Don’t be worried if children prefer to crawl

When children manage to crawl, it may take them a while
beforestarting to walk. If your children see a thing that attract them and
crawl to it immediately, maybe they just want to get there immediately, and
walking takes longer time to them.
Stopping the walk is also a hard thing to do
When children know how to walk, the next challenge is how to
stop. Children have to fall before they know how to walk. Every step children
make need more efforts than adults as they can’t fold their knees or control
heel - toes movements. They also don’t know how to break the forward agency by
stop moving one leg before stopping the other. The only way to help them stop
is a fall.
Bare feet are the best
Children can walk
more easily on their bare feet as the bare feet help them to directly contact
to the floor.
Children can walk more easily on their bare feet as the bare
feet help them to directly contact to the floor. Of course, when you take
children out for a trip, they need to wear shoes. You should choose shoes that
have good elasticity for your children. To check the elasticity of the shoes,
you should try folding the shoes.
Walking changes everything
When children succeed in walking, they can interact with and
discover the world in a whole new way. The walking opens new skills of your
children. As children can walk now, their parents have to change the way to
protect children while letting them be free in discovery. This is also a new
stage of parents.
