It would seem, why teach a child a skill that he will master on his own?

But this does not mean that the child cannot be helped in what is already inherent in nature. Below you will find 4 ways to help the child learn to crawl.

1. Massage and exercises on a fitball are very useful for strengthening the baby’s muscles.

2. If you want to introduce your son or daughter to a position in which they would be comfortable crawling, take a small bolster and place it under the child's chest while they are lying down, then roll them back and forth.

3. Take advantage of children's curiosity.

When the baby more or less begins to understand how to crawl, put a bright toy next to him. The child will reach for the thing that is attractive to him and, without realizing it, will crawl briskly.

4. Another incentive, which is perhaps even stronger than curiosity, is personal example.

Parents should feel free to crawl next to their child on the floor or on the bed – it’s not only fun, but also useful.

Earlier we talked about how to explain to a child why he shouldn’t eat chips.
