Kids don't just jump because they have approximately 47 times more energy than the rest of us.
There's actually a LOT happening in one little jump.
The nervous system has to:
Plan it.
Push off.
Coordinate the body.
Move through space.
Land.
Adjust.
Try again.
That's balance, strength, timing, coordination, body awareness and sensory information all working together.
From a chiropractic perspective, we love seeing kids move in lots of different ways because movement gives the nervous system information.
How much force do I need?
Where is my body in space?
How do I land?
What do I need to do differently next time?
And then...
They do it again.
And again.
And again.
It's not just "burning off energy."
They're building a library of movement experiences for their growing nervous system.
So when it's safe, let them jump.
Off the step.
Over the puddle
On the trampoline.
Into your arms.
Movement is information.
And little bodies are learning every time. 💚

Three months is such a fun stage. 🌿
They're becoming more interactive, more alert and you can really start to see that little personality coming through.
And their body is learning SO much too.
At this stage, giving baby plenty of opportunities for floor time, tummy time and free movement is so valuable.
From a chiropractic perspective, we're interested in how baby is moving through these positions, how comfortable they seem and whether they're using both sides of their body.
Things like reaching, turning their head, pushing up and moving their arms and legs all give the nervous system information about movement, balance, coordination and body awareness.
And the best part?
You don't need fancy equipment.
A safe space on the floor, your face, your voice and plenty of opportunities to move and explore can be enough. 🤍
If tummy time is feeling like a daily battle, or you're noticing baby consistently prefers one side, we'd love to help you understand what's going on and support comfortable movement as they grow.
Little bodies are learning all the time.
We just want to give them the space to do it. 💚

If your child wants to climb EVERYTHING...
We see you.
But there’s actually a lot happening when little humans climb.
Their nervous system is constantly working out:
Where am I?
Where am I going?
How do I get there?
How much force do I need?
What happens if I move this way?
From a chiropractic perspective, this is where we see so much development happening in real time.
Climbing challenges and integrates the spine, joints and nervous system, helping the body organise movement, balance and coordination as one connected system.
It builds:
balance
strength
coordination
spatial awareness
motor planning
And all of that is happening while their brain and body are learning to communicate more efficiently through movement.
They get to do all of this without even realising they're "developing a skill."
They're just playing.
Which is kind of the magic of it.
So, within safe boundaries...
Let them climb.
Their bodies are learning more than we think — and their nervous system is doing exactly what it’s designed to do.
