I cannot believe people still do this! The Institute for Achievement of Human Potential and it's methods were proven so ineffective and unethical almost 50 years ago now.
Thank you for this video. We have gone to the Institutes and are patterning my 2.5 year old - but it is hard for people who have not seen it done to get it down right. I plan to show my nurse and helper tomorrow. :-) Thank you!
This helps the child because it patterns the brain and teaches it the movements of crawling that develop naturally when a baby is placed on it's belly. You are teaching the brain how it feels to be in a crawling motion, and eventually it will develop the skills on its own and the child (or adult as it is in my brothers case ^^) will eventually be able to crawl on their own. It DOES help, I watch it every day in my own home.
