Why go barefoot?When it comes to Locomotor skills our children's feet are super important! Feet are our primary instruments of locomotion and connection to the ground! Children's feet undergo many changes as they grow, including the development of their arch.At The Little Gym we always prefer that children participate barefoot without socks - this helps to strengthen their foot muscles. When learning to walk children receive important sensory information from the soles of their feet - shoes and even socks can make walking more difficult. Going barefoot regularly is so important for your child to develop their balance, coordination and posture! #barefoot #feet #locomotorskills #sensorydevelopment #childdevelopment #gobarefoot | The Little Gym York
