Body awareness is crucial for children to maintain balance and understand boundaries. Impaired body awareness can lead to awkward movements, avoid physical activity, difficulty mimicking movement, darkness, preference for small spaces, strong hugging, and close talker behavior.
Spatial awareness refers to a child's distance from objects in their environment. It can cause difficulties with directions, copying words, and socializing. Symptoms include bumps, spacing, letter directionality, and socialization issues. Utilize spatial awareness activities in a child's routine to improve processing and attention skills.
