Today, almost two years after starting the program we do daily with Mara, I can assure you that it is a much better approach when it comes to development for children. And not just children with Down syndrome. This applies includes the neuro-typical children as well – Lennox also follows this program.
So many moms ask me about the exercises I do with Mara and I started sharing them on my YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago. We started doing these exercises at around 1-month-old (even though you can start as soon as your baby is born) and up until Mara’s neck was super strong (at approximately 4-months-old).
After seeing parallel bars used for young children to assist them in walking, PVC seemed like a good option. There were no resources we found with plans for making them for Mara. But we used a few pictures we found and relied on the advice of our friend and therapist Kailee @themovementmama to determine the height of the bars to make this for Mara.
