Each mummy, from the birth of his child to look forward to when he starts to hold the head, sitting, crawling, walking, talking. And if my mother tightly communicates with the same "colleagues maternity" in the yard, which happens often, it can be sown now "grain" doubt.
"But in time my child got?" "And why other children are crawling, and my not?", "What do a child should do first: to start to crawl or walk?". Let's define what skills demonstrates normal crumb for a year?
Whether or not?
Immediately make an important correction: your child owes nothing to compare, or rely on a neighbor's child is pointless, since your baby - is unique, it is absolutely individual personality, inherited from you and your ancestors' different skills and abilities, as well as the timing of their "performance" does not always coincide with his peers.
In contrast to the intellectual development, which is largely dependent on the environment the engine is most often associated with heredity, so, of course, there are average "norms" of child development, but they are very different from each other.
One of the most often questions of interest among parents is the question: "Do you must first learn to crawl baby So, before you start walking."That before?
Question is quite ambiguous, though crawling - it's a natural stage of human development that strengthening the muscles of the spine (spinal corset), which contributes to the ability to co-ordinate their movement. Just at the same time develop better motor skills of the child.
From a psychological point of view, crawling is also an integral part of the development - the child learns to think for themselves, make decisions, while making a sharp jump in its development. Because now he can independently get to the goal, driving his body comprehensively while developing your mind. ABOUTry many kids "jump" this stage of development and start walking immediately, and usually a little bit earlier than their counterparts crawling. However, the average time to start crawling considered to 8 months, but many kids are starting to do it and for 3-4 months before someone only to the age of one year, and some do begin their "four-legged" path only after the start walk.
On their bellies, side or back?
So often parents interested in the question: "How should a child to crawl?". Again, this question is correctly answered unequivocally, as it may be crawling on their bellies, and abdomen around him, as it can be movement sideways or backwards on all fours or on straightened legs, the pope, on his back, and even a "one-sided" crawling, when the child straightens one leg and the other flexes.
Perhaps this "unconventional" crawl, but because the child does not know how to "properly", he comes up with an easy and convenient way to it for themselves, and this does not mean it's wrong, but you can already adjust his skills and soon your baby will begin to entertain you quite familiar to all in the traditional way movement.
Every kid my way
Based on the above, we can conclude that begin to crawl before walking, of course, better, but if your child wants to move faster "On foot", than to crawl on all fours, while your pediatrician sees no abnormalities in the development of a little restless, the experience is absolutely not worth. It is a specific feature of your offspring and thousands of children who missed this "solemn" moment of movement on "four," and begin to walk perfectly and seamlessly.
Most importantly, pay attention to the more mobile games with your child, provide space for free movement and study space and invent more motivation for the child - and crumb sure soon will delight you with its achievements.
