This also makes each child in the crawling stage, the time and degree of contact crawling will be different, so it also has different degrees of influence on the child's later growth and development.

For her best friend Xiaoyun, she has always held a less supportive attitude towards her children's crawling practice.

Because she thinks children are too dirty to climb around, and always make clothes messy and dusty, she doesn't want children to practice climbing.

Presumably, many parents, like Xiaoyun, think that children will get dirty when they practice crawling, so they should let their children climb on the bed at most.

Pediatrician Bao believes that this view may not help children's healthy development, and may even bring some obstacles.

Because the child is in the stage of growth and development, if the corresponding crawling practice is carried out, it will not only be good for physical development, but also good for the brain and other aspects.

So parents can't ignore their children's crawling exercises. Let's take a concrete look at the benefits of children's crawling practice.

0 1 What are the benefits of children practicing crawling? Most parents always cling to the idea that children can crawl and think that children should be able to crawl at this stage.

However, many parents don't know how much benefit crawling exercises at this stage have for their children.

1) Exercise children's coordination ability

Children's crawling practice can greatly exercise their coordination ability. Because children need to use limbs and senses in the process of crawling, in this process, the coordination of the body will be continuously improved through the control of the body.

Because coordination ability is not necessarily innate, it often needs to be cultivated through acquired practice in order to have a better grasp of your body.

In the process of crawling, children will inevitably encounter all kinds of obstacles, so children need to judge these obstacles through their limbs and brain, and then avoid them, so as to improve the coordination of the body.

2) Promote the baby's brain development

Training children to crawl can further improve their brain development. This is because the brain development of the child after birth has not been fully finalized, and it is still in the growth and development stage.

Therefore, crawling exercises can make children's brains and cerebellums constantly receive and process all kinds of information, so as to get exercise and cooperation.

So children can get continuous training in crawling again and again, which is far better than lying or sitting, because they can get more development.

3) Cultivate children's desire to explore.

Crawling training for babies will also help to cultivate their desire for exploration. This is because children face some unknown obstacles in the process of crawling, which need to be sent back to the brain for analysis and processing.

Over time, when children face the unknown, they will form a conditioned reflex, which is the so-called desire to explore.

This will be of great help to children's future study and life, because it will lay a certain foundation for their future curiosity and ability to solve problems independently.

How to guide children to crawl? Presumably, parents may increase their children's crawling times after understanding the benefits of their children's crawling exercises.

But this may be difficult for some inexperienced parents because they don't know how to guide their children to crawl.

In fact, pediatricians suggest that parents can guide their children to crawl in about three months, which can often achieve better results.

▲ Let the children practice squatting first.

If children want to practice crawling, they should first learn how to lie down correctly. Because crawling requires the use of children's limbs and torso, first let the children learn to lie down, so that they can master the essentials of crawling in advance.

Parents can let their children practice consciously raising their heads while lying down, which can not only exercise trunk strength, but also help them practice other behaviors.

Therefore, parents can let their children learn to support from the beginning, so that they can exercise muscle strength and prepare for the next step.
