50+ Core Strengthening Activities for Kids
Maybe you’re having trouble thinking up new and exciting core strengthening ideas for the kids in your therapy practice, or your child’s therapist has recommended working on core strength at home. Or maybe you notice the kids in your classroom slumping in their seats, fidgeting, or having difficulty paying attention.
The core is the center of control for everything else the body does. When kids have strong core muscles, it paves the way for the progression of other developmental skills.
The core strengthening exercises and activities in this book were created by pediatric occupational and physical therapists and offer playful and creative ways to help your child establish a strong core foundation.
