Specific movements that cross the center of the body help neurons in the brain

cross from one side to the other. This strengthens neural pathways in the brain
for learning.

Helping both sides of the brain communicate also helps decrease letter and
number reversals.

Additionally, crossing midline helps both hands work together for writing, cutting
and fine motor activities. And, it helps kids with hand dominance.

4. Stimulates the visual system for daily learning activities

The visual exercises included in this series help the eyes cross the midline of
the body. They work on visual tracking.

This is extremely important for reading and writing. The eyes are busy moving
around, tracking, and focusing.

Additionally, the balancing activities also support the visual system and the eye
muscles.

5. Improves core strength and stability for sitting upright &


attending
Many children are not developing the core strength they need before they start
school.

This significantly impacts their ability to simply sit upright.

If they are constantly shifting around to use different muscle groups, they lose
focus on work.

The exercises included increase core strength and stability.


6. Develops stability in the upper back and shoulders to help the
hands complete fine motor tasks during learning
A child needs a strong core as well as upper body stability. Decreased tummy
time in their earlier years causes weakness in the upper back, necks and
shoulders.

Exercises in this program target upper back, neck and shoulder muscles.

7. Increases awareness in the body and hands for more success
