Time For Tiptoes
[15 Minutes]
Walking on tiptoes is a skill that you and your child can practice together.
What to do:
- Invite your child to play a "tiptoe" game with you.
- As you move from one room to the next at home, or on a walk outdoors, encourage your child to walk on his tiptoes.
- It may be hard at first, but praise him for his efforts.
- On another day, practice jumping skills or walking backwards.
Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.
- I like the way you walk on your tiptoes. Let me try it too!
- Show me a different way you like to walk. Let's practice together.
Useful information:
While you are playing together, your child is developing large muscle skills, and balance.
