📍Do your kids have a hard time with cross crawls? Many of mine do and I had to come up with a way for them to motor plan this movement. 📍Cross crawls are a Brain Gym activity that stimulates both sides of the brain to work together. This is a great exercise to begin each session with. 👉🏻Let me know if you try it! #OccupationalTherapy #PEDSOT #BrainJim #BrainGames #Teachers #Homeschool #BrainFunction | The Magic OT Bug

Cross crawling might look simple, but it’s one of the most powerful movements in neuro rehab. It helps the brain cross midline, building communication between the left and right sides through the cerebellum. The cerebellum is responsible for coordination, balance, timing, and even emotional regulation. For sensory-sensitive or non-verbal kids, we start passively. As they gain strength, we add balance, timing, and coordination challenges to build real-life skills. It’s not about harder exercises.
