? Here are 3 tips to help encourage crawling and activate that brain in an age appropriate way.

7 months and up you can start with side sitting and that side sitting is actually the precursor to crawling! Then move into these strengthening play positions and watch them take off!

Happy crawling!

This conversation's been on my heart for a while.

I sat down with the incredible —mom to a boy with special needs who is a part of our KinActive family-to talk about parenting, community, and what it really looks like to bridge the gap between families of typical and atypical kids.

We covered a lot:

➡️Feeling unseen in everyday parenting spaces
➡️Grief and joy coexisting
➡️Why asking questions-even imperfect ones-can make someone feel seen
➡️And how we can all do better at including, understanding, and showing up for families raising kids with special needs.

This isn't about having all the right words.
It's about having the right heart.

Our full interview is up on YouTube now. Parenting a child with special needs takes a different kind of strength-Leave a kind word for stated if this convo moved you.🤍

Noticing your baby always looking in one direction in photos? It could be torticollis, caused by tight neck muscles-often from their position in the womb or after birth. The good news? Gentle chiropractic care can help restore their natural range of motion and get them back to being straight-up adorable!

Stay tuned for simple at-home stretches to help improve torticollis later this week!👀

At KinActive our model for therapy intensives include:
-PT & Chiro in every session
-1:1 sessions in private treatment rooms
-Lifetime access to the exclusive KinActive Kamp Family page
-One year access to KinActive masterclasses

Try these tips at home for aiding in the development of your growing baby.

1. Have them play with an elevated toy or bring a stationary toy close enough for them to interact. This will help with their gross motor skill development
2. Try moving an object from close and far away to help them as they are gaining better vision and depth perception.
3. When you are reading to them be sure to have your mouth in their line of sight as they are learning how to communicate better.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you found this post helpful!
