Learn To Crawl Before Trying To Walk and Run
“Every biologically important event, from the recognition of a mother’s smile or a father’s voice to sitting, crawling, walking, and talking are the result of new connections [of brain cell synapses], producing electrical excitement between neurons within the synaptic loop. The Kodak-moment milestones that parents anxiously await are the markers of synaptic development and signs of normal neural growth.”
-Dr. RobertMelillo, ‘Disconnected Kids’When infants are forced to skip or rushed through certain milestones, their development is incomplete for that stage. This can lead to problems later on in life. An example of this would be when a child has an older sibling that is very close in age. The older child may go through the stages properly and walk when it is neurologically ready. The younger child notices the praise and begins to walk before it is done with the crawling phase. Thus, the younger child can present with neurological problems later in its life.
