Wellness in Every Season
“In this insightful and heartwarming episode, Autumn Carter sits down with Dr. Trevor Carlson, a pediatric physical therapist and author of Tummy Time to Walking, to explore the fascinating world of child motor development. Together, they unpack the small yet powerful milestones that help babies go from lifting their heads to taking their first steps, and how parents can gently support their child’s natural progression without added stress or comparison.
Dr. Trevor shares his journey from runner to pediatric PT, offering compassionate wisdom from years of helping children and families overcome developmental challenges. He discusses how tummy time shapes brain and body growth, why crawling is still an important step even though it’s no longer a listed milestone, and what signs indicate it might be time for professional support. The conversation expands into the deeper emotional side of parenting—letting go of perfection, embracing each child’s unique pace, and finding joy in the process rather than the timeline.
Parents will walk away with practical insights on fostering coordination, balance, and lifelong movement confidence, as well as a reminder that play and patience are some of the most powerful tools for growth.”
