Hammocking: A Fun Activity to Encourage the Parent-Child Bond
I don’t know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but we have been blessed with beautiful spring weather this week. That means it’s time to get up and move outside! Just this week, we celebrated “No Child Left Inside” Day, so here is a great activity for two adults and baby to do outside! Outstretch a sturdy blanket on the grass or the floor (if your weather isn’t that great and you need to make this a rainy day activity for your toddler instead). Lay your child in the center of the blanket. Hold onto one end of the blanket, and with another adult holding on to the other end of the blanket, slowly lift it off the floor and gently rock it back and forth to a favorite kid’s song such as All the Pretty Little Horses. Rocking your child back and forth stimulates the vestibular system—the part of the body that controls the sense of balance, developing your child while having fun!
