Baby Gymnastics

Parent guides baby through gentle back-strengthening exercises including head lifts and leg stretches. The agent coaches the parent to support baby in prone position for back work, then stretch thighs — observing head control, upper body propping, and arm extension as key gross motor milestones on the road to rolling, sitting, and crawling.

Free to do together whenever you like.
