How They Move
Every kid learns at a different pace and a different way. Two children can be the same age and not walking yet. One is fine and the other has problems. The way a child moves tells you more than the date they get there.
Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is a song from the episode "Do milestone charts miss the things that matter most?", 12 October 2026.

Lyrics
[Intro - strummed acoustic guitar]
[Verse 1]
One cruises round the lounge all day
Not walking yet, but strong
One wobbles when they try to play
Same age, a different song
[Chorus]
It's not the when, it's how they move
The way they reach and crawl
You know your little mover's groove
The big steps and the small
[Verse 2]
One sits and watches all the fun
One climbs on every chair
So tempt the watcher out to run
And slow the one up there
[Chorus]
It's not the when, it's how they move
The way they reach and crawl
You know your little mover's groove
The big steps and the small
[Instrumental - guitar solo]
[Bridge]
You're with them through the day and night
Their good days and their bad
So when it doesn't feel quite right
Then say so, mum or dad
[Chorus]
It's not the when, it's how they move
The way they reach and crawl
You know your little mover's groove
The big steps and the small
[Outro]
Not when, but how they move
You know your mover's groove
