Rolling is a fundamental movement skill which consists in turning right around. This ability tends to disappear with the progress of age, thus it is important that kids exercise it, also because it strengthens some postural and dynamic patterns and it develops overall coordination skills, especially the balance. Basically, rolling is to lose the balance and to find it again immediately after and it can be performed in all directions, using support points (hands, head, feet) or in the air.
