This exercise benefits your child by boosting core strength, enhancing balance, and increasing body awareness. The child begins in a plank position with their hands on the ground and feet on a peanut ball. They then draw their knees toward their chest before extending them back out, which engages their abdominal muscles and promotes stability. This movement helps strengthen postural muscles, improves coordination, and offers proprioceptive input, which can be helpful for sensory regulation.
