Time For Tiptoes

[15 Minutes]

Walking on tiptoes is a skill that you and your child can practice together.

What to do:

1. Invite your child to play a "tiptoe" game with you.
2. As you move from one room to the next at home, or on a walk outdoors, encourage your child to walk on his tiptoes.
3. It may be hard at first, but praise him for his efforts.
4. On another day, practice jumping skills or walking backwards.

• I like the way you walk on your tiptoes. Let me try it too!
• Show me a different way you like to walk. Let's practice together.

Useful information:

While you are playing together, your child is developing large muscle skills, and balance.
