New mom’s club: An introduction to physical literacy
Now that you’re a new mom it’s time to start thinking about your child’s physical literacy.
Considering the fact your child can’t even roll over on her own yet, it might seem a bit soon for physical literacy. But the simple motor coordination skills that she learns now – particularly during tummy time – will help her throughout her life.

Being physically literate is a lifelong journey. And it begins at birth.
