Now All My Baby Wants To Do Is Sit!
“I created a happy sitter and now he hates tummy time. Help!”
ANSWER - First, you didn’t create anything, you’re doing a great job! If he’s not rolling just yet, I’d start with sidelying into belly/back play. It makes it a bit easier to complete the roll, which is great for reducing frustration & it targets so many big rolling muscles. WIN WIN!
My crawling class has an entire troubleshooting section with day by day set ups & activities to help work through the underlying reasons happy sitters become so dang happy in sitting, so if you need or want more support, I would DEFINITELY check it out!
Hope this helps!
