For helping children learn to walk, the elderly in the family are always eager. Think that the baby learns to walk earlier, the baby is smarter. Therefore, there are old people with babies in the family, always can't wait to exercise the child to learn to walk early, let the child learn to walk earlier, my baby has also encountered such a thing.
When my second treasure is almost 9 months old, I take it back to my hometown to play. The mother-in-law found that the child had not yet learned to walk after 9 months. Just complain about me, saying that I will not take children, look at the children of the neighbors, and start walking at more than 8 months old.
I don't think it's a bad thing that children walk late. And my husband is 1 meter 85 tall, the height of the child is obviously much higher than the same age of children, and is still a small fat child, in my opinion, the child walks late is also normal. If the child walks prematurely, the child's legs are not well developed, can not bear the weight of the body, and rush to give the child exercise to walk, it is easy to lead to the child's foot deformity and development problems.
Therefore, for the elderly to persuade me to let my child learn to walk, I just pushed back and said that it was not too late to exercise after the child was one year old. In this regard, my mother-in-law still kept persuading, but I did not take it seriously.
But what I didn't expect was that when the mother-in-law took the child out to play, she actually quietly touched and took the child with the neighbor to exercise the child to learn to walk. Not only that, but my mother-in-law also borrowed a walker from a neighbor's child to let my baby learn to walk, and because of this, I had some disputes with my mother-in-law.
For the baby to learn to walk, in my opinion, it is better to be late than early. Especially for different babies, the physical development conditions are not the same, can not use the same standard to require all babies, otherwise it is in the seedlings to promote, it is likely to lead to some baby leg development problems.
3 situations where helping your child learn to walk is a favor
When helping your baby learn to walk, parents and friends often have the following 3 kinds of help, do you also have it?
Always holding your baby to walk
Friends who have learned to ride a bicycle may know that when learning to ride a bicycle, it is difficult to learn if you always let people help you learn to ride a bicycle. Instead, it is easier for people to practice there alone, but it is easier to learn to ride a bicycle. In fact, the same is true for babies practicing walking.
The efficiency of having your baby learn to walk alone is often much more efficient than having someone to help your baby practice walking, and it's easier to learn to walk. Because only by letting the baby practice alone can the baby better grasp the balance of the body. Otherwise, because parents are worried about their children's wrestling, they always help the baby to practice walking, which is equivalent to parents helping the child control the balance of the body, try to ask the baby can not control their own balance, how can they learn to walk?
Practice walking with a walker
When the baby learns to walk, many people may give the baby a walker, thinking that this is an artifact for the baby to learn to walk, which can not only free the hands of adults, but also better help the baby learn to walk.
As everyone knows, using a walker is a very stupid way. Like adults helping children to walk, children cannot grasp their own balance and cannot learn to walk well.
Practicing walking with a walker can also cause some other problems. Baby in the walker, front and back left and right 4 directions can move at will, it is precisely because of this, especially in the environment with a certain slope, the child can not control the direction, is likely to develop a bad walking posture, and even become like a crab walking.
Not only that, children use walkers, but also because the walker can not meet the needs of children's height well, resulting in the baby in the walker, either high or low. If it is high, the baby needs to walk on tiptoe; if it is low, it will cause the baby to walk with bent feet. This can easily lead to malformations in your baby's feet.
Put on socks and soft-soled shoes to learn to walk
When the baby learns to walk, parents are worried that the child's feet are cold, so it is possible to put socks on the child or put soft-soled shoes on the son, which is also incorrect.
Because after putting on socks or shoes for children, the soles of children's feet cannot be in direct contact with the ground, so that when the child learns to walk, he cannot better perceive the situation on the ground, which is conducive to making correct judgments when the child walks.
In addition, wearing socks to walk, it is easy to slip, resulting in the baby falling when walking, which may make the baby dare not easily take steps to walk.
Although the above parents and friends may be for the good of the child, for the child to learn to walk better, but its practice is not scientific, which affects the child's better efficiency of practicing walking, it is really helpful.
So what can parents do to help their children practice walking more scientifically?
Take your baby to learn to walk, don't be in a hurry
First of all, we need to firmly believe that it is not that the sooner the baby walks, the smarter the baby will be. Instead, when the baby has developed perfectly in the feet, let the baby practice walking, which is more conducive to the baby's healthy development and more conducive to the baby's learning to walk.
Therefore, it is best to let the baby practice walking when he is about one year old. Parents and friends can judge according to the actual situation of their babies such as tall, fat and thin. But there is one thing to remember, and that is not to rush it, so as not to backfire.
Give your baby more opportunities to practice walking alone
When the baby practices walking, parents should not always be in a hurry and want to help the baby, but should give the baby more opportunities to practice alone. For example, we can let the baby practice walking on the sofa or stool, which not only gives the baby the opportunity to practice independently, but also allows the baby to practice walking and master the balance of the body.
Maybe the baby learned to walk unconsciously when he was practicing alone, which may be much more efficient than the parents helping the baby to practice walking.
Let your baby practice walking barefoot
When the baby practices walking, we are best to let the baby walk barefoot to practice walking, which is more conducive to the baby to feel the ground through the soles of the feet, and it is also conducive to the baby to make better judgments and adjust the walking posture in time. The grip of the feet on the ground is helpful for the baby to control the balance of the body.
If we are worried about the baby walking barefoot and the feet are cold, in fact, we can prepare a crawling mat or carpet for the baby to practice walking on the crawling mat or carpet, which is also a good way to help the baby walk.
Encourage your baby to walk
When the baby is practicing walking, parents and friends are best able to give the baby more encouragement, rather than urging complaints and accusations. You know, parents should give the baby a positive response, encourage the baby more, and cheer the baby, so that the baby can take the first step more bravely.
Otherwise, the negative emotions inadvertently transmitted by parents may make the baby feel afraid, dare not take the first step, and even be unwilling to walk.
In fact, when the baby practices walking, parents can actually be lazy, and maybe the baby will learn to walk faster. Do you agree?
