Your toddlers vestibular (balance) system started to develop before they were born and was stimulated by movements when they were in the womb. As they have developed their physical control and strength their balance system will have helped them to maintain their posture and to act against gravity to hold their head upright.[1] Your toddler is probably moving more confidently now as they have developed the balance and core strength to control their posture as they move. You might notice that they explore ways of making themselves dizzy by spinning or tipping themselves upside down.
