The harm of babies walking without crawling Is it good for babies to walk without crawling

Some babies learn to walk without going through the crawling stage. Some parents think that it is smart for their children to walk without fear. In fact, not going through the crawling stage is not conducive to the growth of babies. Today, let's talk about the benefits of crawling.

What should you pay attention to if your baby can't crawl

Professor Gao Baoqin said: Crawling is very important in the motor development of infants and young children. Crawling not only promotes the coordinated development of whole-body movements and lays the foundation for upright walking, but also allows them to face the world positively at an early age, increase spatial search, actively accept and recognize things, and promote the development of infants' cognitive abilities. Crawling is very important for the motor development of infants and young children.

1. If your child still cannot crawl when the time comes, you should be alert to the occurrence of cerebral palsy

Because cerebral palsy is caused by brain nerve damage, brain damage can lead to infants and young children being unable to crawl, roll over, and other physical motor impairments. When parents find that their children have abnormal symptoms, they should go to professional medical institutions for examination and diagnosis in time to achieve early detection and early treatment.

2. Do parents create conditions for their babies to have the opportunity to train crawling?

When a baby grows up in an environment, he will definitely be affected by the environment. So if you want your baby to learn to crawl, the mother needs to build a crawling space and create some crawling conditions so that the baby has the opportunity to get crawling training and grow through crawling.

3. Parents are overly caring and worried

Since the national policy of only having one child was introduced, babies have been growing up under the extra attention of their parents and grandparents from birth to adulthood. Some parents are overly worried about their children falling down, getting their clothes dirty, etc., and they don't let their children do any exercise. They are simply holding their children in their hands. However, are these practices of parents really good for the growth of their children? If children want to learn to crawl and walk, they must learn and fall on their own to grow more healthily. Therefore, for the health of children, let them crawl, even if they get dirty or bruised, it doesn't matter, so that they can grow.

4. Parents always put their children in walkers so that they can walk without crawling.

Nowadays, children have "special cars" when they go out, but this may not necessarily be a good thing.

If you can't crawl, just walk.

The mother asked: Is it okay for the baby to walk directly without crawling?

Teacher's answer: People often say that children who walk early are smart. In fact, this is a wrong understanding and has no scientific basis. If the baby does not get enough crawling training, the baby's walking flexibility, coordination, limb strength and other aspects will be affected.

Crawling is very important for the growth of babies. After learning to crawl, babies will find that the world is within reach, which is an important foundation for them to explore the world. Crawling exercises the muscles and bones of the baby's whole body, which is crucial for the development of the baby's motor coordination ability. Therefore, crawling is an important foundation for walking.

Crawling can also promote the overall development of the baby's sensory system, various skills and abilities: see chart

Warm reminder: Babies standing too early may suffer from amblyopia, O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs.

Crawling promotes brain development

In the process of exploring the treatment of cerebral palsy, some American doctors accidentally discovered that crawling is of great significance to brain development. Especially in the treatment of children with brain damage, the effect of crawling-based therapy is quite satisfactory. Children who crawl well can walk well, learn to speak quickly, and have strong ability to recognize words and read.

From the anatomical structure of the brain, the midbrain is an important part of the brain stem (the location of the human life center). It uploads external information and issues brain commands. It is lined with the two major reflex centers of vision and hearing. It is the headquarters in charge of hearing sounds and seeing things. From this, we can see the importance of the midbrain. Promoting the function of the midbrain will undoubtedly make the entire brain function "take it to a higher level." Through the dual stimulation of crawling and perception, the defective midbrain function can be gradually restored.

The cerebellum is responsible for the body's movement balance, and crawling is a whole-body movement. It can train the cerebellum's balance and reaction connection, promote the entanglement of nerve fibers to form a network, and is beneficial to the improvement of the structure of the brain and nervous system. It will inevitably have a good impact on children's learning of language and reading.

Furthermore, the crawling action develops from the initial crawling reflex, through the intermediate links of raising the head, turning over, crawling, and finally developing into real crawling, which requires multiple learning and practice. Each learning and practice is a mobilization and stimulation of the brain's enthusiasm. Therefore, learning to crawl is actually an intensive training of the brain's nervous system function, which plays an irreplaceable special role in the development of the brain.
