Scientific research shows that whether infants and young children undergo sufficient crawling training in the early stages will have a great impact on their growth, development and intellectual development. Children who are not good at crawling are more likely to suffer from problems such as falling and often bumping when they walk. Therefore, parents should master scientific methods, provide their children with opportunities to learn to crawl, and work hard to exercise their children's ability to crawl.
Basic crawling
Let the child lie on the bed or on the floor mat. The mother or father holds the child's knees with one hand and wraps the other hand on his chest. Let the child put his hands on the bed or on the floor mat to support his body. Then slowly loosen the hands on the child's chest, encourage the child to support himself. Practice 1 to 2 times a day, and decide the practice time according to the actual situation, usually 3 to 5 minutes each time.
Put a toy in front of the child to lure him to climb over to get the toy. Mom or dad can use his hands to hold the child's soles, bend his knee joints alternately, and help him crawl forward. Repeat 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 times a day.
After that, gradually reduce the help and train the baby to crawl by himself. When you first crawl, the baby is very hard to get out of the bed, so you can place a towel on his abdomen, and then lift the abdomen and let him practice crawling with his hands and knees. Slowly, the baby's limbs will be coordinated. Every time you move forward a little, parents should use words or hugs and kisses to express encouragement and rewards.
When the baby crawls, play some nice music, and you can chat and tell stories with the baby at the same time, so that the child can feel that crawling is a very relaxed and happy thing.
Crawl in various ways
Kids like to imitate adult behavior. Parents can also demonstrate how to crawl for their children when teaching them to crawl, or create some games about crawl to increase the enthusiasm of babies to learn to crawl.
uses the game to increase the fun of crawling: for example, when you wake up in the morning, let the baby climb from one end of the quilt to the other end. The distance and time of each climb should not be too long, usually about 20 meters.
Turning and crawling: First, play with the interesting toys for the child, then hide the toys behind him in person, luring the child to turn and crawling.
Crawling path: Arrange a small piece of carpet, foam floor mat, linseed foot pad, towel and other things to form an interesting path, allowing children to climb along the "path" and experience the feeling of crawling on grounds of different textures.
Participate in crawling competitions: Take your children to participate in more social activities, such as the "Baby Crawling Competition", so that children can feel the endless happiness brought to them when playing with other children. It not only exercises children's crawling ability, but also has the opportunity to make new friends.
Notes
The prerequisite for practicing crawling is that the hands can support the weight of the upper body, the upper and lower limbs can move freely, and bend and straighten.
From the beginning of training, you should pay attention to maintaining the correct posture and coordination of the hands and feet, that is, when the left hand extends forward, flexes the left lower limbs.
should be safely protected during training and try not to learn to crawl in bed to prevent falling.
When learning to crawl, be careful not to have buttons, coins, pins, glass balls, beans, sugar balls and other small items on the ground where the child crawls, so as to avoid the child from swallowing it.
Each child has different growth and development, and there are certain individual differences. Some babies may have started crawling and exploration at 6 or 7 months. Some babies may reach the age they should have climbed, but they have no intention of climbing. Parents should not be too anxious about this. They can guide their babies to do some crawling exercises or games, and then wait for the flowers to bloom.
