The first stage (ten to eleven months): This stage is the first stage when the baby begins to learn to walk. When parents find that their baby can stand steadily by letting go, they can start to try to walk!
The second stage (12 months): Squat is an important development process at this stage. Parents should pay attention to the training of baby's standing-squatting-standing coherent movements, which can improve the muscle strength of baby's legs and train the coordination of the body.
The third stage (/kloc-more than 0/2 months): At this time, the baby can already walk with what is in his hand, and then he must learn to let go of his hand for two or three steps. At this stage, it is necessary to strengthen the baby's balance training.
The fourth stage (13 months): At this time, parents should not only continue to train the muscle strength of legs and the coordination between body and eyes, but also focus on training the baby's adaptability to different ground.
The fifth stage (13 ~ 15 months): the baby has been able to walk well, and the exploration of the surrounding things is gradually enhanced. At this time, parents should satisfy his good attitude and let it develop actively.
Meaning:
When the baby starts to walk, it means that the following three conditions are met:
1, the baby can make his own fist and use his fingers and toes at will;
2. The strength of the baby's leg muscles is enough to support its own weight;
3, the baby has been able to flexibly transfer the center of gravity of all parts of the body, and know how to use the limbs, and the movement development of the upper and lower limbs has been very coordinated.
Second, pay attention to the problem of bones:
Some babies tiptoe when they learn to walk. Is this normal or abnormal? Dr. Liu said that parents can judge whether the baby is abnormal by observing the frequency of tiptoe walking. If the baby walks on tiptoe, sometimes it will return to normal, so don't worry. Generally speaking, the baby's motor coordination ability will mature around the age of three. Before that, you don't have to worry too much about walking unsteadily.
Many babies who just learn to walk are prone to sprains, and at this time, the baby usually can't express himself clearly, so parents should carefully observe the baby's every move to know. Dr. Liu said that parents should carefully observe whether the baby is limping or kicking in bed to see if it can be kicked well. In addition, they can also press various parts of the baby's leg to see if the baby will feel pain.
1. Parental assistance:
The first stage: For fear of forgetting to walk, parents can use a stroller or walker to help their baby learn to walk.
The second stage: train the baby to learn to squat-stand, let the parents throw the toys on the ground and let the baby pick them up.
The third stage: parents can stand at both ends and let the baby slowly walk from the father to the mother.
The fourth stage: let the baby practice climbing stairs. If there are no stairs at home, you can use the small chair at home to let your baby practice up and down.
The fifth stage: the board can be placed on a slope with one side high and one side low, but the inclination should not be too big, so that the baby can move from high to low or from low to high. At this time, parents must hold on to prevent the baby from falling.
According to the different development of walking movements in the above five stages, different auxiliary methods are given.
2. Suggested auxiliary tools:
Walkers, stairs, boards, small chairs
Remarks: When using the walker, the baby must pay attention to the following points.
1, it is best to wait until the baby is seven months old and can support his neck and sit still.
2. The height of the walker must be suitable for the baby's height, neither too high nor too low.
3, each use time should not be too long, with no more than 20 minutes as the principle.
4. The use of the walker should be within the sight of adults.
Third, the arrangement of the security environment:
Babies who learn to walk encounter more risks than the previous movements. Parents should pay more attention to environmental safety. In addition to the safety of the family environment, parents can also help the baby put on non-slip shoes and socks to prevent the baby from falling.
Balcony: Once the baby learns to walk, "walking around" is inevitable, so parents will pay special attention to the baby walking on the balcony. There is no fence or the height of the railing is below 85cm, the spacing between the railings is too large (more than 10cm), or there are small stools on the balcony ... It is easy for the baby to climb by mistake, which leads to danger.
Furniture: The furnishings of furniture should try to avoid disturbing the baby's toddler. Parents should put all dangerous goods on high places or remove them, and pay attention to sharp corners in all furniture to prevent the baby from colliding.
Doors and Windows: Babies are easily caught in the switch door, so parents can use the door anti-pinch pad to avoid danger; As for the window, I am most afraid that the baby will play with the curtain rope by the window, so it is easy to get entangled in the rope and cause suffocation.
Grasp the best auxiliary opportunity
Whether the baby's motor development is normal throughout infancy is related to his physical health and cognitive development in the future. If the baby's motor development is blocked, it will not only affect his future study, but also form psychological obstacles, so parents should always pay attention to the baby's motor development at all stages.
Fourth, provide good material conditions.
1. Diapers are one of the most intimate things for babies. During the baby's toddler period, a suitable diaper will play a very good role in promoting the baby's toddler learning. Then, the next step is the choice of diapers. What kind of diapers are suitable for toddlers? First of all, from the appearance, bloated diapers are definitely not popular with babies. They are not only clumsy to wear, but also not conducive to the baby's walking. The narrow crotch design is a good choice, which can be easily put on by the baby without hindering the baby's movement and toddler. Of course, in the face of active, exploratory, struggling babies every day. Diapers must be comfortable, close-fitting, dry, quickly absorbed and leak-proof. Only when these conditions are met, the baby's little ass can be in a comfortable environment, and there is no need to worry about the baby's side leakage after playing for a long time or the baby's little ass will suppress diaper rash. Furthermore, I personally think that the side waist is more elastic and stretches better, because most of the babies in China are fat babies now, so the small meat in the belly and calf legs is indispensable. If the side waist is not an elastic waist, the stretching strength is not good enough, which will "slow down" the toddler. Therefore, the choice of baby diapers can not be ignored, and must be carefully selected.
2. Toddler shoes are also very particular, too big, shoes do not follow the feet, easy to fall, not conducive to the development of feet, not conducive to baby toddlers. When choosing, it is best to choose shoes with soft soles and sizes.
3. Clothes should fit well, not too big or too loose, otherwise it will easily cause obstacles to the baby.
5. What does it mean to learn to walk?
Learning to walk means that the baby is out of the period of almost complete dependence on his parents. If you know what happens to toddlers, then your relationship with your baby will be very harmonious and closer.
When every child learns to walk, it is like opening a door in front of them, and they can explore this mysterious world on their own. Walking freely brings new life to the baby. As they learn to walk by themselves, their mood and behavior will also change greatly.
1. Babies are no longer babies.
Although your baby has just taken a small step unsteadily, from this moment on, their mood and behavior have changed and a series of chain reactions have taken place.
For the baby who just learned to walk, this is a period that makes him excited and worried. On the one hand, they are eager to be close to their parents, on the other hand, they have a desire for independence and exploration. When they go away or run away, they always pay attention to their parents. I'm afraid they go too far. At this time, mom and dad got the first terrible hint: their baby is no longer a baby.
Learning to walk, babies are no longer completely dependent on their parents, they send out independent signals. If you understand the baby's changes and know what the baby's expectations are, then your relationship with the baby will be more harmonious and intimate.
Great changes will take place after the baby learns to walk:
He formed his own personality.
If you ask your mother about your child before he learns to walk, she may say that he is a very quiet and leisurely child. However, after he learned to take the first step, he seemed to be a different person. He always keeps moving and becomes uncontrollable.
The baby's unexpected personality characteristics began to appear, which is an inevitable phenomenon and inevitable. We can find many such examples, and as a result, great changes have taken place in babies. Of course, some sensitive babies become more cautious.
What should parents do?
Accept the child's new personality. We should avoid urging cautious children or discouraging the enthusiasm of bold children. Try to keep her safe.
Maintain consistency. Only a clear routine can make children of 1 year-old know what to do when they are in emotional turmoil, so it is necessary to formulate some rules of behavior for children and ask them to abide by them consistently.
3. Can't live without mom and dad
The baby learned to walk, and he was very excited. He was fascinated by his new skills, but at the same time, his surroundings were full of dangers all the time. Babies who like to walk around no longer need adults to hold or carry them as before, which makes them feel some growing pains: they can't rely on their parents as before.
It is a common phenomenon that babies learn to walk for several months and fear of being separated from their parents is deepening. They will cry loudly when their parents leave, expressing their inner fear and sadness. They will be more alert to "monitor" their parents' every move, or hug their parents tightly when strangers appear. The baby regards his parents as a safe base. They will walk around their parents and then run to them.
What should parents do?
Let children feel safe when playing games. For example, playing the game of "you run and I chase" is equivalent to telling children that exercise is safe because parents will chase him and protect him.
Before leaving, let the children prepare themselves psychologically. Create a way to make children feel at ease when saying goodbye and greeting. When you leave this room for a short time, you should let your baby know that you will come back.
4. Some aspects of development have regressed.
The most important thing for a baby who just learns to walk is to keep his feet steady. After a period of stumbling, they will gradually stabilize, which is very normal. However, when their walking skills are getting stronger and stronger, some aspects of their development are regressing. For example, he may forget the words he has learned.
Don't be surprised if you see your child crawling back and forth. It is normal. Because after falling or being injured, they realize that climbing will be safer.
What should parents do?
Insight into the signs of children's developmental retrogression. If the baby is pestering you, hug him again, and hug him more when you put him to bed. If he doesn't want to go, you can give him a toy to induce him to go more.
Re-arouse the baby's interest in talking. If the baby encounters obstacles in language development, you can often tell him stories, talk to him, ask some questions, and then stop and wait for him to answer.
5. Don't stop until you reach your goal
Babies can walk and want to run; Once he stands up, he wants to climb the mountain. Unfortunately, their athletic ability can't make them do this. After the baby encounters setbacks, the desire is even stronger, and it is necessary to meet his own requirements. They will ask you to help him get what he wants, or he will pull what he wants off the shelf himself. Once his behavior ability can satisfy his wishes, he will be more confident.
What should parents do?
Don't take high-handed measures. Give your baby a variety of choices, turn some potential conflicts into easy games, and encourage your baby to express his wishes in words.
Give a helping hand Give the baby some slight help when he can't realize his wish. Let the baby know what he won't do and ask for help.
