In fact, from the perspective of modern parenting, barefoot does have many benefits for babies. A toddler can support the ground better with bare feet, and it is not easy to slip, which helps the baby to master the balance and walk more stably and better. Without socks, the baby's feet are not bound and can grow and develop naturally. Walking without shoes and socks, the ankle can move more freely, which is helpful for the development of the baby's ankle and arch.
There are many acupoints and meridians on the feet. Walking barefoot can stimulate these acupoints, strengthen sensory exercise, make the baby more sensitive, help the baby develop his brain and enhance his memory. The baby has just begun to perceive the world through his mouth. Only by seeing, listening, touching, smelling and tasting can the brain form a cognition of the outside world. There are many peripheral nerves on the foot, and the foot also needs to touch all kinds of soft and hard objects to stimulate the touch of the foot. The soles of the feet are sensitive to touch, and the baby walks steadily and is not easy to wrestle.
We can also see that in many places, children are trained in cold resistance by walking barefoot in the snow, such as our neighbors Japan and Russia. There is no denying that such training will make children in their country braver.
