Crawling is such an important milestone in a child’s development! 🧸 Here are some key benefits:
1. Motor Development
• Builds strength in arms, legs, hands, and core muscles.
• Improves coordination and balance.
2. Brain Development
• Encourages the left and right sides of the brain to work together (bilateral coordination).
• Helps develop problem-solving skills as babies figure out how to move around obstacles.
3. Sensory Integration
• Provides sensory input through touch and pressure in the hands, knees, and body.
• Helps with body awareness
4. Vision & Perception
• Strengthens eye-hand coordination.
• Trains the eyes to track objects and judge distances, which is important for later reading and writing.
5. Independence & Confidence
• Gives babies the ability to explore their environment.
• Builds confidence as they discover they can move on their own.
