Stimulate children to crawl is to allow psychomotor development, in an age between zero (0) and twelve (12) months of age; Adults should not worry or be alarmed if the child does not feel the need to crawl, it is just a matter of stimulating them correctly so that they feel interest.

Is encouraging children to crawl appropriate for them in their development?

Source

To encourage children who are not yet motivated to crawl or who have some kind of phase difference, it is important that children cover each developmental milestone according to their age and, of course, according to what the adult expects from the children.

Each development milestone means that children acquire certain skills that are necessary to then acquire other skills. It is to complete a cycle that has different aspects and even so, they complement each other, among which are:

• Psychomotor.

• Cognitive.

• Linguistics.

Among many others. This favors a good development in general in children.

What happens if a child does not complete the corresponding cycle to learn to crawl in their chronological age?

Source

It is necessary to clarify that starting at eight (8) months of age, children start with a more adequate position to be able to crawl and that is where they are progressing; It is in the nine (09) months or so that the child as such begins to crawl. But there are children who never do it and this affects them, because the tracking leads to other positive effects in people, in the psychomotor and cognitive abilities that are affected by the fact of not crawling.

Influence on children when crawling

Source

When children learn to crawl, they develop at various stages of their growth, which include:

• Motor coordination.

• The coordination that has to do specifically with, (eye / hand).

• The crossing and encounter of information from one hemisphere to another.

When children prepare to crawl, they allow themselves a mobility that encompasses the visual perception of their entire space and, therefore, their body. When children are not encouraged to crawl, they do not develop these skills correctly; What includes and influences the mobility of the hands and feet, this also allows to exert force on the arms and legs, to maintain a correct and stable position. By being able to acquire the ability to move around on its own, it allows children to have a spatial configuration of the places where they move, and in this way trace the objectives that must be achieved.

Significant contributions in children when crawling

Source

When children crawl, an important contribution is reflected in them, since it allows:

• Good laterality.

• Good development of the corpus callosum. (It is the series of connections between the two hemispheres).

As the child practices, all acquired skills improve and, as much as possible, develop many more, which in the future will serve many purposes, such as:

• Read.

• To write.

• To be able to dance.

To do many things, we need the skills that are acquired when crawling and this is possible through their practice, as it spontaneously and positively promotes effective development.
