Head control is typically acquired around 4-6 months. This video will show some ways to work with an infant or young child for activating core and neck muscles

Although head control is acquired at a young age, many children reach school age and continue to show some signs of weakness in their neck and shoulder girdle muscles. This video will show exercises for bigger kids who want to continue to strengthen these muscle groups. Weak neck and shoulder girdle muscles can lead to difficulty with posture, handwriting, and prolonged attention. If your child is struggling with any of this, give these exercises a try!
