Deep in the Australian bush, a young kangaroo named Jumpo was full of energy and curiosity. But one thing bothered him—he couldn’t jump yet! The other kangaroos soared effortlessly through the grass, while Jumpo just watched. Determined to learn, he hopped over to his wise friend, Wally the Wallaby. “To jump, you need to build some skills,” Wally said. Balance: “Start by walking forward, backward, and on uneven ground like sand to steady your feet.” Foot Position: “Keep your feet shoulder-width apart. This gives you a strong base and helps your arches.” Coordination: “Jumping is about timing—bend your knees and straighten them at the right moment.” Strength: “Your calf muscles give you the push you need to leave the ground.” Wally started Jumpo with simple exercises. Step 1: Bouncing Wally held Jumpo’s hips and bounced him on a soft cushion. Soon, Jumpo felt the rhythm and tried bouncing on his own. “Next, try bouncing on a trampoline or your bed,” Wally suggested. Step 2: Standing on Tiptoes “To learn the push-off, practice standing tall,” Wally said. Jumpo reached for toys while on tiptoes, then practiced walking on them. Step 3: Bouncing on Tiptoes “Now try bouncing up and pushing onto your tiptoes,” Wally instructed. Jumpo held onto a sturdy branch at first and then tried it alone. After weeks of practice, Jumpo felt ready for his first jump. He bent his knees, pushed off with his toes, and… he was airborne! “See, Jumpo? Jumping is about practice and balance,” Wally cheered. From that day, Jumpo practiced daily, soon bounding through the bush like the other kangaroos.
