Regarding the growth and development indicators of children, the elderly usually have such sayings: one sleep, two lifts, three rolls, four supports, five grasps, six sitting, seven rolls, eight climbing, nine teeth, ten stations, eleven supports, and twelve walks.
But some children skip the "crawling" step and learn to walk directly. What is the difference between a baby who crawls first and a baby who can walk?
If your baby can't crawl and can only walk, don't be too happy!
There are two criteria for child development indicators, one is gross motor and the other is fine motor. Gross movement refers to children's crawling, walking, jumping and other indicators, so in fact, "crawling" is an important indicator to evaluate children's gross movements.
Don't underestimate the role of crawling. Crawling is associated with a child's brain development and overall coordination.
As children learn to crawl, their thumbs will be upward. The more they climb, the more they use their toes and the stronger they become. The external rotation of the thigh when crawling is conducive to learning to walk later, or to learning to walk later. The time will be more stable.
In addition, the child crawls in a prone position. At this time, the muscles of the baby's back and neck are exercised. The baby's head is raised high and he is free to see things around him, which stimulates the development of the brain and makes the child smarter.
Therefore, crawling is beneficial for the child's overall coordination and brain development.
Children who learn to walk directly have poor coordination.
My child didn't learn to climb when he was a kid. When he was seven or eight months old, I happened to take him to my hometown. It was winter, and the weather in my hometown was colder. The clothes the child wears are very thick, and it is difficult to crawl, so he has never learned to climb. 。
When the next year is one year old, the weather is gradually warming, and the child will start to walk directly. At that time, the child had a physical examination every six months. When he was more than a year old, he took his child for a medical check-up. The doctor said that the child's crawling ability needs to be exercised.
But the child has already passed the stage of wanting to learn to climb and directly learns to walk. If you let your child crawl, your child will cry a lot. The old man felt sorry for the child, so the child skipped the crawling stage.
There are indeed a lot of follow-up questions. The child walks very unsteadily. My child started learning to walk at the age of one and was still unsteady at one year and three months old. He often needs adults to support him. This state of affairs continues. The child is already two years old.
In addition to walking unsteadily, the child cannot climb the ** steps because he cannot climb. The child has no strength in the back, wrists, and arms. The worst thing was that he fell. Your child's arm is unable to exert force and will often hit his mouth.
Allowing children to learn to climb is a must.
Through the above comparison, you must have discovered the difference between a child who can climb and a child who can't. So in fact, crawling is not a standard for testing children's development indicators, but a big action that is very conducive to children's growth and development.
When it comes to the age to learn to crawl, mothers can help their children learn to crawl by doing the following.
1.Exercise your child.
When a child first learns to climb, the strength of the waist and abdomen is not enough. It can be counterproductive if parents force their children to get up on their own. The best thing to do is for parents to help their children exercise their lower back and abdomen.
What exactly should be done? It's simple. Have the baby lie on the parent's lap so that the child feels the sensation of crawling. With the support of the parents' thighs, the child's waist and abdomen will not bear too much force.
In this way, step by step, you can exercise your child's waist and abdominal strength.
In addition, after the child can sit, parents can let the child lie on the bed, and then pull the child's arm to let the child get up, which can also exercise the strength of the child's waist and abdomen.
2. Encourage your child.
Although the elderly often say "turn over, sit down, crawl", parents do not need to be too anxious. The child is not able to crawl at eight months. As long as the child does not reject it, it is okay to keep learning to climb.
Parents should interact with their children more and encourage them more. They can tease their children with their favorite toys by making them crawl over and reach for them.
Only when you have raised your children will you know the kindness of your parents. When I was a child, I felt that this sentence was the "hypocrisy" of the elderly. Now that I'm an older and a mom, I understand the meaning of this sentence.
Raising children is hard, but this is life, this is the greatness of motherhood.
