Who would have thought that rolling madly down a hill would develop your toddler’s ability to sit still and listen to their teacher at school. Seems counter intuitive, right? Or that peddling a tricycle could make learning a language easier for your child. Or swinging could help develop beautiful joined-up handwriting.
