Airplane lifts

Så här gör ni aktiviteten

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your child on your shins, facing you, and hold them securely under their arms. Gently lift your legs to raise them into the air, keeping them secure and at a comfortable height. Make eye contact and talk or sing to them. This builds their core strength while creating joyful connection.

Varför det fungerar

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).

Tips till föräldrar

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.
