☆MIDLINE CROSSING☆

Midline crossing refers to the ability of the body to move limbs or eyes across the body's centerline, the imaginary line that divides the body into a left and right side. It is the coordination of moving an arm, leg, or even the eyes, from one side of the body to the other side. It is essential for developing efficient movement patterns and motor skills, as well as for brain development.

☆Benefits of midline crossing:

**Improves Coordination**: Crossing the midline helps in developing and improving overall body coordination. This is important for both fine and gross motor skills.

**Enhances Brain Development**: Midline crossing stimulates the brain’s left and right hemispheres leading to improved cognitive function.

**Boosts Academic Skills**: As midline crossing involves both hemispheres of the brain, it is linked to improved skills in reading, writing, and math, as well as other academic tasks.

**Promotes Bilateral Integration**: Activities that involve crossing the midline help the body to use both sides of the body together, which is important for tasks such as writing, cutting, and tying shoes.

**Increases Motor Planning and Control**: By engaging in midline crossing, children improve their ability to plan and control movements.

**Builds Hand-Eye Coordination**: Crossing the midline is essential for tasks that require the coordination of hand and eye movements.

**Improves Focus and Attention**: As it requires concentration and coordination, midline crossing activities can help improve attention span and focus.
