Dance Moves That Can Reveal How Your Child Is Growing
Did you know your child’s movements can reveal powerful clues about their growth? The way they run, jump, or dance isn’t just fun. It is a simple way to test their Wastong Timbang-Tangkad and a helpful way to keep them Laban-Ready.
Bonakid Pre-School® 3+ May Laban Moves brings this to life with easy, dance-like moves that keep kids active while helping moms observe key growth milestones.
The moves take inspiration from the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) by Dr. Dale Ulrich, a trusted look at two key movement areas.
- Locomotor skills cover running, hopping, and jumping
- Object control skills include catching, throwing, and kicking
Together, these skills build balance, coordination, and strength. They are helpful signals of healthy growth and support the goal of Wastong Timbang-Tangkad.
When your child follows along, whether they move with ease or are still practicing, you are already seeing growth in motion. Celebrate the wins, cheer on the effort, and keep the Laban moves going!
With the proper nutrition from Bonakid Pre-School® 3+, you can help your Batang May Laban stay strong, active, and Laban-Ready sa paglaki.
Ready to try it at home? Watch the full May Laban Moves video on TikTok and dance along with your child. It is a fun bonding moment and a playful way to check on their development, one step at a time.
