Compared with other parts of the body, the development and growth of children's feet is always easy to ignore.
The feet are the foundation of the human body and bear the weight of the whole body. But it's not like hands and faces are exposed. You can tell what's wrong.
After learning to walk, the feet are covered by shoes, and some unscientific, inappropriate, and incorrect practices will be mistaken for children to toddlers, and it is normal to walk badly, which is very easy to cause harm to the child's feet.
And some injuries are irreversible, and parents should pay special attention.
Once the foot is injured, it will cause more serious consequences, and even affect other parts of the body.
Not only does it affect the aesthetics of the walking posture, but it may also cause damage to the function of other parts of the body.
The following behaviors will make the child's foot hurt, parents should be careful.
Learn to walk too early
Some parents, or grandparents, have only been helping their children to learn to walk for a few months. For children, this is tantamount to pulling up seedlings.
The child's development is gradual, the baby will climb, will stand alone, the waist and lower limbs gradually increase strength, in order to slowly learn to walk.
Premature learning to walk, the center of gravity is on the feet, will repeatedly stimulate the soles of the feet, long-term, will cause lower limb muscle tension increased, resulting in posture, movement abnormalities, but also affect long-term development.
Therefore, children should not learn to walk too early, they must be gradual, and they will stand alone and then take it slowly.
W sitting posture
Some children like to use the W sitting posture, that is, kneeling on both legs, tiptoeing backwards, like a letter W, such a posture children feel comfortable.
This kind of sitting posture, generally with age, will slowly change, the average person is not a big problem, no special intervention.
But if the child always likes this posture, parents do not correct, long-term down, it will lead to toes leaning inward, that is, two small foot plates tilted inward, easy to form the outer figure eight, but also easy to lead to flat feet, can not go far, or cause fascia tension, resulting in instability after learning to walk, easy to fall.
Once the flat foot is formed, not only will walking will be affected, can not go far, but also affect the choice of occupation in the future, because some occupations flat feet are forbidden.
Shoes don't fit
Shoes that are too large and too small will cause certain damage to the child's feet. Small will squeeze the foot, the big does not follow the foot, the child will take abnormal actions in order to meet the shoes, causing some unnecessary consequences, not only hurting the foot, but also causing damage to the development of other parts of the body.
Children's feet grow fast, as the feet grow, change the shoes that fit in time, and don't think it's okay to be smaller. In turn, shoes should not be bought too large, and children who do not follow the shoes will be very tired when they walk.
Some family treasures will pick up the big treasure to wear, but pay attention to, in addition to checking whether the size of the shoes is appropriate, but also check whether the sole is too worn, if the wear is too large, you must decisively give up.
For toddlers, the importance of a pair of fitting shoes cannot be overemphasized.
Pay attention to the following points when choosing shoes for your child:
The sole should not be too hard, nor too soft, but also non-slip, elasticity should be good, the forefoot is easier to bend, and there should be good support for the child's arch.
The toe part and heel of the shoe should also have a certain hardness to protect the child's little feet when the child accidentally kicks something.
The main role of shoes is to protect children's feet from injury, functionality is the most important, do not choose inappropriate shoes for the sake of good looks.
Some parents sacrifice comfort for their children in order to be beautiful, or shoes that are not environmentally friendly materials, which are harmful to children's feet and are not beneficial.
The child is growing up, the amount of exercise per day should be appropriate, do not walk too much, otherwise, even if the shoes are suitable, if the feet are tired, it will hurt the delicate little feet.
In order for the child to have a pair of healthy feet when he grows up, parents must pay attention not to intentionally or unintentionally hurt the child's feet.
