Baby starts learning to crawl around seven or eight months old. This is a milestone stage in the growth of children and also plays an important role in the development of children's sensory . Why do you say so? This article tells you the relationship between children's crawling and sensory development, as well as the benefits of children's crawling.
The relationship between children's crawling and sensory synthesis development
Imagine what sensory abilities need to be used when children crawl?
1. Vision helps children see obstacles
2. Prosthetic conscious controls muscle operation
3. Vestibule sense supports body balance
4. Tactile sensation stimulation brought by crawling
. It can be seen that crawling can stimulate children's multiple sensory development. During the crawling process, the brain's sensory organs coordinate and cooperate with the body's movement organs, which is conducive to sensory integration and development. It is a very simple and widely applicable method of sensory training .
Benefits of crawling for children
promotes bilateral functional differentiation of the brain into
During the child's crawling process, the strong stimulation felt by both limbs can promote the formation of the central groove of the cerebral cortex, helping the functional differentiation of the left and right brain on both sides of the brain. Children with bilateral brain inseparable from differentiation may use their whole body strength when doing some simple movements, such as when writing, and so on, so that they can use force to the areas where they shouldn't be exerting force.
The better the bilateral differentiation of the brain, the better the specialization of each function will be, and the child will be able to complete the instructions more preparedly.
is conducive to the development of ontology , muscle group development
When children crawl, multiple muscles need to be used, such as:
- Neck muscle control Visual stability
- trunk muscles keep the body upright and breathe smooth
- Shoulder muscles determine the development of arm movements and fine movements
- Hip muscle tissue Lower limb movements
During the child's crawl, the control and development of these muscle groups are also gradually increasing, which is conducive to the development of children's physical coordination abilities.
stimulates the vestibular sensory ability and helps spatial visual development
When a child crawls, his body is in a low position. If you want to get a better field of vision, you need to raise your head and control your body balance during crawl.
These are all conducive to the development of children's vestibular sensation, helping children enhance eye control and improve sense of balance.
Vestibular awareness plays an important role in children's attention. Fully crawling promotes the development of vestibular awareness and can help children maintain a high level of concentration in their future study and life.
Crawling is the most basic sensory training and has a profound impact on children's development. Parents should not ignore the importance of crawling in order to help their children learn to walk faster. In sensory development, the meaning of crawling is much higher than walking or even running.
