Kids who skip the crawling phase may have trouble with…

…developing certain motor skills and visual perception needed down the road for different learning areas (like reading and writing).

Every child’s timeline is different when they learn to crawl. The important piece is that they do crawl eventually, even as an older toddler or child.

If you have a child or student who has struggled with crawling as a baby, you can still crawl with them as an older child to help them strengthen many foundational skills.

Crawling can help kids develop the following areas:

👶Spatial Awareness for spacing letters and numbers
👶Visual perception for tracking when reading
👶Head and neck strength for copying notes and sitting at a desk when in school
👶Cognitive development through cross lateral movements

There are a number of ways to help your baby, toddler and child continue crawling if this milestone was missed or delayed. In the article below, we talk more about ways to support and encourage crawling in kids who are neurodivergent or need additional help reaching this important milestone. Grab the link below or check it out in our profile to find out how you can help with crawling…

These simple tips and activities can improve the way kids hold their pencils! ✏️ via The Inspired Treehouse
✍️ Draw, write, or color in prone position
✍️ Use shortened writing utensils like library or gold pencils
✍️ Break crayons into smaller pieces and use for coloring
✍️ Draw, write, or paint on a vertical surface
✍️ Work on core strength! Remember, proximal stability is the foundation for distal mobility.
✍️ Use colored tape to mark where kids should grasp their pencil
✍️ Try tucking a small object like a bead into the child’s 4th and 5th fingers while they grasp a pencil. This will promote the use of the “tripod fingers”.
