Movement, Coordination, and Your 1- to 2-Year-Old

Most toddlers this age are walking and gaining even more control over their hands and fingers. Give your child lots of fun (and safe) things to do to encourage this development.

Movement, Coordination, and Your 1- to 3-Month-Old

The reflexes they had just after birth start to disappear as babies this age gain more control over movements and interact more with their environment.

Movement, Coordination, and Your 4- to 7-Month-Old

At this age, kids are learning to roll over, reach out to get what they want, and sit up. Provide a safe place to practice moving and lots of interesting objects to reach for.
