Did you catch our friend’s face at the end? Because yeah buddy, we feel ya when we hear these things 🤣🫠
Let’s break it down!
1) “wait and see” is literally our worst nightmare because what’s the worst that can happen if you start intervention now? There are going to be some anecdotal evidence of athletes that walked late or public speakers that didn’t talk til 5 or picky eaters who eat everything now but that is not the case for everyone and what happens if they don’t? It’s a lot harder to change habits/neuro pathways/motor patterns as a child ages!
2) crawling is absolutely a milestone! If your child didn’t crawl, had a funny pattern or didn’t crawl enough they may struggle with crossing body midline, coordination, handwriting, posture, visual skills and the list can go on…
3) if you as the parent had the opportunity to work through some of these challenges as a child with the right support, wouldn’t you take the chance?
4) on the other side of it, parents also know their children the best! We listen to your concerns, make professional recommendations tailored to your family’s needs, and we want to be apart of YOUR team. This is why collaboration is so important at our clinic!
5) if patterns are lasting months (and possibly years 🙈) that’s no longer a “phase”, it’s a problem. Let’s talk!
