How to help the child to begin to creep quicker
Experts advise parents to remember that all children develop at individual speed and therefore you should not chase "the neighbour's son Petechka" who began to creep in 5 months, and to regret that their kid only just spread by 8 months. However if on an end of the 9th month the child still does not creep, there is an occasion to consult with the pediatrician about development of the musculoskeletal device of the kid. There is an opinion that parents can help the child to bring closer slightly the moment when he is able independently to creep. The simplest exercise is for this purpose carried out as follows. The kid is spread on a bed a stomach down and at distance of 20 cm before it have its favourite rattle. In attempt to get a toy the baby will begin to touch actively legs and handles, and through some time at it for certain it will turn out to crawl to the purpose. However similar exercises have a reverse side. If the child is not ready to crawling yet and will not be able to reach a favourite toy, it will only upset him. In that case you should not provoke it because the kid himself also is interested in studying the world and objects surrounding it. As soon as the baby ripens for development of new skill of movement, similar incentives or any other will not be necessary for it at all. It is necessary to remember that the child is the same personality having features of character, but still dependent, undeveloped intellectually and physically. Many modern writers of books on care for babies express the opinion confirmed with the facts that respect for children – obligatory attribute of successful education and full development of kids.
