Learning Babies
Learning is what babies do. They are built to be little learning machines. Learn, Eat, Sleep, Learn, Eat, Sleep. One billion connections per minute. They come into the world with very few connections and must learn everything through their experiences.
There is a reason that babies are not born able to walk or run within hours or days of being born. Cats or dogs or horses are able to move around very shortly after birth because they are born with connections intact. They move beautifully, but very similarly. Every human is unique because every babys learning experiences are unique. We speak many languages, do intricate movements with our hands and fingers, and create amazing things. We learn and grow into who we are.
The movements and learning that a baby does is laying a foundation for a lifetime of action. The broader that foundation is, the more time spent, the more variety learned, the better the skill level will be as babies become toddlers, children, teenagers and adults.
Well Baby Check
Bringing your baby for a movement and learning check can change their future. ABM practitioners are trained to see small details that are not typical, or do not fit the fuller picture. If there are any discrepancies in learning this lesson may be all you need for future optimal learning and development. In this 30 minute Well Baby Check we can help you understand what your babys learning experience is.
From the time a baby first comes into the world they begin a long apprenticeship with gravity. Gravity is a constant force to contend with for movement and being upright. Babies learn to push against the ground to bring their head upright, to maintain their skeletal structure under their head, and to move through space to where they want to be.
We check that your baby is physically aware, has full access to age appropriate movement, and is comfortable and free to move in every possible way. Is the quality of your babys movement optimal, and the work of movement being distributed throughout his/her system? Your practitioner will answer these questions.
We check that you baby has his/her learning switch on full and is interested, curious and intentional in the world. We look to see if learning is happening easily and effortlessly.
We check to make sure that your baby has a broad foundation for each phase of development so they can continue to learn optimally.
Why would a healthy baby need this check? Occasionally there are small glitches in the birth process that might cause a baby to start out with one side stronger than the other, less use of one limb, or less ability to turn to both sides. Maybe there is tension in one side of the neck that affects rolling, or the baby raced through a phase and did not get the kind of foundation that leads to high level skills in later years. These, and other small differences or limitations might not be visible to an untrained person. An ABM practitioner, who has studied learning and movement for years, is trained to see in much greater detail. With this Well Baby Check, they can change the learning opportunity and change your childs future. The lesson that we give healthy babies can catch these limitations and help these babies have fuller learning capability.
If the practitioner observes anything that is not typical baby development we will recommend that you discuss this with your medical doctor. Even in these small percentage of babies who need some extra care, this work, which ensures babies are not limited in their learning, may be enough to resolve the issue, or may be the best remedy to provide optimal conditions for learning to continue. We will give you our best recommendation from a learning perspective and your doctor will give you their best medical advice.
