Children Barefoot Podcast naBOSo

How should your baby develop up to 3 months? We asked experts in psychomotor development and podology, Edita Prošková and Hana Tonarová.

In the next episode of our podcast, physiotherapist Edita Prošková interviews her colleague Hana Tonarová, and together they’ll guide you through the topic of psychomotor development – something most people only know a little about. They’ll advise you on what to focus on with your baby from birth to three months, and when it’s a good idea to consider a consultation with a specialist.

The whole journey your baby goes through as they develop and move, right up to the moment they’re able to walk independently – that, in short, is psychomotor development. But did you know why it’s so important? What can happen if a child skips one of the key milestones or shows a deviation? And can it affect them even into adulthood? Edita and Hana will answer these questions and more.
