The evolution of kicking is actually really interesting. It may begin as an involuntary reflex when she\u2019s a baby, but it will turn into a major movement milestone by the time she\u2019s two years old. Kicking develops when motor and sensory skills join together to make this maneuver happen. If you\u2019re curious about how kicking develops, you\u2019ve come to the right place!<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b><i>Highlights:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kicking begins as a voluntary reflex and turns into a major movement milestone around age 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When babies kick, they\u2019re strengthening their leg muscles and preparing themselves for rolling over.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between 3-6 months, kicking goes from an involuntary action to intentional.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 15 months, they can practice kicking a ball with your assistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independent and consecutive kicks become more prominent around 19 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 24 months, you can kick a light ball back and forth together.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The BabySparks program provides kicking activities throughout the various stages of development, because kicking also strengthens walking, running, jumping, and other motor skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h2>Kicking Milestones<\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Babies<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In the first few months, you\u2019ll notice your baby involuntarily kicking her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/07\/26\/your-childs-feet-unsung-heroes-of-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">feet<\/a> around and moving her legs as if she already knows how to swim. Even though she can\u2019t sit up on her own yet, this movement is a healthy sign. When she\u2019s stretching and kicking, she\u2019s strengthening her leg muscles and preparing herself for rolling over. Between 3-6 months, instead of being an involuntary action, her kicking becomes intentional. She\u2019ll start kicking toys, balls, or other objects that are near her feet.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Toddlers<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As time goes by, her leg muscles will continue to grow. You\u2019ll recognize her newly found leg strength when you hold her under her arms and watch her use her legs to bounce up and down, preparing herself for standing and walking. When she\u2019s about 15 months old, you\u2019ll be able to place a ball in front of her and watch her practice those kicks! You may have to hold her arms while she does this, or if she\u2019s getting better at standing and walking, she may be able to use her legs and push the ball around with her feet on her own. Kicking at this age is important because it also helps improve her balance and coordination.<\/p>\r\n<p>By the time she\u2019s about 19 months old, you\u2019ll see her kick &#8230; and kick again, and again, and again! Consecutive kicks are a great accomplishment, and you\u2019ll observe her following the ball with her eyes as she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/02\/21\/motor-planning-learning-how-to-use-the-body\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prepares her body<\/a> for another kick. She might just consider herself a master at kicking by the time she\u2019s two years old, as she\u2019ll be able to take part in a soccer-like game with you or her peers. Instead of watching her simply follow the ball around alone, you\u2019ll be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/11\/07\/the-many-benefits-of-ball-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kick a light ball<\/a> or balloon back and forth.<\/p>\r\n<p>Kicking continues to evolve as your little one learns to kick farther and with more precision. By the time she\u2019s 34-36 months old, she\u2019ll be able to kick a soccer ball about 6 feet on grass by bending her \u00a0Practice kicking as much as you can (if you\u2019re using BabySparks, kicking activities will show up in your daily program at just the right times), because it also strengthens her walking, running, jumping, catching, and other motor skills.<\/p>\r\n<p>Keep in mind that your child might not show foot dominance yet. In fact, alternating kicking feet is actually a good thing because it strengthens both sides of her body.<\/p>\r\n<p>It\u2019s also important to remember that the ages for kicking milestones are based on averages. Discuss any concerns with your pediatrician, but unless she is falling several months behind, there usually isn\u2019t any reason to worry. What\u2019s most important is offering her lots of opportunities to practice her kicking skills!<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Your child will go on to do great things in life, but there\u2019s no doubt about it: Kicking will be one of her first amazing accomplishments!
