Tiffany's Tips: Playing while Squatting

Core strengthening does not only happen in therapy or at the gym. Playing while squatting is an excellent way to strengthen those muscles. Try having your child assemble puzzles, create a Lego masterpiece, or play with cars and small toys on a table. If your child cannot maintain this position, try kneeling.
