Jump, Run, Climb!

Parent coaches the full 30-36mo gross motor sequence: walking on uneven surfaces, walking backwards, balancing on one foot, kneeling-to-standing, jumping with two feet, hopping on one foot, jumping over an object, climbing, stair alternation, running-and-kicking, catching, throwing, and broad jump. Covers seventeen gross motor milestones at 28-40mo.
