Motor and postural development: introduction
Are you a pregnant woman or have you just become a mother?
This article is made especially for you!
Not only will I show you the paramount importance of a correct motor and postural development of your child in the first year of life, but I will also make you aware of how you yourself can (and should) favour it since birth.
In addition, you can buy the course From ZERO to HERO at an exclusive price.
From ZERO to HERO shows you how to ensure the best motor and postural development of your child from day zero of birth until it becomes a little walking hero independently.
1. The fundamental importance of correct motor and postural development 🚶🏻🧠
Under the term motor development indicates the maturation path of the newborn child from a physical and movement point of view, dduring which the child steadily improves muscle tone and coordination. These will enable him to reach all major motor stages of the first year of life until the much coveted autonomous walk.
Motor development being (physical capabilities) closely correlated with the postural development (curves of the spine), the importance of the child's growth in the first year of life is twofold.
Proper motor development will not only lay the foundation for excellent physical skills, but will also foster the development of optimal posture!
On the contrary, frequent postural errors that parents may unknowingly enact towards the infant or reduced motor stimulation may adversely affect on motor skills and posture (which is why some children do not crawl or walk late).
For this reason, it is essential to start with the right activities from the very first weeks of life in order to continue in the best possible way!
2. Learning to walk, a journey that starts in the first months of life! 👶🏻
Learning to walk represents one of the greatest achievements in human development.
It is therefore no coincidence that upright locomotion is considered an exalted point of arrival in the progress of the infant's motor development, an indispensable milestone in its development.
However, '' Learning to walk'. might sound like a cliché but, if we notice, the very phrase ''learning to walk'' implies that the experience (remember this word well) plays a key role in the occurrence and development of this ability.
But where, then, does the exciting journey of motor development that will lead the infant to constantly improve in order to reach such a coveted goal start?
The answer is ''from the first month of the child's life''.
Yes, you got that right.
Will all stimulation and motor activities you propose every day to your child during the first year of life. These will positively shape their capabilities so that its development can progress as well as possible, month by month.
In the following paragraphs, I explain why some children skip important motor milestones and how you yourself can avoid it.
3. Experience that makes a Difference in motor development 
Have you ever wondered why some children skipping important milestones (rolling, crawling, crawling) and why so many children they walk late and with evident fatigue?
If no one has ever told you, the answer to this fateful question lies in a single word: EXPERIENCE.
Yes, you got that right.
It is not geneticit is not because a child is lazier of the other or less capable.
It is simply experience!
Experience, understood as the totality of all the correct motor stimulation and activities that a parent offers to their child will shape their positively the capabilities so that the child will soon learn to crawl and then walking.
On the contrary, the lack of motor activities e frequent postural errors unknowingly put into practice by parents, will shape negatively the capabilities of the child. In fact, they will take him to skipping important development milestones like crawling, then walking late and with obvious fatigue.
4. Information that makes a difference (positively) 🚀🧠
As we have understood from reading the previous paragraphs, every parent plays a fundamental active role in the motor and postural development of their child.
In fact, it is mainly dictated by the stimuli and activities that each parent offers their child on a daily basis from the first weeks of life (very little by genetics).
So what does this imply?
It implies that if the parent is correctly informed, the child easily reaches all motor milestones and develops to the fullest!
5. From Zero to Hero, a Fantastic Path of Motor and Postural Development
It is precisely from the scientific analysis we have done so far that we can state with certainty that every child would develop perfectly if his or her parents were correctly informed about the activities to be offered to him or her.
As a paediatric osteopath, one of my greatest missions is precisely to ensure the improved motor and postural development of the newborn child.
For this reason, over the years I have devised a accompaniment route to growth which I called 'From ZERO to HERO'.
This path, which I offer daily to the parents of my young patients, includes a series of 5 osteopathic visits to the infant during the first year of life. The aim is to show practically parents how to ensure the achievement of all stages of motor development and, at the same time, promote the best postural development of their child.
After 2 years of work, I was able to summarise the entire journey of From ZERO to HERO in a video course!
Thanks to the information contained in the video course From ZERO to HERO, each child can develop to its full potential.
Here are dozens of children (and parents) who have already done so!
6. Parents' testimonies from From ZERO to HERO ❤️
Here are some of the hundreds of reviews of the parents of the children I have followed from birth, motor stage after motor stage, offering them all the information I have summarised in the video course From ZERO to HERO.
7. The From ZERO to HERO mini-course
Thanks to the information contained in the comprehensive video course From ZERO to HERO, each child can develop to its full potential.
In order for you to understand the effectiveness of this information course (containing hundreds of explanatory videos, motor stage after motor stage), I have also decided to prepare the Mini–Course by From ZERO to HERO, a tasty taste of the complete course.
What you will find in the From ZERO to HERO!🧠 Mini Course
The From Zero to Hero mini-course consists of about 40 minutes of video (divided into 4 episodes) in which I will show you:
- the fundamental importance of starting with the right activities to continue at its best;
- how to promote the early motor development via the tummy time (and some positions with which to propose it in the first weeks of life);
- The huge benefits (physical, cognitive, etc.). crawling classic
- Incorrect postural attitudes practised by parents (which hinder the child's development);
- The real (in)usefulness of some devices for baby's first steps (and how to save 60 to 150 euros).
- A further Special Gift for you at the end of the course!
The Full course by From Zero to HERO consists of 47 chapters e more than 4 hours in total of practical videos in which I concretely show parents all the activities to promote, month by month, the correct motor and postural development of the newborn.
