No therapy concern is flagged; the next steps are to enrich movement play, support harder skills like hopping and jumping for distance, and review at the routine developmental check. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.","answer_md":"*A Jumping score in the 900–1000 band is wonderful news — it tells you your child's gross-motor power is blooming, and now the goal is to keep building on a strong foundation.*\n\n## In short\nA Jumping AbilityScore in the **900–1000 band sits at the strong, thriving end** — your child is showing well-developed gross-motor strength, balance and coordination for the skill of jumping. The next steps are simple: keep enriching movement through everyday play, support the *next* harder skills (hopping on one foot, jumping over or off small heights, jumping for distance), and review at your child's regular developmental check. No therapy concern is flagged by this band; this is about nurturing momentum.\n\n## What a strong jumping band means\nJumping draws together several gross-motor abilities at once — leg strength, the ability to push off and land safely with both feet, core stability and balance, and the body awareness to coordinate it all. A high band suggests these are working together beautifully. Children build on this naturally when they have:\n\n- **Plenty of open, safe space** to run, leap and land — gardens, parks, soft mats indoors.\n- **Graded challenges** — jumping over a low rope, off a bottom step, into a hula hoop, or for distance, all stretch the skill gently.\n- **Rhythm and music play** — hopping, skipping and dance build timing and one-foot balance, which come after two-foot jumping.\n- **Mixed movement** — climbing, balancing on a line, kicking a ball — so the whole gross-motor system keeps growing, not just one skill.\n\nA strong single-skill score is one helpful signal, not the whole picture. Healthy development is broad, so it is always worth keeping a gentle eye on speech, play, social and fine-motor skills too — strength in one area sits best alongside steady growth across all.\n\n## When to simply review\nThere is nothing urgent to do here. Mention the score at your child's **routine developmental review** so it can be seen alongside the full picture. Seek a check sooner only if you notice a *new* loss of a skill your child once had, frequent unexplained falls, persistent toe-walking, or one side of the body being clearly weaker — these are general motor flags worth raising regardless of any score.\n\n## The Pinnacle way\nAbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app or a number alone.
