Teaching the child to crawl

An important stage in the life of each child is the beginning of independent movement. When a child creeps, he not only strengthens his muscles, but also develops motor skills. Some period of his life the baby has to creep.


I want to move myself!

The baby grows every day, changes, moves, looks at and touches toys, turns sopinki on his tummy, but to achieve his goal he needs help. If a child is interested in something, for example, someone came or from another room is heard some interesting sound for him, then he will necessarily need an adult who can transfer it to wherever he wants. But when the child begins to crawl, before it opens a new world and new possibilities. Naturally, impatient parents want to see how the baby walks, but do not rush. It is necessary to wait a little and stay at this stage. Catching is an important part in the development of the child.

Pediatricians say that when the baby crawls, it develops physically, the muscles become stronger, especially the muscles of the arms, the shoulder girdle and the vertebral column. Moreover, the coordination of movements becomes better, the mice begin to work, which did not work at all until crawling or they paid little attention. The crawl is a kind of preparation of the baby for walking.

This stage in the life of the child is important not only from the point of view of medicine. When the crawling creeps, he has to think, he makes decisions himself, where he crawls for what. Over time, he realizes that he can move around, he can take the objects himself, not only those that lie side by side, but also those that are far away. The child himself chooses how he should crawl. Besides, he learns crawling on different surfaces. For small children to learn to keep the balance, this is not an easy task.

Such a method of movement is very important for micro- and macromotoric oxychromes. It is in the process of crawling that the coordination of movements and macromotorics develops, but the micromotorics develop when the child takes objects that lie on the floor, puts the handles in the cracks, and pulls the fringe of the chair.

When the baby begins to fully master the process, he understands that the cdpets can creep and crawl, and you can also move with a different speed. When he starts walking, he will need all this knowledge and skills.

You can help a child who does not want to crawl.

Crawling, the child opens a new world

  1. When the baby creeps, he studies the surface of the floor, remembers how the objects are arranged in the room, learns to navigate in space, tries to get one object from under the other, he studies his body - touches different surfaces of parts of his body.
  2. Visual perception is improved. What the child sees on the floor is much different from what he sees in his mother's handcuffs.
  3. Both hemispheres begin to interact with each other. Because when a crawling crawl, then immediately moves and left and right foot, or left and right hand.
  4. Many do not believe that crawling, the child pawns a foundation for the subsequent development of speech, but in order to master some complex grammatical constructions one must be able to navigate well in space.
  5. Crawling prepares the baby for what will be separated from her mother. In the first year of life, psychologists often call the mother and the "us" system, because they are very interrelated and interdependent. After the first year of life, the child gradually separates from the mother, but begins with the fact that he moves in the direction of the mother. Crawling is excellent in this helps.

At first the child is frightened by his new skill, so often this stage in life is called "manual", because he constantly asks "for pens." When the baby crawls away from the mother, it is important for him to know that my mom has not gone anywhere, and remains in his place so that he can turn back to her any second. Practically the same thing happens to him when he starts to walk.

When a child begins to move freely, the zanim must be closely observed. Because of his new ability, he actively studies the world, not thinking that somewhere there can be a danger. At this age he is interested in everything, so he can be interested in a tablecloth that hangs from a table, a staircase that leads to the second floor, glassware, doors that open and close easily, and so on. Do not leave the child alone.

Practical exercises

Exercise # 1. We support the elongated straight handles.

To a crawling crawling, he should have a stable support for direct hands and the ability to rely on only three points. At 6months, when the child lies on his stomach, he must be able to take toys that are in front of him, and also be able to rise on arms outstretched. If your kid does not know how, then help him.

It's small on the stomach, and you hang in front of his favorite toy so that she was a little above your head. In order to reach the object, he will have to pull the handle and raise the upper part of the trunk, and the second hand will support him. If the toy is not interesting, then take another one or first let it touch it, hang it with the apom.

Exercise number 2. We strengthen the vestibular apparatus, teach the baby to work handles when it is on the tummy.

Form a blanket from the blanket and put the baby under the breast when it lies on the stomach. The hands of the needle must hang from the roller, and the legs and abdomen are on the floor or on the sofa. So the child can take various objects with both hands and at the same time turn his head in all directions.

Exercise number 7. We teach crumbs to crawl on all fours.

It is best to do this exercise paired with someone. Put the child on the floor on all fours, one man moves his hands, and the other leg. In this case, one moves the left handle of the baby, the other tries to push the left leg, the same is done vice versa.

Its way

Many mothers and fathers are proud that their child did not crawl, but immediately start. However, if a child begins to walk early, he will get his own at an older age. Do not abuse the baby, if he will crawl for a long time, it is very important for him.

We all passed our way when we mastered space, somewhere in five months and up to a year, who is more, who is less. All children are different, that's why they should walk and turn around, and everyone starts to crawl in a different age and start to do it differently. Someone tries first to move crawling backward, someone ahead, someone first manages only in a plastunist way, someone moves cross-over, and someone first starts to move the right hand and right foot, and then left arm and left foot. All these options are absolutely normal. Do not expect that your child will behave, just like the son of your girlfriend, he will go his own way of development.
