Professional Letter

Dear to Whom it may concern,

As they learn how to hop in place they can set goals for themselves to learn how to horizontal jump which will help them improve on their stability. Not only will this help improve their stability skills, but it will also help with directional awareness, because they will be able to learn which way is left and which way is right.

This could also help with the child’s temporal awareness, teaching them how to have self-expression.
