We can also think about how to incorporate movement inside our home, space permitting. In my classroom we have a climbing wall. The young children start to pull up on the lower holds; as they get to around 2 years old, they climb with some support from an adult, and it is not long before they are able to hold their own weight and climb independently. Every muscle of their bodies is hard at work. Children also like to hide, so think about creating spaces with blankets and chairs, hammocks, and tents.
