"Swing Set #1" Painting

The sensory system helps children regulate their bodies when they are faced with new stimuli. Because the swing is constantly moving, it is always changing the sensory stimulation, which leads to more development. A more developed sensory system is better able to cope when the environment is loud, has a new smell, or feels different. Swinging develops the sensory system, which then helps children learn to adapt to different sensory sensations. The repetitive back and forth motion of swinging also helps children strengthen their sense of balance, which is rooted in their ears. The vestibular sense tells children where their body is in space and how they are moving. Vestibular receptors in the inner ear are connected to the fluid in the ear canal that changes as you move. Inner ear fluid signals to the brain if the body is moving and where you are in space. Swinging helps develop the vestibular receptors and the inner ear fluid, which strengthens the connection between the ear and the brain for a better sense of balance. When children have a strongly developed ability to sense how their body is moving and balanced, it leads to better hand-eye coordination and stronger muscles. Inner ear balance and a strong vestibular sense leads to stronger body awareness, which is a vital skill for children. Body awareness helps them realize how their body is moving and where it is in space and in relation to other people and items. It’s common for occupational therapists and other professionals to recommend children with sensory processing disorders spend more time swinging to develop their balance, which is why indoor and outdoor swings are commonly used in therapeutic settings.
