At one point or another, almost every parent knows how stressful it can be to worry about their child's motor development.

Maybe you're wondering why your child is doing a janky crawl or why they aren't walking when you thought they would.  

Or maybe you're trying to figure out how to get your newborn to do tummy time when they hate it.

But what would it look like to take a holistic approach to helping your kids work on gross motor development? And what would it look like to let go of the stress or guilt of your child hitting milestones?

That's what this episode explores as Jordan talks to Dr. Emily Heisey and Dr. Matt Otteman, the owners of Kinactive Kids - a clinic that combines physical therapy and chiropractic care to help children reach developmental milestones.
