Dance and sway together

Cómo hacer esta actividad

Hold your child securely against your chest and gently sway, dance, or move around the room to music or your own singing. Move in different directions - side to side, in circles, or gentle bounces. This activity provides vestibular stimulation and creates positive associations between movement and joy.

Por qué funciona

Movement through space supports both physical and cognitive development in infants. The vestibular system, which controls balance and spatial orientation, develops through varied movement experiences. Research demonstrates that physical activity supports brain function and cognitive development (de Greeff et al., 2018). Creating positive, joyful movement experiences in infancy establishes patterns for sustained physical activity, which correlates with better psychological wellbeing throughout childhood and into adulthood (Jaekel, 2024).

Consejos para padres

Support your child's head and neck, especially in the early months. Start with gentle movements and watch how they respond. You can do this any time - while waiting for bath water to run, during fussy periods, or just for fun. Your movement counts as physical activity too.
