Active Toddler aims to focus the practitioner to observe, tune in, feel movement, and respond in stage appropriate ways enabling them to facilitate opportunities throughout the day.
Practitioners are provided with a follow-on tool kit that will encourage toddlers to be curious, feel and use movement vocabulary, develop their gravity sensors by providing practitioners with a better understanding of the connection of the proprioception & vestibular in relation to muscle and motion sensors, how balance and body awareness are all intrinsically linked with the other sensory systems and emotional regulation.
Practitioners will cover bone growth, ideal posture, visual development, the development of and the integration of the sensory system alongside a fully functioning nervous system and the importance of the inhibition of the primary reflexes.
