9-12 Months Baby Development Video Series – Intro
At this stage, in the 9 to 12 month period, your baby can crawl on his belly and on his hands and knees. As he rises and crawls on his hands and knees, your baby begins to move towards independent sitting. Here, for the first time, your baby must use a narrower surface for balance, and he must learn to balance himself through his upper body.
At this stage of sitting, your baby’s balance system and his ability to balance towards his body’s center becomes crucial. It allows him to detach his hands from the floor, and implement his fine motor skills more explicitly with clapping, eating independently, drawing, and more. In addition, you can see your baby’s first attempts to stand up on both feet while leaning on an object.
In this video series we will focus on topics such as: independent transition to sitting, continuing to develop the balance system, confidence in independent transition to standing, confidence in standing, and more.

Provide your baby Confidence in Sitting & Transitioning to Crawling
Between 9 to 12 months, your baby will feel safer in the different sitting postures, in transitions from sitting to crawling and from crawling to sitting. Your baby’s confidence will allow them to sit in various postures in different places, later leading them to sit on their knees, to stable standing and to taking their first steps of walking. In this this video your baby will sit on a surface that will require them to activate their balancing system, and stabilize and straighten their body to the center. Your baby will learn how they can move their body independently, to attain balance. They will establish a connection between eye contact with an object, and make the necessary body movements to reach the object without losing their balance…

The Starting Guide and the Base For Independent Standing
Around 9 to 12 months, your baby begins to understand that their feet and legs possess the ability for movement and moving upwards. Your baby must continue to use their legs and their abilities in a variety of activities that will eventually lead them to stand independently, move around while standing, and walking. In this video your baby will learn that if they push their feet against a surface, they will be able to transition to standing. In this tutorial you will play with your baby and teach them how to bend and straighten their legs while pushing their feet against the wall, and eventually the floor to achieve standing…

Standing Securely & Independent Walking Near Objects in space
Your baby is learning to be independent, and to move their body to several different positions, most importantly, to standing. The motions that make up these transitions are skills that will lead them to be able to properly walk, and balance while standing and walking in the future. This also helps when your baby bumps into something. And at later stages, climb, jump, and be able to engage in activities that require movement. In this video you will guide your baby and boost their ability to move from standing to sitting in several different ways for several different purposes. For example: they can transition through bending to the side and forward to independently pick up a toy they dropped, or to return to sitting or crawling on the floor…

The Importance of Weight Shifting and how to guide your baby
Around 9 to 12 months, your baby becomes aware of their abilities to transition from standing to sitting, and to move their body from side to side. They will now continue to develop their balancing system while standing, which will be highly beneficial to your baby’s walking, standing on one foot, jumping and climbing as they develop. The confidence that your baby acquires at this stage is very significant for the rest of their developmental stages, as this is the first time they stand on both feet, when the surface on which they balance themselves is relatively smaller to the surface they were used to while laying down or sitting. In this video we would like your baby to build confidence in shifting weight from foot to foot, to build up to their next independent movement: their first steps…

Balancing The Body and Changing Sitting Positions Safely
Now your baby is beginning to trust their ability to move independently and shift from position to position. Over time they gain self confidence in their motor abilities and later will be ready to transition to standing up, and then back to sitting or walking independently and carefree. It’s important for your baby to know how to transition from position to position, and to always be prepared to lose their balance. In this video you will set your baby off balance with the use of your head while seated. First, let’s try to motivate your baby to block their fall with their hands and then transfer to the hands-and-knees position. From there, they will lay on the floor and then go back to sitting via their side or by standing on all fours…

From Sitting to Standing how to Help your baby master Movement
Your baby is now learning how to balance themselves on narrow surfaces, which will lead them to: stand up on both feet, shift weight from one leg to the other, take their first steps forward, walk, and later on, run. This is an in-between stage after sitting and before standing, where your baby understands they have the ability to transition between sitting and standing and vice-versa independently. In this video you will play a game with your baby near a small stool, which will help teach your baby how to kneel. Kneeling is the posture next in line after sitting and before standing. Your baby will feel and learn how to stand and lean on their knees, and will understand there is another way to play and move around…

How to Give your baby Confidence in Their First Steps and for life
Around 9 to 12 months your baby begins to climb on you, and stand up at every given moment. However, they may not quite know how to return to sitting. This is why you need to teach your baby to complete this transition on their own. You will start with an activity where your baby is passive, which will later lead them to actively transition to sitting, without fear or falling. This may prevent your baby from trying to stand and sit independently with the help of people or objects. Each movement in this experience is shared with you, which helps build your baby’s confidence. In this video your baby will learn to transfer from standing to sitting independently through organized movement and by enlisting their balance system…

Transitioning from Standing to Sitting Safe and Secure
Around 9 to 12 months, your baby discovers their ability to detach from the floor and transfer to standing while leaning on an object or on you. Often, your baby might get “stuck” standing due to their lack of confidence to return to the floor and back to crawling. Crawling is essential to your baby’s posture. It also activates their balance system in an organized fashion, for independent standing and walking in future developmental milestones. In this video you will teach your baby to build confidence in their movement by crawling through a narrow passage, and in their ability to transfer from sitting to standing and vice versa. We will practice this so your baby completes the action on their own, with you present only to give them encouragement and support…
Parenting is full of hard challenging moments, but with my online lessons you’re never alone
Parenting a baby is the most rewarding job in the world. It’s wonderful, but it’s no walk in the park. As parents we face many tests every single day and there are many challenges that we never expected or knew about before having our baby!
Sleep deprivation might be the most challenging part in early parenting. You love (and need) your beauty sleep, but with countless times of feeding, changing, crying and just basic disquiet, when can you get some good old fashion sleep?!
What about breastfeeding? It looks so easy in the movies, right? Moms just need to move their babies close to their breasts, and nature does its course… or at least that’s what we thought...
And the endless worrying… All of a sudden, the world becomes a much more dangerous place. There are germs, weather changes, other people, the risk of falling, if you can name it, you worry about it!
You just don’t understand why babies don’t come with a baby manual? A simple one that has “If your newborn does this, then do exactly that.”
So, parents buckle up!
Today you’re going to learn something that will transform your parenting path forever. Today you will get the guidance and the support you as a new parent need to tackle every challenge and every hurdle of parenting, after all, the better you know what you’re up against, the more prepared you will be!
... her warmth, support, and encouragement made the sessions therapeutic for me as well.

“Anat is absolutely wonderful. After watching the videos, I decided to purchase a private session package to get specialized suggestions for my toddler who has gross motor delays and has been in physical therapy his whole life. Not only was Anat incredibly knowledgeable and creative with her suggestions, her warmth, support, and encouragement made the sessions therapeutic for me as well.
As a parent who is very used to the physical therapy model (and is used to my son crying through most therapy sessions) it was refreshing to have Zoom sessions with Anat where my son was actually enjoying himself, laughing and having fun. I love her approach to development in which learning takes place during fun activities. I feel so grateful for Anat and highly recommend her. “

I have reviewed some of the videos and tried them with my son, and he loves them!
I have never seen him so proud of himself!

My baby was diagnosed with mild torticollis 2 months ago. I went online to find some info and got to your site, and it was a god sent!!
He is now almost cured and gained almost 100% of his neck and head motor abilities and it is mainly because of your videos...
...When I was at my pediatrician appointment last week he was shocked of the transformation and asked to see your website.

BabyPillars is a fantastic place to learn about baby development. As a kindergarten teacher and a mommy of 3 I can honestly say that the tutorials gave me a lot of insight and information regarding the development of my little one.

I believe that your exercises are perfectly composed. I like that you approach the child's development as a whole and that - unlike other websites on similar topics - you give specific, practical tips on supporting the child's development. The format of your video tutorials is very accessible.

The one on one sessions with Anat have been incredible; her advice is so much more impactful and qualified than any of the baby activity apps or websites out there. She’s able to observe my baby’s movements and make recommendations to help him with anything he’s frustrated about.
Typically after practicing these recommendations for a day, I’ll see a change in his behavior the next day.
The video courses have also been really useful for filling his playtime with fun and developmental appropriate activities.

I had bought this course within minutes of seeing the first video … Parents, buy this course. It's like those great books which we keep going back to years later to seek counsel. You will be glad you did it.
Maria Martins

I found some of your video tutorials on YouTube when my son was 5 months old. He was lying on his stomach and was very frustrated because he couldn't move forward. After just a few days of doing your exercises he began to move around his own axis and shortly thereafter began to crawl on his stomach.
As for the session with Anat, she was well prepared for it - she knew my son's problems and conditions. Anat gave me very specific advice on how to deal with my son's sleeping problems. She answered all my questions and concerns. Anat had a personal approach - she tried to find out what was causing the sleeping problems specifically in our case and helped me take a new and different approach.

My son too had severe torticollis and developed a flat spot. We had to do a helmet for about 6 weeks but there was no significant change. Physical therapy helped but not nearly enough & they were worried about it affecting his eye sight in the future. Then we started this course and had some private sessions with Anat - it was amazing and a complete different approach to what we were used to. Fast forward a few months & he even runs around looking straight up at the ceiling, something I never thought we’d see.
