Por qué funciona
This activity provides vestibular stimulation while requiring your child to engage core muscles for stability. Movement through different planes of motion supports both physical development and spatial awareness. Research shows that varied physical experiences enhance cognitive functions and brain development (de Greeff et al., 2018). Creating positive, playful movement experiences establishes healthy associations with physical activity that can persist throughout life, contributing to better psychological wellbeing (Jaekel, 2024).
Consejos para padres
Only try this if you are comfortable and your back feels strong. Keep movements smooth and controlled.
Your child's head control should be developing before trying this, usually around three months. Always prioritize safety and comfort for both of you.
