Rocking: Week 9 FOL

Rocking has many benefits for the infant and young child. It soothes, provides rhythmic motion, promotes muscular strength, control, balance and helps develop lateralization. Lateralization is a fancy term meaning the coordination between the right and left sides of the body. Rocking also helps a child learn to feel and keep a steady beat. Children need to be able to keep a steady beat to run well, play a musical instrument, and even to cut efficiently with scissors, so rock away! (The Infant and Toddler Handbook, Kathryn Castle, Ed.D. )
