Free movement and activity on the floor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>From the first months of life, it is worth encouraging your child to lie on their tummy, turn, crawl and crawl. Let your child freely explore the environment on a stable, hard surface &#8211; this strengthens the postural muscles and prepares for the next stages of motor development. <\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Fun with home accessories<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Obstacle courses made of pillows<\/b>, chairs and blankets are great fun that develop strength, coordination and spatial orientation. <b>Balance exercises <\/b>&#8211; such as standing on one leg or walking on a line &#8211; improve the sense of balance. <b>Ball games support <\/b>eye-hand coordination and reflexes.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3.
