In the first years of life, children have to learn everything very quickly, due to which from time to time they feel quite understandable difficulties. So, few of the children begin to walk quickly and confidently, since initially the child does not have balance, due to the undeveloped vestibular apparatus.
Instructions
Step 1
Walking in an upright position requires from the toddler the skills of coordinating movement and balancing, without which he, trying to take a step, simply falls to the "fifth" point. Gradually, the baby, little by little, will acquire the necessary skills by himself, his vestibular apparatus will be significantly strengthened, and his gait will be stable.
Step 2
But do not forget that the main assistants in the development of balance skills when walking are parents. They should teach the child to keep the balance correctly, first with the help of some devices, and then on their own. Simply put, the vestibular apparatus of a child begins to develop from his first birthday, for example, when his mother carries him in a stroller or carries him in her arms. But, nevertheless, this is not enough for walking on your own.
Step 3
While your child learns to walk or balance with your help, emotional communication is vital for the little one. Therefore, you should remain calm, tender and kind, in no case show impatience or discontent when the child does something wrong.
Step 4
According to many parents, there are many options for correcting a situation when the baby does not keep his balance well and is afraid to move. The best option would be a play situation in which the child is shown an interesting toy at a short distance from him, thereby prompting him to take the first step. It is clear that at the end of his journey, which will seem very long to the child, he will have to receive that very toy or even a treat as a reward.
Step 5
Other parents use ropes or laces in these exercises, one end of which is held by an adult to support the baby. Gradually, the rope can be released, but, while remaining in the hands of the child, the other end of the same rope will give him purely psychological confidence. You can use as training so-called help, which is worn on the waist and breast of the child, and the ends are held by an adult.
Step 6
Toys such as fitball, ball, rolling toys, or toys with laces can help your child coordinate movement. To practice fitball, parents should put the child on the ball with their tummy down and, holding the baby by the handles, wiggle on the simulator.
Step 7
The development of the vestibular apparatus must be continued even if the child is already walking confidently. True, the exercises themselves need to be complicated - this can be, for example, whirling with an adult or independently, balancing on a stable narrow surface.
