Jumps with both feet off the ground
What it is
Both feet leave the floor at the same time.
Start preparing
- Jump off a low step (10 cm) holding hands, then from the floor over a line/tape.
- 'Frog jumps' and trampoline-style bouncing on a mattress.
When to check with a professional
Not jumping in place by 4 years is worth a mention at the next visit. Development varies widely; this is a prompt to ask, not a diagnosis.
