“Kick the can down the road” they say. But to us, it has a different meaning.
There is no time for putting off learning to walk. This week we worked hard on those muscles . As Morah kicked a can full of beads, we were encouraged to follow it by walking towards it (with assistance) as we approached it, morah kicked it again. Till we got tired and sat down.
One important step when learning to walk is to get used to standing up. For that reason we spent a portion of our time standing. Some sensory bags have been taped to the table to encourage standing. This should help them feel comfortable to take those first steps as they’ll already be used to standing.
We are also working on balancing. The time that they’re able to stand without holding on to furniture (or me) is increasing. We've been exploring lots of new sensory experiences as well, please check the facebook group for pictures!
Books: If I Were a Poodle
Songs:
This is the way we walk, walk, walk
Can you walk with me
Shabbat shalom,
Morah Anna
