In life, whether we often hear that a child will not climb directly and walk, everyone will praise this child for being so good; there are babies who will not walk for one year or two months, and parents will lament that they are lagging behind; and even parents can't wait to help the baby walk with scarves or walkers when the baby just stands. Is it important to climb at all?
How important is crawling to a child's athletic ability? When the baby crawls in the early stage, the left foot and right hand and the right foot and the left hand are colloidal coordinated movements, which is the first time since birth that the left and right brains communicate and cooperate, which plays a vital role in the development of the brain. Children who do not climb directly for various reasons are far less coordinated in their bodies than children who can climb and walk first. You can observe the surroundings, some children have been able to go, but up and down the stairs, up and down the slope, the movement is very slow or easy to wrestle; on the contrary, some children crawl more fully, there are few problems, and the movement is very sensitive. My child in this aspect, let her crawl fully, shoes are worn out three pairs, her motor coordination ability is better than the average child, some walk earlier than my children, but coordination and sensitivity is very poor, far less than my children. We can think about why some students have better physical education and some students are worse after going to school.
Does not climb have an impact on children's later learning? Crawling in infancy is very important, the coordination of the body is a direct response to the brain's ability, if the left and right brains have not had many opportunities to communicate and cooperate in the process of growing up, then there will be learning disabilities later, it is easier to skip lines than reading books, habits of reading with fingers and slow speed, etc., which is related to the experience of not climbing when you were a child.
What should I do if I miss the crawl period? If the child is already gone, we can remedy it by doing more coordinated limb movements with the child, such as crawling games, swimming, and jumping rope.
In the next issue, we will talk about the stages of crawling and the importance of crawling fully. If there is any parenting confusion, welcome to pay attention to the message.
