Crossing the body's midline is the ability to reach across to the opposite side of the body with arms, legs, and eyes. This skill is necessary to perform many everyday tasks, such as writing and putting on clothing. Crossing midline creates new pathways in the brain that are the building blocks for developing complex motor and cognitive skills such as writing, reading, self-care and physical activities. Participating in activities involving crossing the midline helps children learn how to use both sides of their bodies so they can grow, learn, think, and move their bodies effectively.
