Who says that if a child walks late, he or she is developmentally delayed? ! Have you considered all of these factors?

Although Xiaokang Jun has been emphasizing that babies should let nature take their own course when learning to walk, many parents still left messages with concern: My baby is 1 year old and can only crawl. Sometimes she can stand for a while when she holds on to something. I hold her up. Take a few steps. But the child next door will be gone at 10 months. Could my baby be developmentally delayed? Do you need to go to the hospital to check? You must know that \”sitting, standing, and walking\” are not learned by the baby, but are things that come naturally as the baby develops. Helping your baby \”learn\” to sit, stand, and walk too early will not only cause unnecessary damage to the spine and lower limbs, but may also cause the baby to have bowed legs. Therefore, parents must not be impatient! You can first compare and observe the \”Infant and Young Children\’s Gross Motor Development Timetable published by the World Health Organization\”. Then consider whether the baby is walking late and whether it is caused by the following factors. For example: Personality: Babies walking early and walking late have a lot to do with their personality. Some babies are naturally bold and outgoing, and have a strong curiosity about things. In order to get what they want, they will eagerly want to stand up and get it, and they will have the idea of ​​standing and walking. Some babies are introverted and quiet, and are skeptical about whether they can stand up. They prefer the current sense of stability. Therefore, these babies will only wait until they can do well before they think about standing up. Compared with bold babies, The baby will walk a little later. Each baby\’s physical development is different. Fat babies will be clumsier than thin babies and will walk later. Some babies are more agile and have strong legs, so they will walk earlier. Seasonal effects Generally speaking, babies learn to walk faster in the summer, because the clothes worn in summer are thinner and the baby is more flexible and will learn to walk more easily. On the contrary, in winter, because the baby wears thicker clothes and moves clumsily, the baby\’s learning to walk will be limited and may be delayed. Environmental factors: The sooner or later the baby walks is also related to the environmental atmosphere. For example, when the baby is crawling, if the parents consciously create a positive high-level and low-level environment for the baby, and give positive encouragement and hints to the baby when he wants to stand up, then the baby will stand up more easily. If parents overprotect the baby during the crawling period and are afraid that the baby will fall, the baby will not be able to walk so quickly under the parents\’ negative cues. Psychological factors: Some babies may have fallen when they were learning to walk, which may cause them to be too frightened to walk. This requires parents to teach their babies more patiently, and must not encourage the child to grow, as this will only be counterproductive. Note: If the above factors are eliminated and the baby still cannot walk, it is best to go to the hospital to check the baby\’s bones and development to see if there are any defects or breaks. Will the baby leave too soon? If the baby learns to walk naturally without intervention, it means that the baby\’s body is fully developed and there is nothing wrong with it. It will not affect the development of bones and joints. Parents do not need to worry. However, if you artificially hope that the baby will learn to walk as soon as possible, and then help the baby practice when the baby does not have the will to walk, then doing so will not be beneficial to the baby\’s development. The baby\’s leg muscles are not fully developed, and their balance strength is not enough. Walking too early is easy to get injured and fall. Therefore, learning to walk should be a natural thing, you just need to follow your baby\’s wishes. Every baby\’s growth and development is different, so the time it takes for them to learn to walk will also be different. Some are early and some are late, which is normal. Parents must guide their babies based on their actual conditions and never act too hastily!
