Bilateral coordination in functional tasks makes up much of our day! Think of all of the other areas where you are using both hands or both sides of the body at the same time: getting dressed, tying shoes, cooking, typing, holding a book while reading, pouring a glass of water…the list could go on and on! I love cross body high fives. Children get really excited to celebrate their accomplishments, and you can cross the midline, use right left and both hands together to do a variety of types of high fives.
