Exercises lying down
The child is still very young, he is about three months old. He flexes his legs and pushes them. This is its peculiarity and should be used for training. If you put the child on a flat surface and press your hands to his feet, he will start to rest and pushing forward, moving forward. The same will happen if you put the baby so that his legs rest against the wall. A good training for the development of muscles will be the game "Bike". It is necessary to gently pick up his feet and make movements with legs, as when riding a bicycle. The kid will be very pleased, if at the same time and say: "Let's go, go, go!"
In the future, when the child starts walking, his vestibular apparatus will play a very important role in keeping his balance. To train and develop the balance, a big ball is useful. It is necessary alternately that a stomach or belly, a back to put on it the kid and accurately to make rotational movements.
On the way to vertical position
At the age of five months the child seeks to actively move, but so far only crawling. He can not walk independently for physiological reasons - all the bends of the spine have not yet formed. But for him it is already possible to demonstrate how great it is to walk straight up. For this, the so-called "jumpers" serve. But if they are not, you need to give the kid the opportunity to jump, holding his hands. He will be happy and happy to kick off the floor.
You can imitate the walking of a child. To do this, keep the kid upright so that his legs touch the floor. Moving, with each step move it from place to place. It is necessary to follow the duration of the exercises so that the child's back does not get tired.
By the age of 7 months, the child has all the possibilities for himself, getting up, getting up on his feet, which he is trying to do. Often he lacks the determination and courage to tear himself away from the couch, chair or other support. Help him overcome fear through an attractive toy. It is necessary to push it away from the child, stimulating it to move. Then pick her up on an armchair or a bed and the baby, perhaps, will try to climb after her.
Well, if a child has the opportunity to play and communicate with children a little older in age. Trying to imitate them, he will strive to get up and go.
First free steps
So, the baby is already 8 months old. It easily moves next to armchairs, chairs, walls, but is afraid to take a step away from them. You can take a gymnastic hoop, put it inside the child and move with it around the room. At some point the baby will release the edges of the hoop and go himself. A good tool is also a baby stroller. Her baby can roll around the room, getting the habit of moving on her legs.
About the security rules
To the child learned to step over the rapids and other obstacles, you have to walk with him by the hand around the room, showing how and where to raise your legs. If the baby falls, do not make a stir. It is better to point out the reason for the fall and reassure him. The main thing is that in the room there are no things that can cause injury to the child, when it falls. These are beating, sharp, metal objects.
It remains to be said that if a child does not get up on his feet after a year, despite all the games with him and the exercises, it is necessary to seek medical advice from a doctor.
