# Green Zone for Jumping — What to Do Next

A green zone for jumping means your child's gross-motor skill is developing right on track. The next step is to keep building on this strength through active, playful jumping games, watch the wider movement picture, and confirm progress at the next routine check. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

*A green zone for jumping means your child's two-footed power is right on track — now the joy is in stretching it further through play.*

## In short
Wonderful news — a **green zone** result for jumping tells you your child's gross-motor skills in this area are developing right on track. There's nothing to fix here; the next step is simply to **keep building on this strength** through everyday active play, and to keep an eye on the wider picture of how your child moves, balances and coordinates. Green means *carry on confidently* — celebrate it and keep the play going.

## What a green zone means — and what to do next
A green zone is a **strength signal**: your child is meeting the expected milestones for jumping at their age. Here's how to make the most of it:

- **Keep it playful and frequent** — jumping over a low rope, hopping between cushions, leaping off a low step (with you nearby), or jumping to reach a balloon all strengthen leg power, balance and body awareness.
- **Add gentle challenge** — once two-footed jumping is easy, invite forward jumps, jumping for distance, or hopping on one foot, all through games rather than drills.
- **Watch the whole movement picture** — jumping is one piece of gross-motor development. Notice how your child runs, climbs, balances and catches too, so you see strengths and any areas that need a little more practice together.
- **Revisit at the next check** — development moves in spurts. A green zone today is best confirmed again at your child's next routine developmental check.

There's no therapy needed for a skill that's already thriving — your role now is encouragement, opportunity and plenty of active fun.

## When a check still helps
Even with a green zone for jumping, it's worth a developmental check if you notice your child tires very quickly, frequently trips or falls, avoids active play, seems much less coordinated than peers, or if any *other* area of movement, speech or play feels behind. A green result in one skill doesn't replace a look at the whole child.
