Before the baby's immature steps set foot on the stage of life, their every action and every attempt is like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting, affecting their future growth.
Crawling plays an important role in a child's physical development.
But many parents don't pay attention to this problem, especially the elders, when they see their children crawling, they will immediately go over and pick up their children, reluctant to let their children suffer a little.
Actually, this idea is not correct, and crawling has a very big impact on a child's future.
During the period when the baby is crawling again, more exercise crawling has many benefits for the child, not only to promote physical development, but also to improve his cognitive development.
So our parents should pay attention to it!
Children who "crawl first and then walk" and "walk without climbing" have a big gap when they grow up, so parents should not be careless
As the saying goes, "three flips and six sitting, seven rolls and eight crawls", babies want to gradually improve their physical skills, and do a good job in the following aspects:
Physical development
Children who "crawl first and then walk" have a gradual, solid and stable physical development process.
In the process of crawling, their muscles are fully exercised, and their bones become stronger in the gradual support.
Children who "walk without crawling" may not have enough muscles and bones to support such movements because they try to stand and walk too early, which increases their risk of injury and may lead to poor coordination in later sports.
Cognitive development
Cognitive development is a critical period for children's intellectual growth, and in this stage, the importance of "crawling" is self-evident.
During the crawling process, children need to constantly adjust their posture and orientation to adapt to the changing environment, which not only exercises their muscles and nervous system, but more importantly, promotes the cognitive development of their brain.
In contrast, children who "walk without crawling" may face more challenges in their cognitive development.
Due to their lack of the critical stage of crawling, they may be slightly deficient in the development of spatial perception, hand-eye coordination, etc.
This doesn't mean they can't bridge the gap, but parents and educators need to do more to help them overcome these obstacles with proper training and education.
Social skills
Social skills are important skills for children to adapt to society and build interpersonal relationships.
During the crawling phase, children begin to interact more directly with their surroundings, and they explore the world around them by touching, biting, etc., which is the first manifestation of their social development.
Children who "walk without crawling" may be more direct and impulsive socially because their movements develop more quickly.
They may not be fully prepared to understand and follow social rules, which can lead to conflicts in their interactions with peers and may even be the object of ostracism.
There are 4 points that children need to pay attention to when exercising crawling
I once saw a little girl who was hunched over and had a severe forward tilt of her pelvis, in large part because she barely crawled as a child and grew up unathletic.
Therefore, the difference in good posture between children who crawl often and children who walk without crawling is very obvious.
As parents, we should pay attention to the following points when letting our children exercise crawling in our daily life:
1. Safety first, the environment should be suitable
Before the baby starts to crawl, the house needs to be cleaned up.
Put away all the small items that may become "stumbling blocks", such as remote controls, coins, small toys, etc., which may not only cause your baby to fall and injure, but also may cause serious consequences such as suffocation.
2. Loose clothing, free hands and feet
In the process of learning to climb, the baby will definitely encounter a lot of "over the mountains" moments.
If they wear clothing that is too tight, it can greatly limit their mobility and may even affect their normal development.
Therefore, it is very important to choose loose, comfortable and breathable clothing.
This not only ensures your baby's freedom of movement, but also keeps them fresh as they learn to crawl and avoid skin problems caused by excessive sweating.
3. Moderate encouragement and patient companionship
When babies first learn to climb, they may encounter many difficulties and setbacks, such as how to exert force, how to adjust their posture, etc.
At this time, what they need most is the encouragement and support of their parents.
Parents should use gentle words and encouraging eyes to tell their babies that they can do it and not give up.
At the same time, we should also give babies enough patience and time to explore and learn on their own, because every baby's growth rhythm is different.
4. Regular check-ups to prevent diseases
In the process of babies learning to crawl, their physical development also needs to be paid close attention.
Parents can take their baby to the hospital regularly for medical check-ups to make sure that their physical development is normal.
In addition, since babies will be exposed to bacteria and viruses on the ground during crawling, their personal hygiene also needs to be paid special attention.
Parents should wash their baby's hands and face regularly to keep them clean and hygienic to reduce the chance of getting sick.
epilogue
As parents, we should not blindly pursue speed and efficiency during the crawling of our children, but should focus on the needs and experiences of our children as they grow up.
Let's spend our children through their childhood with love and patience, and help them up when they fall.
I believe that with our joint efforts, the children will be able to grow up healthy and happy!
