Parents can be anxious for the child, especially if he is the first. They are interested in various questions: from connected with safety of the kid to those that concern health and development.
It is pleasant when the kid is ahead of peers in something, but it is excessive to be zealous and adjust development nevertheless does not follow. For example, such skill as sitting, to the child often try to impart a bit earlier. Generally these attempts are inspired by conversations with relatives or acquaintances, stories about progress of other children who allegedly at very early age are able "to sit in pillows". But, first, to sit in pillows and on a firm surface – not the same, both position of a body, and load of a backbone differ. Secondly, your child and neighbour's have unequal conditions of development, and you should not compare them.
Why it is not necessary to accustom to sit too early the child
Advise parents not to hurry with the child's prisazhivaniye at all, but someone nevertheless is let to experiments. These actions at least are irresponsible: muscular and skeletal system of the kid have to be prepared and become stronger properly. It is very important to sit down the kid tried itself, but did not submit to persistence of parents. The child's skeleton which insufficiently strengthened for such loadings can not stand them.
Early sitting leads to formation of violations of joints of a backbone – at school age problems, emergence of a lordoz, scoliosis are possible.
The most useful that parents can make – softly, without coercions to prepare the child for transition to a sitting position. Performance of simple gymnastics helps to strengthen muscles and to be prepared for sitting.1. The adult gives to the kid hands, inducing to grasp them. When it happens, hands should be pulled softly on itself. 2. To carefully carry out inclinations.3 with the child. Holding regular sessions of massage.
When months it is possible to seat the boy
Most of pediatricians hold the opinion that boys and girls for the first time can be seated on a firm surface at different age. Girls are recommended to put not earlier than seven-eight months, and here boys can be seated, since five-months age. As well as all norms, councils of doctors are rather conditional. Healthy children whose development happens without any deviations can sit down independently approximately at six-month-old age. But each kid develops on own "norms". When he begins to try to sit down is a certificate that the backbone can cope with such loadings.
If the child got stronger insufficiently to sit down, then in any attempts to be bent independently in a belt he just will be filled up sideways.
If the boy was 5-6 months old, he is already able to hold for some time a back directly. Now it is possible to begin to add it not only in pillows, but also on a plain surface. Duration of sitting will gradually increase, and the child will pass to the next stage of development soon – to crawling.
