What is Proprioception?

An easy description is proprioception is being able to know where your body is in space and where your limbs are in relation to your body. Muscle planning, grading muscle movement, being able to move your arms and legs without necessarily looking at them all falls under proprioception.

Pushing, pulling, jumping, big heavy work movements can all be considered proprioception. Proprioception input is located in the large muscle groups and the spine.

This activity is super easy to set up. Simply place a couple heavier size books into the bottom of the laundry basket. Then have your child pick out some of their favorite toys into the basket.

Then let her/him push! Or tie a rope to the front and have them pull it
