Dylan has come a long way with his core strength and balance. For those of you who aren't familiar with Brain Balance, core strength is important for pretty much everything. I think we often forget that in our world of technology and flash cards. But moving matters and core strength is a way big deal when it comes to the brain. So, we work on core strength A LOT! We do other exercises as well - eye exercises and exercises to inhibit primitive reflexes - but we also do pushups and sit-ups. It's amazing how quickly kids can change just from working on core exercises three times a day. Dylan loves doing headstands, but his balance wasn't great before we started this program. He has improved so much! He can now do a headstand for much longer than he's ever been able to in the past. He still needs some work, but he's getting there. Also, Dylan has been wanting to learn to do a backflip forever, but he always gets nervous. Well, after trying and trying, he finally got his courage up and did it. Now he's on fire! It's amazing how much more you can do as your core strength increases!
