I came across this website that discusses the importance of shoulder girdle strength in children. I always emphasize the importance of shoulder girdle strength with parents and explain how it effects their child's fine motor capabilities. Without proximal stability, distal mobility is difficulty to achieve. This website provides fun exercises to do with kids both in therapy and at home. Some include bear and crab walks, and other activities to do with a partner that involved pushing. These are exercises I like to incorporate into my session, but the website provides visuals. Enjoy!
