@headoverheelssa: Hopping on one foot! It’s not easy! * Balance – teaches them to control their body while supported on just one leg. * Single-leg strength – strengthens the ankles, calves, knees, hips and glutes. * Core stability – the tummy and back muscles work to keep the body upright. * Coordination – the brain has to coordinate balance, leg movement and landing at the same time. * Motor planning – they learn how much force to use to push off and how to position their body to land. * Proprioception/body awareness – helps them understand where their body is in space. * Foot and ankle stability – important for running, jumping, climbing and gymnastics. * Confidence – mastering a one-foot hop is a lovely gross-motor milestone at this age for the older 3 year old to to 4 year old! #LearningThroughPlay #GrossMotorSkills #durban #mommylife #gymnastics @lifewiththelouws
