Crawling is the most important stage in the development of a child, and his further development of the skill of movement, as well as coordination, depends on how correctly he learns to crawl.
Instructions
Step 1
For the first time, children make attempts to crawl during the first year of their life, when they are just learning to kneel. During this period, pay special attention to your child - often keep the floor clean, as dust tends to accumulate quickly.
Step 2
During the period when the child is just learning to crawl and still cannot move dynamically and for a long time, a special crawling mat will be a good option for him. Buy it at any baby store.
Step 3
In the early stages of crawling, give your child freedom of movement. Let him crawl in whatever direction he wants.
Step 4
When the child is already good at crawling on his rug, remove it so that he feels even more free.
Step 5
Teach your child to crawl in a forward direction. To do this, move 2-3 meters away from him and lure him with some bright rattle. Call your baby by name and be sure to smile at him. Rest assured - he will crawl towards you with great pleasure at double speed, and fast crawling plays a very important role in the development of the child.
Step 6
Place various obstacles in the child's path, such as benches, small boxes, and so on. Let your child climb over obstacles on their own. Keep attracting him with the rattle. Smile and always encourage the child.
Step 7
Teach your child to crawl in a narrow, straight line, such as a bench. To complicate this exercise, gradually increase the incline of the bench, but not downhill in the direction of the child, but upward.
Step 8
Crawl with children throughout the preschool period of growth, play with them crawling games. This helps to relax the spine, and also gives an even and not strong load on the arms and legs of the child.
