Crawling, in the process of child growth is indispensable, some parents are often reluctant to let their children learn to crawl or ignore the process of letting their children learn to crawl, because he does not understand the benefits of crawling for the physical and mental development of children. What are the benefits of letting children learn to crawl? First of all, when crawling, infants must lift their heads and necks, chest and abdomen off the ground, and support the weight of their bodies with their limbs, which makes the muscles of the hands, feet, chest, abdomen, back and limbs exercise and gradually develop, laying the foundation for later standing and walking; secondly, after infants learn to crawl, they expand their vision and contact range, stimulate their brains through visual, auditory and tactile senses, and promote coordination in all aspects, which is very important for the development of the brain and The crawling movement can also improve the metabolism of infants and help the growth and development of the body. Crawling can be a vigorous exercise for infants and is more energy intensive, consuming one times more energy than sitting. Due to the increased energy consumption, the infant eats more, sleeps more, and grows more. The development of crawling can be divided into two steps: at about 7 months of age, Deen crawls, with the abdomen wriggling and the limbs moving irregularly, not forward, but backward. The second stage develops into crawling on all fours at about 8-10 months, i.e. crawling on hands and knees, and finally develops into crawling on hands and feet with both hips and both legs straightened. Infant crawling is critical to improving the infant’s total body coordination, so either parent should train their infant in this program by age of the month. At 7-8 months of age, infants begin to learn to crawl. When infants crawl, the head and neck are raised, and the chest and abdomen are correspondingly high, because the weight of the whole body is supported by the upper and lower limbs, so repeatedly every day, not only the muscles of the limbs can be exercised, but also the following kinds of benefits: Benefit 1: improve mobility Crawling can exercise the strength of the baby’s whole body large muscle activity, especially the coordination and flexibility of limb activity, is a comprehensive physical fitness activities It helps the development of the sense of sight and sound, spatial location, balance, and promotes the coordination of the body; it also enables smooth blood circulation and promotes the growth and development of muscles and bones. Benefits 2: enhance physical fitness crawling is the baby’s first whole body coordination exercise, can exercise the chest muscles, back muscles, abdominal muscles and the strength of the limbs muscles; and crawling in the consumption of energy, help babies eat more, sleep well, weight, length grow fast. Benefit 3: Improve parent-child communication Crawling can improve the communication between mother and child. After the baby can crawl, the success experience under the guidance of parents is increasing, and can get a variety of experiences such as excitement, success and failure in crawling. These experiences can enrich the baby’s emotions, and research shows that babies who crawl often are significantly more excited to see their parents than babies who do not crawl. Benefit 4: Promote social development When an infant crawls, the possibility of touching objects forbidden by the parents and doing things that the parents do not allow him to do are greatly increased, which objectively increases the opportunity for parent-child emotional interaction; at the same time, the infant crawls so that the parents are aware of the infant’s own initiative and make the parents begin to demand certain norms from the child and begin to express their displeasure at the infant’s irregular behavior. These changes further contribute to the infant’s social-emotional development. Benefit 5: Promote brain development Crawling requires close cooperation between the brain and the cerebellum, and more crawling can enrich the neural connections between the brain and the cerebellum and promote brain growth. Crawling action from the initial crawling reflex, through the head, roll, roll, crawl and other intermediate links, and finally developed into a real crawl, need to go through a number of learning, practice; each learning and practice is a positive mobilization and stimulation of the brain. Therefore, learning to crawl is actually an intensive training of the brain nervous system function. Benefit 6: Promote language development and prevent dyslexia The frequency of language communication in babies depends on the frequency of body language. Babies who crawl constantly explore the world around them with their own bodies and have many moves with unknown results, so the frequency of parental language is significantly more than that of babies who do not crawl. Crawling, on the other hand, greatly expands the range of sight and sound, and the amount of stimulation, thinking, language and imagination skills are naturally developed and improved. In the interaction between parents’ constant verbal cues, their own body language, and the results of their behavior, the accuracy of the baby’s understanding of language and the rationality of body language responses develop much faster than in babies who do not crawl. Benefit 7: Good character development Crawling brings babies a lot of unexpected fun, and “crawling and rolling” also exercises the baby’s will and courage, which is conducive to the development of the baby’s personality. Benefit 8: the desire to explore the baby’s motor, nervous and other systems in the crawling to get full exercise. This not only helps the baby’s bones, muscles, nerves, brain development, but also can lay a good physiological and psychological foundation for them to understand the world earlier and better. These learning experiences will turn into curiosity and make babies brave enough to explore, but also develop future independent problem-solving skills and self-confidence.
